This is not really the scope of this viewer. It should provide an option to
run the "official"
viewer on Linux. For example FS support often asks if someone tried to
reproduce  their
issue on the official viewer. To test if it's a problem specific to
Firestorm or a generic one.

Speaking about docker or WSL2 in general, both are not made for GUI
application. And while\
you could do something by using a remote  display, performance won't be
something you have
fun with. If the viewer starts at all and can use that display.

Cheers,
