Zach in our lab has tried ChimeraX on an Ubuntu 22 WSL installation about 2 months ago and said it worked but ran slowly compared to running ChimeraX natively on Windows. Also Zach suggested that ChimeraX run under Windows could read and write the data files on the Windows System for Linux (WSL) virtual machine file system.
So could you explain what your use case is? We recommend not using ChimeraX on virtual machines because performance may be poor and problems often arise getting hardware accelerated graphics to work.

Dear Elaine and Eric,
Since the number of Windows WSL systems is increasing do you consider releasing the compatible version of ChimeraX?
