Sample WSL Linux GUI setup review
This sample shows the shape of the paid deliverable. A real review is tailored from the buyer's WSL distro state, Windows build, GUI stack, terminal logs, and target apps.
Example finding
- Setup state: Arch Linux on WSL boots, but GUI app startup, systemd behavior, shell init, and display forwarding are not yet separated into independently testable checks.
- Main risk: reinstalling packages or replacing display-server components before recording the Windows/WSL baseline can turn a local setup issue into a hard-to-reproduce environment drift problem.
- Reliability decision: capture distro, WSLg/X11, systemd, GPU, font, clipboard, and terminal startup evidence before adding desktop layers.
Example next experiments
- Record `wsl --status`, distro version, Windows build, `.wslconfig` shape, and shell startup files.
- Test one GUI app through the intended display path before installing a full desktop stack.
- Verify systemd/service assumptions separately from terminal profile and shell customization.
- Only then make the install notes repeatable and add recovery commands for common breakpoints.
