WSL 1 is not capable of running all Linux software, such as 32-bit binaries, [41] [42] or those that require specific Linux kernel services not implemented in WSL. Due to a total lack of Linux in WSL 1, kernel modules, such as device drivers, cannot be run. WSL 2, however, makes use of live virtualized Linux kernel instances.
Universal USB Installer (UUI) is an open-source live Linux USB flash drive creation software. It allows users to create a bootable live USB flash drive using an ISO image from a supported Linux distribution, antivirus utility, system tool, or Microsoft Windows installer.

NTLDR is typically run from the primary storage device, but it can also run from portable storage devices such as a CD-ROM, USB flash drive, or floppy disk. NTLDR can also load a non NT-based operating system given the appropriate boot sector in a file.
Retrogaming is the playing of older games [284] using emulators such as MAME or Dosbox, [285] compatibility layers such as Wine and Proton, [286] engine reimplementations and source ports, [287] or even older Linux distributions (including live CDs and live USB, or virtual machines), [288] [289] original binaries, [290] and period hardware.
Wayland is a communication protocol that specifies the communication between a display server and its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol. [9] A display server using the Wayland protocol is called a Wayland compositor, because it additionally performs the task of a compositing window manager.
