CCP4 7.1 including coot-0.9.5 works on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS under WSL2.
My ~/.bashrc has the line (which the CCP4 installation created):
After installation of WSL2 according to [https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/wsl/install-win10 https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-win10], I installed [https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ MobaXterm] as the Xserver. When the Windows firewall asked whether it should allow MobaXterm communciation, I answered "yes" for both private and public networks.
Before you start CCP4 installation,
sudo mkdir /opt/xtal
sudo chown MYWSLNAME /opt/xtal
A few libraries are needed before CCP4 installation (tcsh is needed by CCP4, the others are mostly graphics libraries):
sudo apt install tcsh libqt5opengl5 libqt5printsupport5 libqt5gui5 libxcb-render0 libxcb-shm0 libglu1-mesa libgomp1
Let the CCP4 installation "modify the environment" for you. My ~/.bashrc has the line (which the CCP4 installation created):
source /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh
source /opt/xtal/ccp4-7.1/bin/ccp4.setup-sh
I created a file in the Windows filesystem (replace MYUSERNAME with your Windows username):
cd /mnt/c/Users/MYUSERNAME/
cd /mnt/c/Users/MYUSERNAME/
echo "[wsl2]" > .wslconfig
echo "[wsl2]" > .wslconfig
to make the shelx* programs happy (see https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4694 ), and to make "vsyscall=emulate" appear in /proc/cmdline. After creating the file, WSL2 must be restarted with "wsl.exe --shutdown" (or the machine booted).

Performance of coot is good enough for occasional work. XDSGUI and multi-threaded XDS work as expected. For reading .h5 files, the NEGGIA plugin works correctly, but the DURIN plugin currently crashes (a [https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/durin/issues/22 bug] has been reported).
