Does this answer your question? What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on Windows Subsystem for Linux as of 2018? and Are there any limitations in working in Ubuntu in Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10? – karel Oct 07 '20 at 08:28

Yes, there are multiple ways. You can use virtualization (e.g. VirtualBox) which would allow you to use full Linux install but requires more system resources (at least disk space, RAM, and CPU power).
Or you can use some compatibility layer like WSL or Cygwin. This allows running some parts of the GNU/Linux system, especially the command line tools.
