Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
N/A
Describe the solution you'd like
Build 22000 and higher introduced GUI functionality in WSL2. However, the available vGPU drivers for OpenGL rendering are only available for Intel/AMD/Nvidia, and not for Qualcomm yet (which is the GPU that's used in arm64 devices like the Surface Pro X)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently using the GUI without hardware accelerated rendering, which is alright for now, but it'd be great if a vGPU driver could be added in the future.

Research direction
Start with the linked WSL GUI prerequisites and review how vGPU drivers support OpenGL rendering for Intel, AMD, and Nvidia. The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points; done would mean Qualcomm hardware-accelerated rendering is supported on arm64 devices such as Surface Pro X.
