Why more monoculture? The Linux driver situation is already bad enough, but it is even more terrible that it's practically the ONLY operating system which has some hardware support.

I support alternative open source OSs as much as I can, but monoculture or not, using ReactOS for business - especially connected to the internet - is asking for problems. Turns out that's not the intention anyways. There is plenty of Linux-certified hardware as well as support plans.

What is the Linux driver situation and how is it bad in ways that other non-Windows FOSS OSes would be able to mitigate?

  Linux does not have a stable ABI for drivers. Presumably ReactOS uses Windows driver ABI, so you can just use Windows drivers?

    That is the goal. In practice, that does not work yet.
