Currently working to install gym/roboschool, running into the following error from WSL:

enter image description here

The latest drivers are installed on my GPU which states I'm on OpenGL 4.6.

EDIT

Still no luck unfortunately, I'm on 20H1 now (after weeks of failing to install) confirmed on wsl2, updated graphics drivers, but somehow ubuntu isn't using my graphics properly. screenshot

The latest drivers are installed on my GPU which states I'm on OpenGL 4.6

Since OpenGL is highly dependent on device drivers. I suspect your problem is due to the fact, the current version of Windows Subsystem for Linux, is unable to load kernel Linux drivers. Since the current version of Windows Subsystem for Linux, does not officially support GUI Linux applications, this makes complete sense.

The latest drivers are installed on my GPU which states I'm on OpenGL 4.6.

You might have necessary Windows drivers installed that does not mean they are accessible to the Windows Subsystem Linux instance. Just because you have the Windows drivers installed allowing to run a Windows OpenGL executable does not mean you can run a Linux executable that requires a kernel driver.

The limitations I describe will be resolved with the release of Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 which will appear in a future build planned for a June 2019 release. WSL 2 will run an actual Linux kernel once it is released.

WSL 2 uses an entirely new architecture that uses a real Linux kernel. Initial builds of WSL 2 will be available through the Windows Insider program by the end of June 2019. Linux binaries use system calls to perform many functions such as accessing files, requesting memory, creating processes, and more.

Strictly speaking. If WSL 2 is running a Linux kernel then you should be able to install the required display drivers to provide OpenGL support.
