Does this mean it runs on Linux or runs on Windows. I can never tell with this MS "subsystem" naming.

WSL was a subsystem to run Linux under Windows 10 without an explicit VM host. It was an Ubuntu Linux version. Later MS released WSL2, complete redesign, still for Windows 10. With Windows 11 the WSL2 also supported GUI programs.
