TOOLS that i USE for WSL and Debian 13

X410 - Xserver for windows 11 - So you have a Console / Desktop TO See GNOME.
Do you want to seamlessly use Linux GUI apps side by side with Windows
apps? Simply start X410 and adjust a few settings; your Linux GUI
apps then suddenly appear in Windows and you can use them like Windows 
apps! It doesn't matter where your Linux GUI apps are actually
running; it can be a full virtual machine, Docker container, WSL
(Windows Subsystem for Linux) or whatever. As long as your Linux GUI
apps support X-Window client protocols, you can use them in Windows.
You can even securely use your Linux GUI apps running in a far remote
server via any SSH client that supports X11 forwarding over the Internet.

About Debian - 2025 - https://www.debian.org

Debian is a popular and freely available computer
operating system (OS) that uses a Unix-like
kernel-- typically Linux -- alongside other program
components, many of which come from GNU Project. 
Debian can be downloaded over the internet or, for
a small charge, obtained on CD, DVD, Blu-ray disc or
USB flash drive.

About LXQt Desktop - 2025 - https://lxqt-project.org

LXQt is a desktop environment that is designed to
be especially energy-efficient and suitable for 
older systems. It is based on the widget toolkit Qt
and uses SDDM as its recommended/standard display
manager. LXQt is available in Debian stable
since Stretch (Debian 9).
