Hmm, there used to be an "ose" edition which lacked some usb patch through stuff I believe, it's not related to that? Haven't seen that in a while but it used to be 2 separate downloads...

So it's not any of that stuff you can select on the "Custom Setup" screen then...

It's a seperate download, not anything that you can get with the normal VirtualBox installer.

On an unrelated note, have you considered a third-party X server for windows, like Xming or VcXsrv, for use with your WSL apps?

Yes, it works, still doesn't really come near the experience of a full VM with dropdown terminals and sshfs in the filemanager etc.

Have you tried the "one large window" mode rather than the "multiple windows" mode? That could be closer to what you want.
