Kali KEX

I have been using WSLv2 for a considerable period, relying on it as an alternative to a virtual machine (VM) due to its significantly improved performance over the first version. However, since WSL only supports a terminal interface, I occasionally needed to install a VM. This was the case until I discovered the tool "kex," which enables running the Kali Linux GUI with considerably fewer resources than a traditional VM. Below is the method to activate it while WSL is running:

1. Open WSL and enter the following command to install kex:

   sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y kali-win-kex

2. Once the installation is complete, you can start kex by entering the following command:

   kex

This approach allows you to easily run the Kali Linux graphical user interface with significantly fewer resources compared to using a VM.
