The latest version of Dell XPS (2020 version) comes with a neat feature of fingerprint scanner. It's usually not enaled by default after installing Ubuntu, though you're just few simple stpes away from using your finger tip instead of typing your password for sudo.
WSL is great for running Linux shell on the Windows machine. You have access to the awesome Linux tooling and apps that every developer loves.
Problem arises when we want to run an app that requires graphical interface. Currently WSL does not support any graphical interface officially but as always there are some ways to bypass the limitations. As far as I am aware, this can be achived in two ways:
XRDP)I have tried both solutions and none of them is perfect. Remote desktop connection is laggy and adds a lot of overhead but it is still more reliable and effective than trying to use the X Server (e.g. Xming or VcXsrv). X Server solution requires more fine tuning, fiddling with the configuration and takes more time to setup. It also often crashes with very exciting traceback that hurt your eyes.
Setting up Ubuntu or any other Linux based system on Windows machine by using VitrualBox was your only option until recently. Over the last few years new possibility emerged. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) has been added to Windows 10 version 1607 in late 2016 and then to Windows Server 2019 edition.
Currently WSL has quite a few limitations like no default GUI support or many small bugs related to the files shared between Windows and Linux distro beside all the caveats it's stable enough to be used during the development without need to run VirtualBoxes or DualBoot.
