Linux on Windows, i.e. WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) is not a VM - it's a separate system compatibility layer, somewhat akin to what MS SQL Server does to abstract away to OS to also be able to run on Linux now.

The parent may very well have been referring to Linux on Windows, in the form of a Linux VM. They didn't mention WSL at all.
