Anybody know why on wsa it says the Linux version if its a Android subsystem?
How much of wsl am I getting when I install crb? Can I use other features of wsl?

Wish they could make one subsystem for Linux and Android? Could you run apks on wsl?

Apk as in Alpine Linux?
Or Android packages?

You’d need to Android emulator (or waydroid, not sure I remember if it’s classified as an emulator or not) to run apks.
