+### I'd like to run Docker-OSX on Windows
+
+Running Docker-OSX on Windows is now possible using WSL2 (Windows + Ubuntu Subsystem!).
+
+Ensure KVM is enabled (Windows 11 is required) and `x11-apps` is installed.
+
+First, setup [Docker for Windows following the official Docker guide](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/wsl/#download).
+
+You need the official Docker Desktop exe: [https://desktop.docker.com/win/main/amd64/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe](https://desktop.docker.com/win/main/amd64/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe).
+
+#### Using WSLg (WSL GUI which includes Wayland or X applications to run)
+
+[https://github.com/microsoft/wslg](https://github.com/microsoft/wslg)
+
+To use WSLg's built in X11 server, change these two lines to point Docker-OSX to it.
+
+```bash
+ -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0}" \
+ -v /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
+```
