Are you sure? I watched the conference and this uses the RDP framework behind the scenes, integrating with Wayland. Why would it consume much more than running natively?

Its not the gui part, its just a full VM.

Oh, I use WSL2 every day and that's not true. I uses dynamic memory and shares with the host. No blocked off 8GB or RAM or anything like that.
