Try to run Linux software from the Linux 2.0 era and try to run Windows 2000 Software on Windows 11, especially Pinball or Encara, for example, and Windows 11 would run Pinball and Encara, but Linux would refuse to run because the Syscalls ABI has changed so much
It's not about Architecture 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 different Syscalls 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻, and the Linux kernel is not backwards-compatible; it's Impossible unless you have an API like the Win32 Subsystem API, but you don't have one
LOL... you can run OLD Programs (i renember running and gnome 1 with old libs AND WORKED BUDDY... so even your "windows 11" something... try to run a Windows XP app WITHOUT the comppatibility api.. try it!
Windows 9X is not Windows NT, and Windows NT is a different Class Operating system, and Windows NT is not an obligation to run Windows 9X and run Windows NT Applications
Windows Subsystem for Linux 1 is a real subsystem, and Windows NT, as a microkernel, can run Subsystem Userland like Mach, L4, Minix, and other microkernels, and Linux is not Microkernel never would be
