    Have you ever used ReactOS? And tried to run something on it? I did, and it wasn’t a pleasant experience

    Yes, I did, multiple times and yes, it isn’t pleasant but Wine isn’t either.

    I doubt that these things will work on ReactOS but won’t on Wine.

    The thing is that there’s already a bunch of stuff that works fine in ReactOS but is still broken in Wine, particularly old Win32 APIs around since Windows 95 that should’ve been fixed by now.

      it isn’t pleasant but Wine isn’t either.

      Yes, but wine in general is simpler. ReactOS isn’t a ‘functional’ system, so you either have a dual-boot or virtual machine. It doesn’t compose well with your main system. Have you tried Bottles? A very simple and good-looking gtk frontend for Wine. They have a powerful default runner: “soda” .

      The thing is that there’s already a bunch of stuff that works fine in ReactOS but is still broken in Wine, particularly old Win32 APIs around since Windows 95 that should’ve been fixed by now.

      I didn’t know that. I used ReactOS very little and was very disappointed with it. Maybe that’s why I have a skewed view. However, some time has passed; maybe it’s better now.

        Yes, I did try bottles and soda with the same results. This is something low level that isn’t properly implemented or implemented at all.
