I know what it means and what way round it is now due to repetition, but WSL struck me as a weird name and confused me at first.
Usually, saying "for Linux" or "for Windows" about something means there's a thing that is for (or "to run on") Linux or Windows, not that the thing is "of" Linux or to enable the use of Linux. I appreciate there are two ways to look at the semantics, but the one they picked for WSL seems the least common one to me.
