How to use Kitty on Windows in a semi-cursed way

[jgregoire]

I wanted to use nvim+neorg with image rendering on Windows (which I have to use for my job). What you see here is Kitty running on WSL2, displaying an X window fully integrated with the rest of the Windows desktop environment.

I even have an icon pinned to the taskbar to launch kitty.

I followed these guides:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps
• https://github.com/danielbisar/settings/blob/main/guides/kitty-on-windows-with-wsl2.md

Performance is great, and the window behaves well with FancyZones.
