okay got it all taken care of. my issue was that I had photos on an
ext3 file system and I needed windows to read it. I took care of it by
booting into a live disk, formatting a stick to a msdos filesystem, copying
the needed pictures onto the stick, chmod 777 these files, and all is good
now!
Actually, no you don’t.
I am familiar enough with most of the virtual machine platforms to know that
you can assign a drive or other device directly to the vm for use. In VMWare,
it’s actually pretty easy in the setup. Virtualbox has something similar. Also,
you can even dedicate a device direc

Thats... unusual... VM's you can grant access to an optical drive directly.

wsl won't work. I need to have access to an optical drive. So I need to
wait until I can get a dedicATED LINUX BOX.

Wsl has some advantages over a vm in that you have direct filesystem access
if needed. There are other elements of running things side by side.

Um,
Given you are on a windows box, wouldn’t it be easier to run VMWare or some
other virtual machine platform? I do that here on my OS X system when I need
linux (and ORCA screen reader). Sure, macports (the unix and linux like ports
software library) can be useful without having to deal with
wslg.exe startx just returns through. How does one use it?

WSL comes with a Wayland implementation called WSLg that provides a
rootless display server:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps
That's probably the easiest way to run GUI apps. I would try that first.
Either way, you want a display server that runs outside the VM, on
