Why is there no support for windows programs in Linux?

Question

linux

Hello.

Why not add support for PE (Portable Executable) programs in Linux? I mean without Wine, to run the kernel itself.

And how to do this - you can advise literature, articles, etc. on the topic of the Linux kernel, PE executables and how to combine all this?

Answer 1

Because Linux has its own executable file format: ELF. Linux is a standalone Unix-like operating system with no intention of replicating Windows features or being binary compatible with Windows. If you want an open OS that replicates the functionality of Windows, take a look at ReactOS .

Answer 2

Because it is tantamount to writing an OS from scratch.
Why is this needed if there is already an OS that runs PE?

Answer 3

And what would be the point of this, if without WinAPI these programs still won't work?

Answer 4
