An open-source Windows alternative you've probably never heard of just got updated
ReactOS, a little-known open-source Windows alternative, just got its first update in over three years.
Windows can be frustrating, and it's only natural to want an alternative, especially one that isn't tied to Microsoft. That's where ReactOS, an open-source version of Windows that closely resembles the functionality of classic Windows, comes in. After more than three years without a significant update, ReactOS is finally back, with its latest release, ReactOS 0.4.15, now available for download.
