From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Seems like popping open WSL in a Windows VM running inside a Linux host
It is more like creating a Linux kernel deigned to run only WINE.
This project does exactly that, it runs a reimplementation of linux specifically to run wine on platforms that it doesn't natively support. https://github.com/danoon2/Boxedwine
