None of my Web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera) will launch in Win10*WSL*Ubuntu18.04
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
They all just hang, or barf out some complaints that other Q&As say want nvidia drivers installed, but so doing helps nothing. I think this is because the Win10 / WSL "middleware" is in the way (lspci can't see any hardware, etc.).
Is there a simple, clean, proven "recipe" for getting X service (VcXsrv) to fully support the graphical applications like web browsers? I currently see a mixed bag, some X apps work and some do not and some utter the usual complaint but "get over it":
VcXsrv seems kind of "brittle" - when I try to open 'opera' and have to ^C to get the command prompt back, X service is then broken until I reboot Win10 - not enough to restart (XLaunch) the VcXsrv or open a new bash terminal. Any ideas about that?

Most graphical apps don't run well in WSL. If you intend to use your browsers, use the Windows versions of the browsers.
