I'm trying to run Hyprland on WSL. I have an X Server(GWSL), but reinstalling Mesa3D and building it from source isn't working(build error). What can I do?

Hyprland requires Wayland. It can't be started on an Xserver.

Hyperland is Wayland. X won’t work. You can however install wslg if you have a supported windows version, which uses Wayland and hence a hyperland session could be run. Keep in mind that you can’t replace the windows DE, so hyperland likely won’t run as well as you hope it will.

I just realised how dumb this sounded and is, sorry for not realising this. Thank you.
