The WSL GUI Application Manager is a comprehensive Python library designed to bridge the gap between Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions and the Windows desktop environment. It provides seamless management of GUI applications, desktop themes, and environment configuration for WSL distributions, enabling users to run Linux GUI applications on Windows with native-like integration

Old Code Issues:
Global Variable Dependency: The old code relies on a global variable script which is error-prone.
Poor Error Handling: Uses os.popen which is deprecated and doesn't handle errors well.
Inefficient Path Conversion: The pat_con function uses string splitting and manual reconstruction, which is fragile.
Code Duplication: Multiple functions have similar WSL command execution patterns.
Mixed Responsibilities: Functions like get_apps and get_themes handle both command execution and data parsing.
Poor Logging: Uses print statements and a logger passed in a non-standard way.
Lack of Type Hints: Makes the code harder to understand and maintain.
Inefficient String Parsing: Uses string splitting and indexing which is error-prone.
New Code Improvements:
Object-Oriented Design: Introduced classes for better organization (WSLPathConverter, WSLCommandRunner, WSLApp, WSLManager).
Type Hints: Added type annotations for better code clarity and IDE support.
Error Handling: Uses subprocess.run with proper error handling and timeouts.
Path Handling: Uses pathlib for more robust path conversions.
Logging: Integrated the standard logging module.
Code Reusability: Common operations (like running WSL commands) are encapsulated in reusable classes.
Separation of Concerns: Each class has a single responsibility.
Backward Compatibility: Provided legacy functions that use the new classes.
