I have not used WSL2 that much, but as far as I know OpenGL/EGL should 
be functional with WSL2. Are you using an up-to-date Mesa?

If you are using Ubuntu, Debian tends to dissect monorepos for 
packaging. Maybe you can try again to not rely on SHM after installing 
these packages listed here: https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/mesa. 
Depending on the modules, it may also require re-configuration.
