I have a Windows 11 machine. I installed WSL2 Linux (Ubuntu distro) on it. I am trying to build a Linux version of Stellarium, but was so far unable to make it uses my NVIDIA RTX 5070 GPU. Has someone been able to do this ? Currently I was able to build Stellarium in this environment, but Stellarium run with CPU-based rendering, not RTX acceleration

The more general question therefore is: How to make a Geforce work under WSL2. It is not related to just Stellarium. Google or other search engines may help faster than anyone in this small forum here.
