I’ll assume you are referring to Windows Subsystem for Linux in Windows 10. It does not run Linux (i.e. a VM) in the background, but is a feature in Windows kernel. Technically the way it works is that Windows kernel allows running certain kinds of Linux binaries by providing same system calls as Linux kernel - so technically it is an interface compatible with Linux kernel, or parts of it.
