One should turn this into a distro – Free10/FreeXP[1]-like base for the UI, with solid Wine integration for Windows compatibility.

Wonder if anyone's ever tried to run linux with only windows apps.

If I may, I doubt current Windows users aim for Windows 95 as a graphical interface :p That's more for hardcore linux users that had good memories on Windows back then.

And the best Linux is WSL.

I completely agree, even if it’s an unpopular opinion.

It's unpopular because it probably only serves hardcore Windows users who happen to need Linux for work - which is a very valid but likely relatively niche cohort.

I'm personally glad they (you?) are served but I suspect for pretty much anyone outside of that cohort, WSL is the worse of both worlds.
