Just install [Xming](https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/) on windows, and run it.

Now you can run any all them gui apps!

Just follow this guide https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-on-wsl2-on-windows-11-with-gui-support#1-overview. They require Ubuntu 20.04 but it also works fine for Ubuntu 18.04. If there are any trouble, follow along this post https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/6430#issuecomment-881766991.
