From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The funny thing here is that Microsoft did a very good job in WSL v1 doing the exact opposite. Unlike Windows apps that run all broken under Wine, running GUI app on WSL worked just fine.

They really did do a good job. The difference is that they have access to documentation about Linux that wine doesn't have about Windows.
