Thanks for the fix. I'm not able to test this myself, if somebody could confirm this works, I'm happy to merge |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Is this necessary? Just set the environment variable anyways?

Background
I noticed that when I went through this setup last month the instruction for setting the DISPLAY variable did not work for my version of Windows and WSL2.
Through this source it seems that the DISPLAY variable will work out of the box for Windows 11 users with a fresh install or properly updated version as described in this Microsot Tutorial
Tested on Windows 11 Home Build 22631
