The XDC 2020 video: [VIDEO] If you're interested in the lowlevel WDDM driver <-> VM driver mapping, seek to 1:18:01 -- it also talks about the compute APIs like CUDA and OpenCL. If you're interested in WSLG, seek to 2:13:01 -- this is the GUI part of the story.

A native method of running GUI applications in WSL2 is coming, I believe it'll be in GA in the Fall 2021 release: [LINK] XDC 2020 talk here: [VIDEO] For Windows Insiders running preview builds, I believe some of the pieces are present but not preconfigured. The XDC 2020 conference talk discusses the advantages of the built-in support, including fewer memory copies and lower latency.
