How to collect WSL logs
Download and execute [collect-wsl-logs.ps1](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/blob/master/diagnostics/collect-wsl-logs.ps1) in an **administrative powershell prompt**: ``` Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/WSL/master/diagnostics/collect-wsl-logs.ps1" -OutFile collect-wsl-logs.ps1 Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force .\collect-wsl-logs.ps1 ``` The script will output the path of the log file once done. If this is a networking issue, please use [collect-networking-logs.ps1](https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/blob/master/diagnostics/collect-networking-logs.ps1), following the instructions [here](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#collect-wsl-logs-for-networking-issues) Once completed please upload the output files to this Github issue. [Click here for more info on logging](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#8-collect-wsl-logs-recommended-method) If you choose to email these logs instead of attaching to the bug, please send them to wsl-gh-logs@microsoft.com with the number of the github issue in the subject, and in the message a link to your comment in the github issue and reply with '/emailed-logs'.View similar issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a researcher, I rely heavily on Windows due to its rich ecosystem of software that's invaluable for my work. However, I find Linux much more comfortable for development. I've tried running Linux on a Windows emulator, but the experience wasn't satisfying. This led me to dual-boot both Windows 11 and Ubuntu. Unfortunately, I encounter issues when trying to run graphical software on Linux via WSL, even with WSLg; it lacks the polish and stability of a full Linux boot.
Describe the solution you'd like I suggest enhancing Hyper-V to allow Linux VMs to fully leverage dedicated graphics hardware, similar to KVM. This would enable a near-metal virtualization experience, allowing full utilization of hardware resources while maintaining a Linux desktop environment within Windows. This setup would keep everything organized under Hyper-V. Moreover, installing graphical applications via WSL clutters the Windows Start menu, disrupting its organization. An optimized Hyper-V setup would offer a unified, efficient development environment without needing to dual boot.
Describe alternatives you've considered I've considered and currently use dual booting as an alternative, but this requires frequent system restarts, which is disruptive to my workflow. Another alternative is using WSLg, but as mentioned, it lacks the stability and organization needed for a professional development environment.
Additional context Enhancing Hyper-V to support GPU passthrough and near-metal virtualization for Linux would revolutionize the way we utilize Linux on Windows. It would eliminate the need for dual booting and make tools like VS Code seamlessly integrate with the full Linux desktop environment. Windows would shift to performance mode when running such VMs, minimizing resource overhead and acting as an efficient host. This would enable simultaneous use of tools like Photoshop on Windows while running a full Linux development environment.
