Why there are a shit ton of linux distros that attempts to be a replacement for windows and fail miserably instead of converge every effort in creating something like react os?

The majority of people don't want to learn linux and are used to windows

That's good for me, if they can't adapt it means my attack surface stays smaller than a Pajeet's brain

emulating windows used to be important when people still used computers

XP source code leaked, why there isn't an open source version of Windows avilable? We have to wait for 7 source code to be leaked?

Because a project like that would get instantly shut down by Microsoft. If anything, the fact that it's out there harms clean-room reverse engineering efforts.

Linux and Windows. Apples and oranges.

Dude, plenty of distros provide a satisfactory Windows-like experience that niggercattle could use to browse the internet and do office work. What's more is that they can operate on way shittier hardware than Windows 11 can. Consoomers and corpos would only need 4GB RAM <$100 shitbooks instead of $1200 machines. They are unironically being milked dry because of Windows bloat and Apple jewishness.

ReactOS is not linux.
Screenshot looks pretty nice, unlike win11.

ReactOS is Wine with syntatic sugar.
Linux is Unix but better.
People don't care for Windows as a OS but as a way to access programs that are only available there, like Office.

Except this is literally the exact opposite of the truth. Contrarian white men with Asperger's are literally the reason we are in this god damn mess.

You are comparing two completely different things. Linux can be an "alternative to Windows" by having programs of its own that satisfy an user's needs. It does not necessarily have to run Windows' own programs. If anything, ReactOS' scope is closer to WINE's.

Remember when ReactOS had to do nothing but audit their entire source?
