Given enough time, open-source will win. Just think about how more and more people are programming and how that will draw them to open-source.
This is not always the case. Open source projects also die.
We need to improve the funding situation. I have no idea how to do that, but we really need to tackle that problem.

Only if it keeps being relevant for the computing model. Case in point, ReactOS is far behind what Windows 11 is capable of, and this not taking into account the ARM and CoPilot+ PC hardware changes in modern motherboards. It is nonetheless relevant, especially in the presence of escape mechanisms to oppressive governments, and digital sovereignty.
lol I guess, it doesn’t annoy you with endless ads and pop ups, doesn’t try to steal your data and passwords, doesn’t force you to buy an entire new computer just to run it. Far behind indeed.

It's far easier to port ReactOS than Windows to ARM and other new CPU ISAs.

> It is nonetheless relevant, especially in the presence of escape mechanisms to oppressive governments, and digital sovereignty. Not just for that. There's an awful, awful lot of ancient embedded hardware running machinery sometimes worth dozens of millions of dollars, and it's running even more ancient software. Siemens, for example, recently searched for people capable of (and willing to) working with Windows 3.11…
There are millions of Windows 95 embedded in industrial or government machines. Millions.

This is an absolute tangent (a perpendicular one if you will), but I thought the Sagrada Familia is completed: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ceciliarodriguez/2026/06/10/bar... The article talks about construction on the exterior, the cross on the main tower, the Pope's visit and commemoration of the architect, etc. while on the official website the timeline says "Today, more than 140 years after the laying of the corn…
The exterior is done, the interior not yet
The big achievement that happened recently is they completed the towers, so it finally reached its target height. Also the Pope's blessing.

Isn't it funny how such incidents on Linux are rare enough that they make headlines, but on Windows that's been the baseline expected state of things for so long that nobody bats an eye anymore. Btw if you're running an OS that's never had a malware incident, please, tell us!
