> Are there any HN readers here that use MINIX or possibly another OS that does not have the Linux kernel?

Like... Windows?

To be fair, Windows has the Linux kernel (WSL 2).

It's just a compatibility layer satisfying the kernel API (= syscalls). It's an API on top of the Windows kernel.

That's WSL 1 you're thinking about.

Crazy, wsan't aware of this. I stand corrected

Wsl2 has complete kernel not just syscall translation

Which is basically a VM. It's not that the Windows kernel isn't running even when using WSL.
