Migrate a physical Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop to WSLg in Windows 11 by mounting the system SSD

I have a existing physical Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop system running on a SSD with ext4 as the file system.

I mounted the SSD into the WSLg Ubuntu in Windows 11.

To keep the same experience as much as possible, I want to use the mounted SSD as the main system disk to replace the default installation of Ubuntu in WSLg.

Is that possible?

I have tried chroot into the SSD in WSLg and successfully ran some CLI software. But it failed to launch all those GUI applications like Jetbrains IDEs.

What's more, after migration, I wish I could still boot into the same physical Ubuntu system using the same SSD when needed.
