It has proper gui support now?

    Let me clearify, you cant run full desktop environments on it. You cant even run a window manager like Sway on it.

    You can but it's a very cursed way to do it. You need to run an X server on windows and set up x11 forwarding. I remember trying it ages ago and it sort of worked. I ended up giving up on it as I ended up just using a live boot.

    The only way it could really do it would be for the Windows shell to get out of the way, which it won't.

    You can with effort have some sort of abomination where you get inflicted with both UI designs at the same time...
