I'm very curious, from a high-level, but technical level, how differently ReactOS and Wine are. And/or how much they share.

As someone who keeps playing Halo Infinite at 120FPS via Proton on a Zephyrus G14 running NixOS, I'm kind of amazed on a daily basis that this is where "Desktop Linux" is. I know that there's a bunch of HNers who used Ubuntu 6 years ago to tell me otherwise, but this is insane. As soon as the HDR kernel patches are rebased on 6.1, I'll have HDR too.

(edit: lul, to be fair, NixOS ships upstream latest kernels, so even latest Ubuntu on this laptop might be a serious step back, but that's what you get for listening to Ubuntu users's take on "Desktop Linux".)

Just bonkers. I'm getting nearly as good of perf for a DirectX 12 modern game on Linux as I am on Windows. Meanwhile, this is all on ZFS, all incrementally backed up, I can restore this entire state of this laptop in about two minutes. Wow, desktop linux haters can hate, but this is still blowing my mind.
