I like ReactOS for some reasons which are listed below -

1. Compatibility -It is compatible with Windows applications and drivers. And, our organization windows so we use this freely.

2. Free and Open Source - The best part is it's free.

3. Familiar Interface - It has a good UI.

4. Potential for Customization - As it is open source, we can customize it according to our business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has limited hardware support and sometimes a slow development pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you wish Windows was open source, you should look into ReactOS

Even if it is in alpha stage, it is getting more stable every release. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't open MSI installers, which is a very significant problem. Also, Game Maker Studio games don't open for some reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its most appealing feature is its commitment to be a free and open-source alternative to Windows, making it a potential solution for older hardware or situations where a Windows license is cost-prohibitive. The familiarity it offers for those used to the Windows environment can also be a considerable advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While it aims for Windows compatibility, it doesn’t fully support all applications or drivers, which can be limiting. There are also potential security concerns, given its development stage. The progress, albeit steady, has been slow, and it lacks some modern UI features present in newer Windows versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ReactOS allows us to connect any Windows unit without any special library or program. But the newest thing is the compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 8 apps, compatibility that did not yet exist and that from this version will allow us to install certain applications and typical Windows 10 apps.

I mean if you Linux then it's good for you to use ReactOS if you do not know Linux commands then you will not like to use ReactOS ,so basically ReactOS is based on Linux Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its installation is very easy its can be installed with a mouse click and no cd are required for the installation and also configuration is very fast and system is also clean from junk and separately programs and easy to find and delete junk files and virus.

Basically some systems not to capable this os because its suitable new generation system os so its okay and its security issues are faced every time virus are detected and new software instalation not to easy because its showing the warning message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main distinguishing feature was that it doesn't monitor any of my activities which is the bane of the latest Windows, especially 10 and 11. Plus, it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI leaves a lot to be desired, especially if you are coming from Windows OS. Although it lacks the bells and whistles of Windows, it is still able to run most of the common Windows applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ReactOS is all about the porting of Windows applications to a Linux environment which gives the power of open source and freedom to users. Though the OS is not very much user-friendly, it has powerful options for customization, which makes it rather a better option to choose. If you ask me to choose Windows or ReactOS, I will go with ReactOS, since it is extremely developer-friendly, and I like to work in the development of the OS too.

The UI still looks like decades-old Windows XP. Which is very very bad for a better user experience. We could switch to KDE or GNOME for a better User experience. That would bring the power of Linux + Windows together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
