Yes, that is a more technically-accurate name. Mike Gerwitz goes into this issue
at more length here:
Gerwitz M. GNU/kWindows. 2016-04-06. https://mikegerwitz.com/2016/04/GNU-kWindows
where he calls it "GNU/kWindows", a name that is shorter and easier to remember.
I suppose another possibility might be "GNU/WSL", though this relies on people
knowing what "WSL" stands for. All these names are more accurate than "Windows
Subsystem for GNU/Linux" would be.
