recently i have been seeing all this screenshots like the one bellow and hearing that linux gui apps would become first class desktop citizens with seamless integration. So i opted for windows insider dev channel and updated kernel to 4.19.121, setup cuda using this which is working fine.
but i am still having to use xming or vnc for gui applications

is there any how to guide on running gpu accelerated gui apps seamlessly without all that xming, maybe ????

and if i still need the xming then can anyone explain what is the improvement that everyone is talking about ???

The GPGPU improvements are (currently) unrelated to GUI apps. For that, /dupe #938 ("would become" future tense). Your first screencap is the future tense part.

That people keep posting in closed duplicate #3789 is something out of our control short of locking it. The person over there is running X410 same you Xming. The person in #829 who shared that second screencap you pasted is on 4.19.104 which ironically doesn't support /dev/dxg. Three hooray emojis anyway. It's the Internet; what you gonna do.
