ASRock Announces AI QuickSet WSL Run Linux AI Apps on Windows
TAIPEI, Taiwan, 15th September 2025 — ASRock, the global leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, mini-PCs, power supplies, and gaming monitors, today announced AI QuickSet WSL, the second generation of its revolutionary AI installation assistant designed to streamline complex development setups on Windows. This major update empowers users to more easily establish a fully functional Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environment and deploy a suite of AI applications. Significantly, AI QuickSet WSL is built upon AMD’s latest ROCm™ software platform, offering great support for ASRock’s latest AMD Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics cards.
Traditionally, creating a proper AI development environment on Windows involves a multi-step, cumbersome process. Crucially, many cutting-edge AI applications have been developed to run primarily on Linux, posing significant challenges for users trying to operate them effectively on Windows. This barrier to entry can discourage newcomers and consume valuable time for even seasoned developers.
ASRock’s AI QuickSet WSL directly addresses this challenge by automating the entire workflow. Built on the AMD ROCm™ platform for high-performance computing, the tool ensures that the WSL environment is pre-configured for GPU acceleration on ASRock’s latest AMD Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics cards, maximizing performance out of the box. Beyond foundational frameworks like PyTorch (optimized for ROCm™), ASRock’s AI QuickSet WSL comes bundled with several ready-to-use applications. These include Audiocraft for generating novel music from text prompts, Image/Manga Translator for image and manga translation, PixtoonLab for transforming portraits into cartoon avatars, and Video Background Remover & Changer for effortlessly removing or replacing video backgrounds.
ASRock’s AI QuickSet WSL showcases how hardware and software come together to simplify AI development. At VektraPC, we integrate ASRock technology into our systems to ensure that creators, gamers, and professionals can harness the power of AI and next-gen performance straight out of the box.
