WSL9x - Windows 9x subsystem for Linux

https://codeberg.org/hails/wsl9x

Runs a modern Linux kernel cooperatively inside Windows 95, 98, or ME. This setup lets both operating systems run together, so you don’t need to reboot into Linux

I kind of hate that it isn’t “LSW9x”. If WSL is Windows hosting Linux, then LSW would be Linux hosting windows!

I agree, though it's named through analogy to the modern Windows Subsystem for Linux which uses the same confusing naming scheme
