Can you explain what you mean with GUI installer?

e.g. selecting a .deb from the GUI that starts the installation (command) in a distro?

I mean as you would sideload APK to WSA using WSATools. So, yes.

I am closing this as it's not planned for now. I don't see why there needs to be a GUI option for that. Convince me otherwise if you think I am mistaken :)

No, it's ok. Just it was a suggestion, because installing Linux packages wether from repository or from sideloading cause a headache slightly.
