Technically yes, but WSL2 is remarkably close to optimal in terms of throughput. Unlike WSL1 (a type 2 hypervisor), WSL2 requires Hyper-V (a type 1 hypervisor), meaning Windows also runs as a VM once it’s enabled. The Linux vGPU driver still needs to go through the Windows Nvidia driver as far as I know, but that is seldom the bottleneck for CUDA applications.
You can run GUI apps but I’m not sure about GPU workloads. Wouldn’t bare metal be the best for that?

true it uses a Microsoft Hypervisor Virtual Machine
