Microsoft still found a common language with Linux. But this is not about that now, it will be in the next conversational question. So, in a recent Insider Preview update, WSL2 learned how to run GUI Linux applications directly on Windows. I was able to run LibreOffice, Calendar, ToDo and Minesweeper. Firefox gave a profiles error.
However, I had to suffer for two days with the launch of WSL2. I first tried on Windows Server 2022 Insider Preview. But there WSL2 did not work in any way, only WSL version 1. I tried again in Windows 10 Entherprice for Virtual Desktops (Multi-session mode in Windows 10 corporate). But there I caught the same error as on Windows Server. As a result, everything started only on Windows 10 Pro Single Language (Windows 10 Pro for one language).
Why doesn't WSL2 work on server systems? How to run WSL2 on Windows Server with gui applications and X support?

1. And why, if instead of Windows you can immediately install a server system.
2. See the requirements for the version of Windows to deploy. Among them is Hyper-V support, and build version, etc.
