GUI Apps Segfault on Ubuntu 22.04+

[vesk4000]

Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4317]

WSL Version

2.3.24.0

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2

Distro Version

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Other Software

No response

Repro Steps

Install Ubuntu 22.04 or Ubuntu 24.04 (via the Microsoft store, the terminal, or by importing a custom WSL Ubuntu distribution).
Run

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install mesa-utils
glxgears

Expected Behavior

I expect a window to open showing three gears. In fact, this works WSL for Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS:

Actual Behavior

It segfaults:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens when I try to run any (GPU-accelerated) app that I can think of. I've tried many different drivers and mesa PPA's, but none of them do the trick.
