WSL2 with GUI using Xvnc

In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2, and access it using VNC. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv) is required, except, of course, a VNC Viewer (RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UVNC, etc, all of them might work flawlessly).

The key component we need to install is tigervnc-standalone-server.

For this setup, I will use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa, unfortunately 22.04 does not work), and install GNOME Desktop. Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the Sample screenshots section for examples.

So let's go. First, we need a working WSL2 installation.

# Update the created/modified dates of PDF files to match the Notability .note
# native format's metadata.  Used to preserve date ordering of notes exported
# from Notability.
#
# Step 1. Back up notability to a shared drive in the native "Note" format
# Step 2. Change the backup format to PDF and create PDF versions
# Step 3. Run this script against each .note file
