So, I want to signal flare a project @hikari@social.noyu.me is spinning up. I'd summarize this project as:
• Try ReactOS again, but with Linux+Wine instead of the ReactOS kernel.
You might have heard of ReactOS long ago— it's a project to make a Windows-API-compatible GPLed operating system. It promptly rabbitholed on writing a kernel, which was never finished (as of 2025 no SMP)
However, Wine is now sophisticated and in SteamOS can run most commercial games.
Why not replicate that for desktop apps?

@mcc@mastodon.social @hikari@social.noyu.me I thought the explicit goal of ReactOS was being driver compatible?
