WSL9x lets you run a modern Linux kernel 6.19 inside Windows 9x without needing virtualization.

      @anon_8675309
      Never messed with #WSL, does it give you the capability run a full-on WM the way we could with #cygwin? I used to use it to run #enlightenment on my #Windows computer at work.

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.
