I can't cite a source but I read once that the lawyers got involved and said Microsoft/Windows/some other term they have legal control of had to be the first word.

Lawyers, they fuck up everything.

What's the difference between a lawyer and a hooker? A hooker stops fucking you when you're dead.

I suppose it becomes a product name instead of a tech description.

Then why not call it "Windows subsystem of Linux"? Changes the meaning of the sentence completely

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Because it isn't a subsystem of Linux. It is a subsystem in Windows that allows Linux to run as part of Windows.

The windows subsystem gives Linux access to the Windows system.
