I can't be the only one, so WSL = Windows subsystem for Linux.

which, confusingly enough, is a linux subsystem under windows. The name sounds like the opposite.

Really just an English problem. Read it as it is a subsystem by Windows for Linux.

But yeah, LSW would've been more clear. Plus, it's almost LSD.

I think it makes more sense to read that it's a "Windows Subsystem for (running) Linux (applications/programs)".
