I haven't really looked into ReactOS, but I just read some more about it [1], and I'm starting to get interested. There's still not a lot of software for Linux, but there's a ton of software for Windows. I also don't really care about the price of the Windows license, but I really like that the source code is available, and that I would be able to fix any bugs and submit a pull request. Having said that, I don't recall ever noticing a single bug in Windows, and I used it for more than 10 years. Definitely a lot of security holes though (i.e. viruses.)
Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever have a practical reason to use this or contribute to it. I use Windows 10 to develop apps, and sometimes to play a couple of games on Steam, so I think I'll always need to be running the latest version of Windows.
