Already exists, just not to the normies. IoT LTSC. Works like a charm and no bloat.

It will also miss feature upgrades and so can be slower than the main distribution. It's probably fine if you don't play games.

> WSL 1 was relatively innovative, integrating Linux application compatibility into the Windows operating system itself Both FreeBSD and Illumos were running Linux applications (at various levels of compatibility) many years prior to wsl v1. Joyent even went as far as re-implementing the Docker api to allow running OCI images natively in LX zones. Hence, it wasn't even that novel of an idea.

That’s arguably an easy task though because there is more commonality due to POSIX. But there are plenty of examples of compatibility layers like this throughout computing history. WINE, cygwin, Linux compat, etc. Microsoft even went down this road already in the 80s with Xenix before abandoning the idea of Unix. The only novel part of WSL was the marketing folks
