PaxOS: A FreeBSD-based distro that runs BSD, Linux and Windows in one!

Hello :D
So I wanted to share something I've been working on called PaxOS, a FreeBSD-based distro that attempts to run BSD, Linux and Windows.
I created PaxOS out of curiosity after trying "ReactOS" and I thought: "I wonder if there is a distro or OS that runs three things?" but instead of rewriting the kernel, I used FreeBSD to make PaxOS.
How it works: FreeBSD runs BSD natively, Linux runs through Linuxulator (Debian 13) and Windows runs through Wine.
It is still very early (Version 0.1 Alpha) and I recommend running on Virtual Machine. I just built PaxOS out of curiosity and not a replacement.
Pax comes from Latin, which means peace.
And here is the source code: https://gitlab.com/paxos-project/paxos
Any feedback and thoughts are welcome to me :D

Do you have specific "APPS" for Linux or Windows I can try out. (Even simple games :))

Hello again :D
Thanks for the suggestion ^w^
I did some tests on my own
Windows via Wine 11: Tux Paint (runs smoothly even on Virtual Machine), SuperTux (well 1 FPS due to VirtualBox limitations, the audio is smooth!)
Linux though Linuxulator: Tux Paint (has issues because it can't find a display and cannot create files), fastfetch (runs well!)
For my suggestion to your question
For Windows "APPS" (Wine): You can try running FreedroidRPG and, if you want, 7-Zip too.
For Linux "APPS" (Linuxulator): You can try running cowsay, lolcat and ninvaders (this can all be found in the Debian repo)
Right now, I'm planning to install shell (sh) that does automatic installation in 0.2 version alpha.
Any feedback helps PaxOS <3
