The registry trick came with caveats, though. Third-party SSD management tools like Samsung Magician and Western Digital Dashboard were not compatible with the new driver, and BitLocker could trigger recovery prompts after the driver swap.

    ReactOS is windows. Here’s their front page blurb:

    “Imagine running your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an open-source environment you can trust. That’s the mission of ReactOS!”

    It’s not Linux, specifically. Its not Linux under the hood, it’s written to be windows without microsoft.

    Haven’t tried it myself, but its definitely worth a try if you’ve been using Linux that long and its just not for you.

      I tried installing it a year ago. It wouldn’t install for some reason.

      Maybe I’ll try again. Maybe their newest version has bug fixes.
