And that is slow as hell, laggy scrolling etc. Hope the MS implementation works better.

It's not slow for me. Maybe you have something else running that's interfering with WSL (Defender, etc.)?
I've been using the VcXsrv set up for years (in WSL 1 and now WSL 2). It runs native GUI Linux apps really well. It's how I ran Sublime Text in WSL for a long time before I eventually switched to a different editor. I even ran i3 in it for a bit but gave up on that because it didn't work well with dual monitors. It was smooth as butter tho.
