GNU/'Windows Subsystem for Linux'

README.md

These are Taylor Swift's beautiful words; I just put it here for easier copy-pasting.

GNU_WSL.80.txt

What you are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/'Windows Subsystem for
Linux', or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Windows.  Linux is not
an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully
functioning GNU system.  Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU
system every day, without realizing it.  Through a peculiar turn of events, the
version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of
its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system.  There really is
a Linux, but it is just a part of the system they use.  Linux is the kernel: the
program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other
programs that you run.  The kernel is an essential part of an operating system,
but useless by itself.  Linux can only function in the context of a complete
operating system.  Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating
system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux.  All
the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU.  Windows
Subsystem for Linux is not a port of Linux – it reimplements syscalls used by
Linux-compatible applications, but under the NT kernel.  In this way, we see
that Windows 10 completely refutes the idea that the Linux kernel is what
defines GNU/Linux systems.  GNU is the core.
