Sometimes I wonder why every single release of ReactOS seems to make the front page of HN. Then I'm quickly reminded of how well-written, interesting and detailed the release notes are. It's like reading through an adventure story where the contributors are heroes. More open source projects should have this.

I agree other FOSS operating systems should get the same coverage as ReactOS.

  I suppose it's because ReactOS is replicating Windows, that is, it awakens fond memories of old activists (times when MSWin was the private enemy number one). Nowadays, I guess the new activist would be more bothered by something that can replace Android (or Apple for extra kudo).

My hypothesis is that some people blindly upvote anything that has the word “React” in it.

Every month Dolphin has a progress report doing exactly that. They actually go pretty deep on how they fixed the different issues. https://fr.dolphin-emu.org/blog/2018/07/06/dolphin-progress-report-june-2018/ https://fr.dolphin-emu.org/blog/2018/07/06/dolphin-progress-...
