Linux doesn't work for most people, and Windows and Mac are corporate. I hope ReactOS succeeds.

I mean I wish them the best, but they've been chasing Windows for decades, at what point exactly is this "success" to be measured?

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

When they're successful, it will be a good day. For now, it's all about having fun with the journey.

Surely contributing to Wine and running their windows apps on Linux would yield better faster results than re-implement Windows from scratch. I don't quite see who the target audience is

If it does, a corporation will buy and use it

[–] orphiebaby@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

It's FOSS. I'd imagine people would fork it, because fuck it

No, they won't.

The value in Windows is no longer Windows. The cost of Windows license to a business is trivial. It's all the associated services. Office, teams, SharePoint, active directory, Outlook. And the ecosystems and support that exist for them all.

Any realistic business that tries to be competitive by not paying for Windows licenses and instead buying this, is utterly delusional.

I agree with you, an open-source OS that could run anything Windows-related would probably be preferable for the average user over switching to something completely new and hoping you can find a workaround or compatibility layer, simply because it's a lot more work. If ReactOS had been around and on par with Linux 20 years ago (oh gosh I'm that old...), I probably would've gone with that on the old PowerBook my grandma gave me rather than Ubuntu, just because I'd been using Windows. At the time, installing Ubuntu was, while the easiest way to get Linux, still not very easy, and I did bork the first hard drive. That said, I don't regret my decision, and I probably wouldn't ever go back to Windows, but I might still give ReactOS a try!
