I'm using Windows 10 Insider Preview with Windows subsystem for Linux enabled
Je me demande what's the true differences between VcXsrv and Xming to view windows from Ubuntu in windows
Je sais the immediate differences with the settings, I meaning more specifics, like what's less resource intensive and maybe things to don't work on one but do with the other
The `Windows-10` tag does apply as this has existed since the AU in normal builds
difference between x servers in windows
Re: difference between x servers in windows
[VcXsrv](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/) is a open source project under [GPLv3](https://sourceforge.net/p/vcxsrv/code/ci/master/tree/COPYING) license about building reliable X Server using Visual Studio in potentially optimal manner. It's common knowledge Microsoft Compilers are very good for Windows platform, since there are free variants it's tempting option. It was my first choice for X Server when J'ai essayé *Windows Subsystem for Linux* for the first time in Windows 10.
[Xming](http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/) is a weird project which under term **Donation** hides a price for the installable binaries. J'ai toujours though donations are voluntary, but it seems the author has different perception. This project was the only option to have X Server on Windows natively for very long time, but since we have VcXsrv, there is choice.
Personnellement, j'ai have very good experience with VcXsrc, it's easy to install and works very fast. I'm surprised it's not more popular. As far as Je sais their code is more clean version of original X server and doesn't relate to Cygwin.
