I heard somewhere it was possible to use #GUI apps with #Orca under #wsl. Is this actually a thing? if so, how would I do it? Thanks for any advice anyone can provide!

I did this a while ago and it worked. I will try it again once and see if I can recall what I had to do.

So, I did 2 things, probably in revers. Did sudo apt install orca and then sudo apt install gnome. System is still installing. We'll see if ti works.
