i see. sorry about that, i'm not firing on all cylinders...

but my question was (roughly, on my part): is anyone these days even trying to escape the decades-entrenched norms imposed by the dominance of UNIX (the BSDs, and loosely, Linux-derived systems) over personal computing?

typically i would not contemplate this, though i read about WSL1 (the original, failed Linux compatibilty layer Microsoft released), and apparently it really did translate NT and Linux system calls as a thin layer. but then they gave up, and simply used a traditional hypervisor. not even the POSIX subsystem, as that was gutted from NT by the XP era.

it's a silly and mundane question, of course. nobody is escaping UNIX concepts (everything being a file, C, root/SU stuff) and basic commands. still, i thought it was novel regardless of substance.
