Maybe its not a bad idea to experiment with the tools that lot of people do, so it might help understanding what code it produces. That might be not his original goal, but its a nice side effect I guess.

This sucks. I was waiting for the Nexus Mods to support more games. It was the one hope of having an easy tool to mod games in Linux. The new https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex does not support Linux and they will look how the Linux support could look like in the future... which does not sound promising.
How is this Linux related?
Hopefully this game will come out on Steam too. The blocker seems to be that Steam does not support all modding capabilities of this game. I would be okay with that...
From what I get, it is similar to Minecraft, but the battle is more RPG oriented, including dodging and so on. Also like an RPG it is story driven and has quests and villagers. I never played either games, and it is just what I read about it.
Why do people still pre-order games before release? It's not like a physical object that will be sold out. Just wait until release and look if its good or bad.
No. WSL contains entire operating systems. Embedding a distribution in an operating system doesn't make itself the operating system... The OS is Windows not Linux. I'm not sure if you are trolling or not...
You misunderstood the point of the answer. I already explained why we should count them as Linux.
OK, because you have trouble to understand my reply, here a short one: yes, we should count Android and ChromeOS as Linux. And I explained why. You might not like the answer, but it is what it is.
You said "might" and asked if it should count. I gave you reason why.
It doesn't matter what people "celebrate" (what does that mean?). If the question is if these operating systems are "Linux", then yes, they are. Because they distribute Linux. That's all to it. Just because a system distributes Linux does not mean it is compatible to each other. That is a completely different question, involving other tech and standards.
I am not arguing past that, I answer the question from the reply I answered to.
