Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with glxgears in WSL 2 on Ubuntu 24.04 and reviewing the supplied Mesa/OpenGL diagnostic output. Compare the result with Intel's Configure WSL 2 for GPU Workflows guidance and the linked Intel discussion; done means identifying a documented root cause or a reproducible diagnosis for the Intel Arc iGPU behavior.
