Maybe you mean the opposite to wine? The 1st WSL (called V1) was a sort of simulation of the Linux terminal, but wasn’t too compatible. The current version (V2) is a full virtual machine that kind of shares the network and file system automatically, so it can run basically any Linux command line tool.
