#12They are asking $50 for something that there are other open source solutions for. It would be interesting to find out how much of the original source code is the developers and how much is just repackaging of one of the multitude of open source X servers for Windows that are currently available. Originally thinking it was another open source project, I looked at the website to see if there were some features that wou…
I don't know how much code is shared, if any, but I do know that xming and vcxsrv both crash for me constantly and X410 doesn't. Like, ever. I got it on sale, but I'd pay full price solely for the amount of headache it has saved me.

In general why do sites or apps feel the need to block this, drives me nuts.

#15I've been using XMing for years (there are probably better options out there but it works for me) and there is of course vcxsrv as other people have mentioned. It looks nice and all, but there are plenty of free options available that will do the same.
If only xming and vcxsrv would stop crashing...

#16I wish, there was a standard URL suffix for "Pages for Techies", like "/techspecs", or similar.
Whenever I go to a Product-Page like this one, I'm instantly turned off by the flashiness and wordy prose.
I want a feature list, in text form, not an intro-movie!
Before closing the tab i did notice though, that this product seems interesting, and I would have liked to read more about it.

I bought it for $10 ("$40 off") and that's still how its listed for me. I never tried the other free options but reviews online were consistent that X410 was good. I've been happy with it.

They used to sell it for much cheaper - way back when I got it, I'm pretty sure it was under $10. If they raised it that much, surely that's a sign of demand?
I have little doubt that it's a polished fork, but what ultimately matters is the value added - in this case, the value is, "it just works". The only thing I had to do manually was to configure DISPLAY=:0 system-wide in my WSL.

#19Re: X410 – X Server for Windows 10
#20I've been using VcXsrv ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/vcxsrv/ ) to do the same thing for a few months. It works well in most cases, but it can be janky. The scaling doesn't always work well if you're using a hidpi screen, and I had one application that was crashing consistently under certain circumstances. Definitely going to try this out, but I wonder if it's worth paying for when I have a free alternative that…
VcXsrv is great for bridging WSL and the Windows GUI, e.g. launching an x11 image viewer from WSL bash
