The name seems backwards

[csicky]

This is a Linux subsystem for Windows, it allows you to run Linux things on Windows. I installed this WSL just now on Windows. The name should be LSW and when on Linux you install a Windows subsystem that would be WSL.

I probably lack the history behind the backward naming logic, but from where I see it, we could look at Witcher Disc for XBOX or Witcher Disc for PS - so a thing that is meant to be run on another thing. This is how it sounds to me when I read it. I might have some logic problem if both GPT and Claude try to convince me I am seeing it wrong even if they are trained to agree with me so, just close this after reading, it is some kind of curiosity probably.
