As WSL2 release a while back, many people has excited about it and some linux distribution does support GUI mode . So i will be writing a bit of my preference that i just solve while using WSL2 with windows terminal.
Requirement
1. WSL2 is enable - click here to enable and read about it
2. Windows Terminal - click here to get it
3. Install GUI on your Linux Distro - click here
So here is my case, i have kali linux distro downloaded and run. Apart from that , i also install win-kex to experience the GUI. however, it goes to full screen and take all my screen as the result of launching that .
while searching on the solution, i found a paramater needed to be add to make it work like RDP.
resulting this
so it does reach my preference to use it but how do i make it work if i try to launch this via windows terminal and my answer to that is add a specific profile with command to it.
Here is my version
{
"commandline": "wsl -d kali-linux kex --wtstart
esm",
//wsl
-d kali-linux kex --wtstart -s
"guid": "{55ca431a-3a87-5fb3-83cd-11ececc031d2}",
"hidden": false,
"name": "Win-KeX"
}
Then, another profile will be listed for you to use
that all for my sharing this time. and here are some reading material before i can come out with this
1. Win-KeX ESM | Kali Linux Documentation *ps i found this right after setting my profile in terminal
2. How to install Win-Kex (Kali Linux on Windows 10) with WSL - Hack Forums
4. Setup Kali Linux in Windows 10 WSL2 Setup Kali Linux in WSL2 (techtutsonline.com)
