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

Why is this relevant today?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
As someone who very much dislikes the Linux/Unix philosophy, I'm happy to see diversity.
Out of pure curiosity, what do you “very much dislike” about it?

Not yet but it seems like they've finally started working towards that. Driver compatibility has improved dramatically over the last few years, for one.
If they can pass that hurdle + add WDDM, I'd be willing to take another look at them even if application compatibility remains hit and miss.
