I guess someone had to ask this... Does it run under WSL?

  Well, no... WSL runs Linux inside Windows. DSL runs Linux inside DOS. So there's no stacking that makes sense here. (I think we're seeing just how confusing the "Subsystem for Linux" naming is. "Foo Subsystem for Linux" sounds like a way to run Foo under Linux, but it's the opposite...)

    Windows -> Dosbox -> DSL -> Wine?

      We have to go deeper.

        There was a video where someone was running a firefox browser inside another browser using wasm. It was presented as a wacky "future history" talk... I can't find it in my watch history

          You're thinking of this: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death-of-javascript https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death... at about 13:10.

    > I think we're seeing just how confusing the "Subsystem for Linux" naming is. Indeed. > a way to run Foo under Linux "Under" is also confusing since "run X under Y" means the same as "run X on Y" even though it's the opposite analogy. I suggest everyone stick to "X on Y", e.g. Linux on DOS.
