Windows 11 Home version 22H2
AMD Ryzen 7 benchmarked @ 4.1 GHZ
16 GB ram benchmarked @ peak speed 13738 MB/s
The specs above show that I have plenty of power and memory to support a desktop GUI on WSL2/Ubuntu 22.04.
I have (at best) a beginner knowledge of Linux and want to have a functional desktop GUI to aid me in the learning Linux. I have been researching and attempting to install a desktop GUI for a few weeks without success.
Additionally I have found conflicting information during this process:
I have attempted to install GNOME, lightdm, and X*** without success.
Please tell me which conflicts are true and whether or not I can have a functional desktop GUI. If it is possible, please provide me with useful links or step-by-step instructions to achieve my goal.
Thanks in advance for helpful feedback.

caffeine

Additionally I have found conflicting information during this process:
- systemd is required for the GUI - systemd is not required for the GUI
- Windows 11 supports systemd - Windows 11 does not support systemd
