WSL =/= running Linux. WSL == a compatibility layer on top of Windows kernel with binaries on top. WSL doesn't contain a single line of code from Linux.

  If you are talking about the Linux kernel, true. If you are talking about "Gnu/Linux" then not.

    Nobody's talking about the GNU part on top of Linux when discussing hardware compatibility because that part has nothing to do with hardware compatibility.

      Nobody’s talking about running Linux (or any OS) just for the hell of it, but for the programs that they need that it can run. And WSL has run everything I’ve thrown at it so far.
