GNU/kWindows is a good name for the whole operating system that is being used in these cases. It has been pointed out that the "Windows Subsystem for Linux" is actually one specific piece of this system. As a consequence, to say "I am running the Windows Subsystem for Linux" would be misleading, much as "I'm running Linux" is misleading. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
