alt Hacker NewsWine for Amiga is as confusing as Windows Subsystem for Linux. I thought it would be a port of Wine for the Amiga but it's instead something to run Amiga software on PC.

IIRC Amiga Forever by Cloanto already did something similar?

Being preceded by “virtual AmigaOS runtime”, I somehow had no trouble understanding it.

I guess a better description would be “Wine for Amiga software”.
It also makes even less sense than the Wine name. "Wine is not an emulator" - but it is! It's an API emulator, not an instruction set emulator. "Wine for Amiga" is an emulator in both senses.
