Windows 10 Update 21H2 GPU support under Linux

Post by MeeLee »

From the Windows update info on update 21H2, I read:
GPU compute support for the Windows Subsystem for Linux
Starting with Windows 10 version 21H2, the Windows Subsystem for Linux has full graphics processing unit (GPU) compute support. It was available to Windows Insiders, and is now available to everyone. The Linux binaries can use your Windows GPU, and run different workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) development workflows.

For more information, and what GPU compute support means for you, see the GPU accelerated ML training inside the Windows Subsystem for Linux blog post.

This is for when running Linux in a window (like CMD/DOS); like, when you want to experiment with running FAH Linux client under Windows.

Since I haven't seen any threads about this, I decided to create a new one.
Chances are, GPU acceleration for the Linux client under Windows, may not work, or be finicky, or slow...
Anyone who has the time to fiddle around with it to make it work, would be nice to see some performance metrics?

Just do a VM with Linux.
