In this old article I posted years ago: Great News: Wine Runs on Windows Subsystem for Linux
I notice that the original article is no longer on the intarweb tubes. Maybe in the internet archive, but that might not be long for the world.
I had found this article instead:
Wine on Windows lets you run Windows apps… on Windows (through Windows Subsystem for Linux)
Wine is a compatibility layer that makes it possible to run some Windows applications on non-Windows operating systems including Linux and macOS.
So naturally some folks have been trying for years to see if they could run Wine on Windows for no particularly good reason.
Up until recently it hasn’t really been possible. Now it is.
So I was going to add a reply to my original ancient SN article, but it appears it is no longer possible to reply to either the article or any of its comments.
How would the vast hoardes and masses of people who use WINE on WSL on Windows be informed of updates? Horrors!

liken or linke. are more useful contextually and would not need correcting.

I was thinking I would need a new 'liker' to replace my linker.
While Republicans can get over Trump's sexual assaults, affairs, and vulgarity; they cannot get over Obama being black.
