Based on a poor newbie's battle with the install process.

I'm not a fan of cd + relative path, but if the absolute path has spaces then you need to quote it, breaking the glob... least-bad method wins I guess.

Oh, and maybe mention TAB-completion somewhere?

Okay I swear this is the last edit: consider WSLg as an alternative to VcXsrv.

You would have to specify this is Windows 11-only as well. Anyone on Windows 10 cannot use WSLg, at least without workarounds.

I didn't test WSLg myself as I didn't install win11. Other users reported that libTAS launches successfully but savestates don't work iirc.

fwiw I installed libTAS in Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL 2 in Windows 10 and it works just fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

WSL2 is not WSLg. WSLg is a completely different thing which is only available on Windows 11 without workarounds.

As of November, WSLg is available for Windows 10.
