On the terminal, I get the following:

I really want to use nannou. How can I fix this issue?

Nannou is built on top of WGPU. It seems that lavapipe (a CPU-based renderer) mostly works with WGPU but may still have issues. See https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/1551

I'm able to run most of the wgpu examples on Lavapipe locally, although @cwfitzgerald had less luck with it. If Nannou works on bleeding edge wgpu, you might want to run on OpenGL ES backend, which should be natively supported under WSL.
