This is how I run graphical Emacs in WSL. And how I was developing SDL games as well.

I hear this might become a native built-in feature in Windows but for now I just run an X client.

It's already here, for more than a year, both on Windows 10 and 11. I use this for emacs (with a GTK build) every day.

WSL has been able to open graphical Linux apps for a while. They use Wayland (with FreeRDP to the Windows Host) and XWayland for X11 apps.
