On my deployment on WSL under worries 11 some of the menus or floating windows do not show any information on them.
Notably the floating mount controller
And the what's interesting menu.
Other than that, everything works well.
I normally just run it under Linux natively, but have used WSL for a few projects.

What I have noticed is only RPI units or those running Raspberry do not work well with the iOptron USB Hubs on the Mounts.
If I use an Intel chip running x64 on something other than Raspberry, it works fine.
I have a few Intel CPUs running Ubuntu and IndiServer on them with no issues on the USB3 hubs.

Yea I did a lot of work on the USB3 hub problem with the Stellarmate, it seems the RPi OS doesn't recognize the hub for whatever reason.
So I have run cables through the mount. I want to work on this issue when I have time, but have not had time to work on this.
I'm not a fan of the slide mount the CEM120 provides anyhow, so I may just replace it and put the Stellarmate on the back end.
I like using a drop in clamp. But again, need time to work on that.
Like you said, it works fine the way it is with cables run through the mount so I am keeping it like that until I change out the top plate of the mount.

K-Stars for Windows and Mac were built using a system called binary-factory. That system has been sunset and the team is looking to move to GItLab for Windows compiling at this time. I do not know if the Mac build will also be moved to GitLab, but I imagine at some point they will.
The systems are maintained by volunteers who dedicate time and resources to building these.

Can you run a virtual environment of Linux under Apple IOS?
I run Linux under my Windows environment (due to windows app crashes I have faced recently).
I run dual monitors as the linux VM environment runs very well and works with dual monitor support.

Well it's over $300, but I got one of these:
www.highpointscientific.com/stellarmate-...otography-controller
It works great with the K-Stars platform running over ethernet.
It has great controls for dew - power outputs - and even a stepper motor port.
It shows up on INDI as it's own device and you can run everything as if it's connected to your system directly. Just got the Temp and Humidity sensor to automate the dew heaters.
It has both a web interface or you can run k-stars via remote desktop (I don't like to run it that way).

Yeah, the QHY SDK does come with the correct FXLOAD, however the QHY SDK installs the support files in a separate location than where INDI stores the drivers.
I do not recommend you install the QHY SDK over the INDI installs, it screws up the locations of driver files.
I ALWAYS use the INDI drivers and compile the FX3LOAD myself after.
I wish we could include the FX3LOAD in the INDI drivers, however FX3LOAD is an OS specific file. We do not like to overwrite any system file from INDI.
I keep a copy of FX3LOAD handy and put it in when needed.
Just be aware, it's an OS distribution problem, Ubuntu is using such an old version of FXload and I have complained many times, but nothing gets done about it.
