    between DOSBox, ReactOS, Bazzite and Linux with WINE

    Assuming it does work, how are you going to explain that to Joe Enduser that knows nothing about any of this? I actually don’t even know what ReactOS nor Bazzite are (though I’ve heard the names) and I’m a software engineer for a living and have linux on some of my systems. I think the helpdesk budget would certainly increase. I’m not sure how much of this is solvable with certain strict machine images.

      ReactOS is essentially a ground-up reimplementation of Windows XP.

      Joe Enduser doesn’t really know anything about Windows either, so the help desk shouldn’t have any issues.

      Plus, as we already established, Joe Enduser will do just fine with Chrome wherever it’s running; those specialized OSes are for specialized tools run by specialists.
