🐧 WSL9x
Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux.

｢ WSL9x runs a modern Linux kernel (6.19 at time of writing) cooperatively inside the Windows 9x kernel, enabling users to take advantage of the full suite of capabilities of both operating systems at the same time, including paging, memory protection, and pre-emptive scheduling. Run all your favourite applications side by side - no rebooting required! ｣

@jbz It runs a user mode linux kernel in a win9x. I am sorry but it is late with 30 years, and it is totally unusable today and it had been harmful 30 years ago (it had installed linux under windows, the other direction was important at the time).

@peterhorvath @jbz You clearly don't understand retrocomputing. Or people. Retrocomputingpeople.
I have hated Windows with a passion since before it was cool, and never became friends with Linux. But this is mind-bendingly cool. And completely useless - which is kinda the point.
