Gazebo won't show GUI on WSL 2 - Illegal Instruction

On WIndows 11, I have WSL 2 with Ubuntu 20.04 installed. VcXsrv is running, Ros noetic.

First, I set DISPLAY first so I don't get a Can't open display: :0 error:

$ export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'):0

Then I run gazebo and I get no errors, but I don't see the GUI:

$ gazebo --verbose

$ gzserver --verbose

[Msg] Waiting for master. [Msg] Connected to gazebo master @ http://127.0.0.1:11345 [Msg] Publicized address: 172.23.121.132 Illegal instruction

I am guessing the Illegal Instruction error is the problem, but I don't know how to fix it or where to get more feedback.
