      ReactOS collaborates with projects like Wine; you would arguably not have Proton without it (or at least not as useful). The process of building ReactOS itself is useful to the FOSS ecosystem perhaps more than the finished “product”.

      Good thing the details aren’t actually details. It’s a super short Tweet by ReactOS with celebratory screenshot and the acknowledgement that it still has bugs and crashes you wouldn’t get on actual Windows. That’s genuinely it.

    This will be an essential part of industry quite soon. It all runs on old versions of windows and having a compatible, supported runtime will be invaluable.
