I'm currently using Docker on WSL2 and I'm looking for some great GUI applications that I can run on Windows via WSLg. I tried out GitKraken, but realized it's not open-source and I'm hoping to find better options. Aside from Git tools, what other applications do you recommend?

Besides Git tools, you could try Visual Studio Code with the Remote - WSL extension. It gives you powerful code editing features and runs like a champ in WSL. Also, if you're into data analysis, Jupyter Notebook can run really well too via WSLg, allowing you to handle your data projects easily.
It sounds like you're on the right track! For your needs, check out Zed, though it's only available for macOS and Linux right now. It's a great code editor, and it might add some polish to your workflow once they release a Windows version. Additionally, consider looking into apps like GIMP for image editing or Inkscape for vector graphics; both work well on WSLg.
Totally agree with GIMP! It’s way more versatile than you might think for graphic design stuff.
Jupyter is a gem for data visualization! Definitely a must-try!
