Helli everyone,
just saw the news.

DOS Subsystem for Linux
A WSL alternative for users who prefer an MS-DOS environment. DOS Subsystem for Linux integrates a real Linux environment into MS-DOS systems, allowing users to make use of both DOS and Linux applications from the DOS command prompt.
This makes me
a) wonder if anyone already tried it
b) wonder why things have to be named this way nowadays.
I mean, by 90s definition a "DOS subsystem" is a subsystem containing DOS or providing DOS compatibility.
Rather than a subsystem that runs on DOS.
The same brain twisted approach can be found in "Windows Subsystem for Linux" essentially (WSL).
Traditionally, this would have been called "Linux Subsystem on Windows" rather or "Linux on Windows" (LoW).
But apparently, it's now fashion that things are named upside-down. Kids, such trivial things make me feel I'm getting old. 😭
