Re: WSL on windows 10 mesa version on Debian 10

Mesa 18 and up does indeed support OpenGL 4.5, however, the software 
renderer (llvmpipe) in Mesa only supports GL 3.3.  However, in the 
upcoming Mesa 20.2 release, llvmpipe should support GL 4.5.

Though do note that software rendering is generally quote slow, anything 
even beyond very basic use cases should generally use hardware rendering 
whenever possible.
