Don't want to be that guy, but honestly, what you are describing is exactly what Linux has to offer. Its a modern OS with modern tools unlike ReactOS, and its only downside is that it is not compatible with all Windows software, which you seem to be okay with. I recommend you give Linux a try, specifically Linux Mint.[0]

Desktop system is also easy to install via DarkMate[0] on vanilla FreeBSD or then go to e.g. GhostBSD[1] that has all the bells and whistles from GUI installation onwards.

But it doesn't have the same driver or virtualization support Linux has. I haven't tried any of the BSDs on a laptop for about 4 years but power management was abysmal then.
