>From memory... and unfortunately at this point,not user friendly. With Windows 10 version 2004 installed: Open the Turn Windows Features on or off dialog Select Windows Subsystem for Linux and Virtual Machine Platform options Installed to WSL, a very striped down Fedora from https://github.com/yosukes-dev/FedoraWSL Used wsl to convert FedoraWSL from version 1 to version 2 "wsl --set-version fedora32 2" Logged into Fedora via the command "wsl" used dnf to install xfce, gnucash and several other utilities created a user account with the name matching my windows username in .bashrc set the DISPLAY variable "export DISPLAY=localhost:0" Back in windows, installed a windows X server: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/ Launched the X server with the display set to 0 Created a shortcut with target: C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe -u chris bash -l -c gnucash (when logging in to fedora via the wsl command, the .bashrc was not being executed so DISPLAY wasn't being set thus - bash -l -c gnucash) Double clicked the shortcut and voila -- GnuCash Used the file->open dialog to open my data file -- BTW, the default directory here was my Windows user directory
The process is a bit tedious and not something a typical user should be asked to do, but it did work and was a fun exercise. Note that all the GC config and AQB stuff lives in the users Linux home dir.
