In this tutorial, we explain maybe the simplest possible method for installing a Linux Desktop and Linux Graphics User Interface (GUI) in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). Here is a brief overview of the tasks that we will perform in this tutorial in order to install the desktop environment:
1. Install WSL2 and a desired Linux distribution. In our case, we will install Ubuntu 24.04
2. Install Tasksel: https://wiki.debian.org/tasksel
Tasksel is a software package that can be used to install the Linux Desktop Environment (Linux GUI)
3. Install xrdp. Xrdp is a software package that enables us to setup and use a remote desktop protocol. Xrdp is developed by Microsoft and it allows us to remotely access and interact with a server’s graphics user interface. Xrdp is an abbreviation (acronym) for X Remote Desktop Protocol.
4. Use the Windows remote desktop connection to connect to the Linux Desktop Environment.
