Windows 95 can now run modern Linux thanks to WSL, and yes, it actually works
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0

You may have seen the headlines about the person who got Doom to run on a pregnancy test, or Doom Eternal on the Gameboy Color, and other weird ports that just shouldn't work. But getting Windows 95 to run a full Linux subsystem may be the most impressive achievement so far.
