DOS Subsystem for Linux integrates a real Linux environment into MS-DOS systems, allowing users to make use of both DOS and Linux applications from the DOS command prompt.

@dosnostalgic I propose the next step: Windows 3.1 Subsystem for Linux.

Complete with its own Wayland compositor.

@drq @dosnostalgic I want to see WFW 3.11 running in full resolution on my ultrawide monitor. :)

@poindexter why not?
Interface was rather clean and simple, just apply appropriate scaling, and it'll beat any modern DE :)

@poindexter @drq @dosnostalgic will work just fine (and PROGMAN.EXE will also work in Wine ;) )

@dosnostalgic Reminds me of the very first Linux system I used, Speaker Doom. You unzipped it into its own directory and then ran a DOS command to boot into its ZipSlack-based environment. It contained a variant of Doom for Linux with a PC Speaker driver, which output PCM sound effects through the speaker, slowly. It was a pretty neat hack.

@jab01701mid Doslinux is the other way around. Run Linux programs *in* DOS.

@dosnostalgic So one day, back in the early 1990's, it was my mission to create a program loader and execution environment to run OS/2 programs on DOS, and even X-Windows (Desqview/X) so I get where you are coming from.

@dosnostalgic I have to admit, I did not expect this to be a real thing. That's wild. :)

Finally, my dreams of running cowsay from DOS can be a reality.

@dosnostalgic Very cool, but just like WSL am driven mad by the naming, a DOS subsystem for Linux is dosbox, I have that. This is a Linux subsystem for DOS.
