You can now run Linux GUI apps in Windows 10 [Update] May 25, 2021 11:00 EDT with 4 comments
As this year s Build developer event kicks off, Microsoft has announced a major new feature for Windows 10 - the ability to run Linux apps with a GUI. This is a major expansion of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, which already lets you run command line-based Linux apps, and it means you can now use GUI apps without having to set up a traditional virtual machine with a Linux distribution.
Interestingly, this feature has actually been in testing with Windows Insiders on the Dev channel since April, but it isn t coming through a typical Windows 10 feature update. It s just available now for existing versions of Windows 10 and you can start using it right away.

So I guess it could still be pretty expensive.
