Running graphical programs on WSL

This is a quick walkthrough on getting graphical programs working on a Linux distro running via Windows Subsystem for Linux. We'll use Ubuntu for this, as it's one of the most common distros and can be easily installed via the Microsoft Store.

How to quit Vim

If you've ever accidentally opened up Vim, you may know how difficult it is to exit out if you have no experience with it. Luckily, there are many solutions, as documented in this GitHub repository. Print this out and pin it on your wall and you'll no longer have to fear being stuck in Vim until the heat death of the universe (or until you restart your computer, whichever comes first).

WSL home directory

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a wonderful thing. Being able to open up a terminal prompt and compile some C code without needing to deal with MinGW or a booting up a full-blown virtual machine is awesome. But how do you access the home folder from Windows Explorer? You could drill down the installation path of the WSL distribution in question, but if you're running Windows 10 version 1903, there's an easier way.
