Draft write-up. Replace with the real case study (TASKS Phase 2).
The problem
WSLg runs single Linux apps well, but there is no simple way to launch a full desktop session for a distro.
How I built it
A small desktop app that lists installed distros, starts a desktop environment inside the chosen one and connects to it.
What I learned
How Windows and WSL2 share networking, display and file systems, and where they don't.
