This is great, do you notice any performance impact?
I didn't do any formal benchmark. The XWindows display is noticeably laggy when you drag windows in Pharo, but I didn't find it annoying. The baseline installs I did were not noticeably slower than what I'm used to.�� I did some testing and debugging for several hours and I forgot I was running XSL, except for the keyboard. I haven't figured out why my quotes and apostrophes and tildes are not right. I think I had that problem in a lubuntu VM under Windows 10, too.
I had to install a lubuntu VM as a workaround to the existing Iceberg
"long file paths" issues.
Maybe the WSL method will be a useful alternative.��
