I didn’t realise that WSL supports Debian and that Xming is good enough to get running. I have a spare Windows machine — maybe it’s time to give WSL a shot …
As far as I can see, the Windows Store provides Ubuntu, openSUSE, Kali Linux, Debian, and SLES as of today. This might change in the future. The number of Windows X servers is still rather small, there are Xming, VcXsrv and that's about it, I guess. (Please correct me, anyone.)
