I don't think WSL counts at all.
> WSL
I think you mean GNU/Windows, or as I've taken to calling it, GNU Plus Windows. (Seriously though, the WSL name is deceptive because it doesn't actually contain any Linux code. There is no Linux in "Windows Subsystem for Linux")

Well not today, but soon it will be GNU/Windows+Linux -- https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/6/18534687/microsoft-windows...

Soon there will be.

WSL 2.0 contains a full Linux kernel.
Yeah but as far as I can tell that doesn't actually exist yet, and isn't scheduled to be available until the end of next month. (Existing inside Microsoft but not publicly is "does not exist" as far as I'm concerned, because I remember all kinds of legendary stuff Microsoft has apparently made but never released.)
WSL!
WSL somewhat annoyingly has a custom/proprietary init system. Partially due to it's "interesting" integration with windows, and partially because it's not even really a full linux system yet.
I'm curious if with the switch to WSL2 where they will begin shipping a full linux kernel if systemd will be included or will they stick with their current custom solution?
