OK, thanks.
It is expected that soon WSL (2) will allow also to run graphical
(Linux) programs on Windows, but not quite there yet. (But one should be
able to run the console version of Docker with the console version of
gretl then.)
Actually, I think I've already seen this -- but I maybe wrong. I am
going to ask a friend of mine regarding this.
As we are just talking about it: One nice thing about containers is that
you don't get all the trouble with installing various gretl version --
especially on Linux. Just build and start your own or somewhere hosted
container having some gretl 2020a/b/c/d/e or whatever installed.
Also, as Gretl does not have anything comparable to environment for
specific projects with its own dependencies as, for instance, Python or
Julia, container can be used as such environments: "Simply" build a
specific container including all the dependencies needed for your own
fully reproducible research project ;-)
