Hi,
First I followed original instructions, but after connecting over RDP and entering login credentials, it was closing the RDP session immediately.
Then I run all commands from Ridwan's post, and now it works well!
Thank you Robin and Ridwan!
PS: I have Ubuntu 20.04 installed in WSL 2.

It seems like newer versions of wsl are having this behavior, good that Ridwan shared his solution and you got it working with it 😊

I have run Ubuntu with xfce on WSL1 using VcXsrv, but can't use the browser. I tried to update Windows to be able to try WSL2, it turns out that xfce could not run due to display problems. Finally here I found the solution by Ridwan, of courser Robin also who made the tutorial thread, as well as other commentators. Thanks.
