Maybe you mean the opposite to wine? The 1st WSL (called V1) was a sort of simulation of the Linux terminal, but wasn’t too compatible. The current version (V2) is a full virtual machine that kind of shares the network and file system automatically, so it can run basically any Linux command line tool.
The name of that thing is so confusing. It’s an alternative to wine, right?
Nope, it uses the MS hypervisor to run a VM of Linux with a deep filesystem and networking integration
So it’s like Wine but worse.
And for Linux instead of Windows.
