God donut.

GNU doesn't define the Linux kernel API. The kernel defines the kernel API. Applications (GNU whatever) use the API. Now Windows implements the API. The Linux kernel API. It doesn't implement GNU API because there is no such thing. See?

Linux kernel is the implementation of the kernel API. You can run Linux applications as long as you have the implementation of the API. Windows has it. Linux kernel has it. GNU doesn't have it. See?



Yeah if anything WSL shows that Linux is what matters. It can also run non-GNU stacks (e.g. Android).


Glibc is also GNU, though. You typically talk through it to kernel interfaces.

And then I posted it for everyone else to see too.


I saw that when I searched, but didn't think it was a thing someone would realistically say. It's a little Ned Flanders.
