Really just an English problem. Read it as it is a subsystem by Windows for Linux.

But yeah, LSW would’ve been more clear. Plus, it’s almost LSD.

I think it makes more sense to read that it’s a “Windows Subsystem for (running) Linux (applications/programs)”.

Getting DOS within Linux would be pretty interesting to play with and may get my dad a step closer to abandon windows.
