       Has anyone here tried WinApps? App support is quite limited right now, but it looks like it could be a literal "Windows subsystem" for Linux...https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps

       @yee It practically *is* a Linux Subsystem for Linux, especially considering WSL2 is just a Hyper-V VM with tighter OS integration

       @brandon Interesting, thank you for pointing that out. Now the only thing left to do is get MS to change WSL's name to LSW: I have no idea how the former makes sense...

       @yee Because it's a subsystem of Windows, that allows Linux to access WindowsLinux isn't necessarily the subsystem here. It's Windows that has a low-level system

       @brandon I see. Does this description apply to WSL2, though? Since the Linux kernel is running in its own VM here, is it still a subsystem of Windows?

       @yee Since the VM runs on Hyper-V and uses host integration with Hyper-V yes, due to Hyper-V being a subsystem of Windows
