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 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 Hmm but that name also seems confusing. It's a Linux Subsystem for Windows isn't it?

  @dosnostalgic
  So... what desktop environment have you chosen to run on your computer?
  Windows 95.
  Ah, like the XFCE theme, right?

  @dosnostalgic I so desperately want to believe that this is a joke post just to play on "Windows Subsystem for Linux", but I also desperately want this to be real.

  @nico This intergrates Linux while DOS is still running. Loadlin is a proper Linux bootloader, and once you're in Linux, DOS is no longer useable.

  @dosnostalgic I thought that existed many, many, many years ago and was named "dosinux". IIRC, it was the first method to run #Linux from an existing DOS environment, if you could not replace it right away.
