Why not just invest in Wine?

• gdulli 1y ago
  I use Linux daily as a server/VM and hate using Windows as a server, but I've never been happy enough with alternatives to Windows as a desktop when I've tried them.

  Why even do that? I don't want a better Windows than Windows so I can run Windows programs on my not-Windows computer. I want Linux software, instead. (I'm old enough to have once had a "better Windows than Windows" experience, with OS/2 Warp -- ~30 years ago. It was a very nice system that completely failed to thrive, with many back then blaming its quite good Windows compatibility for that failure.)

  Or ReactOS...

    If AI had 1/10 of the promise it's marketed to have, I'd have faith in react OS actually catching up.

  Wine won‘t give you a full Windows GUI / desktop environment. That’s the main draw for using Windows non-professionally, besides gaming and the software/hardware ecosystem.
