Attached: 1 image With Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux you can run all your favourite Windows and Linux apps side-by-side with a modern Linux kernel running cooperatively with the Windows kernel in ring 0. And unlike modern WSL, no hardware virtualisation is used so even your 486 can run it! Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time https://codeberg.org/hails/wsl9x
