Would it be possible to change the homepage of Owl at
https://owlink.org/code/
to say

OWL is a an open implementation of the Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) protocol written in C. It currently runs on Linux** and macOS and requires a Wi-Fi card with support for monitor mode and frame injection.

With a footnote at the bottom like so

** Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) not supported at this time.

That way it's clearer that you mean an installation of Linux and not an instance of Linux running on WSL.

I spent a bunch of time trying OWL in WSL only to discover WSL is not supported :( Perhaps future developers can avoid this.
