Does anyone run Emacs with wsl2? I've noticed that fonts are quite a bit less crisp than they could be. On the left is running Emacs on a native terminal, on the right is the gui application.(alien.top)

Not sure if there’s something else missing in your setup. I’m using WSL2 (Ubuntu), and in my case all I had to do was compile Emacs passing the --with-pgtk flag, then:

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks yaru-theme-gtk yaru-theme-icons

And ran gnome-tweaks in the terminal, and changed the application and icon themes to Yaru-dark.
