Tools that i USE for WSL - Microsoft - Linux - 2026

X410 - Xserver for windows 11 - So you have a Desktop. Do you want to seamlessly use Linux GUI apps side by side with Windows apps? Simply start X410 and adjust a few settings; your Linux GUI apps then suddenly appear in Windows and you can use them like Windows apps! It doesn't matter where your Linux GUI apps are actually running; it can be a full virtual machine, Docker container, WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or whatever. As long as your Linux GUI apps support X-Window client protocols, you can use them in Windows. You can even securely use your Linux GUI apps running in a far remote server via any SSH client that supports X11 forwarding over the Internet.

The CentOS Project is a community-driven free software effort focused around the goal of providing a rich base platform for open source communities to build upon. We will provide a development framework for cloud providers, the hosting community, and scientific data processing, as a few examples. We work with several ‘upstream’ communities to help them layer and distribute their software more effectively on a platform they can rely on. Centos 9 Stream Works!
