I run Julia from Windows Subsystem for Linux ( WSL ), on windows10, 64.
The system information of WSL is as follows.

You need properly setup opengl drivers for GL (OpenGL) makie!
There is a high chance, that it isn’t easily possible for WSL :wink:

Thanks! It should be the problem of OpenGL driver in WSL. It is not easy to solve in WSL ( OpenGL in WSL ). Hopefully, WSL2 or WSL3 could solve this problem.
