Not funny anymore.

It never was supposed to be.

A windows compatible OS is a good idea but it looks more likely to be Linux.

rvz•17m ago

You mean Windows subsystem for Linux.

Having a full Windows desktop with a Linux install saves me from formatting and partitioning into yet another installation mess that Linux still has and choosing a distro while not messing around with display managers or searching around why some apps do not display correctly when connecting to an external monitor.

The best Linux distro is Windows (with WSL).

Note: unrelated to React.

Considerably predates it I think. I’ve followed ReactOS on and off for years, since the early 00s.

Looking at the website, they celebrated their 30th anniversary recently which is pretty impressive.

Nursie•21m ago

Always an interesting project and some great achievements, but it’s hard to see it being more useful than Linux + Wine (or now Proton)

Does anyone use ReactOS in a production-like fashion?
