I've seen this many times before, now I'm curious to know a lot more about it. How does it run, does all windows software run well, even advanced apps and games (doubt it)! What is the basis? Is it based on Linux? edit: naturally the Wikipedia answered all my questions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReactOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReactOS

It's basically a rewrite of the Windows 2000/XP Kernel space and user space. Then they decided to bring in code from Wine to speed up development.

  I said this in another comment, but I feel like they're missing an opportunity not reaching out to Valve / Steam to work on Proton and integrating that instead. Steam will pay people to work on Proton fixes, so it seems like a no brainer to me.

    Proton is Wine.

    It's very possible that Valve has both taken code from this project & Wine, and hired people that worked on these two projects though.
