From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oh well...
One day ReactOS will be able to run those just fine while Wine will still not deliver anything usable.
Does ReactOS already support the newest office and Photoshop out of the box!?
MS Office 2021 is garbage but at least 2016 and O365 Home (32-bit) are both silver. The linked Photoshop CC 2023 is also silver. That already seems like an impressive feat by the wine team.
React OS is Windows XP so no it is not supported.
It's probably easier to hack ReactOS/Windows XP to run Office 2021 than do the same in Wine.
I doubt it but you are welcome to try
Yeah, it seems impressive until you actually try to use it and find out that their "silver" is not even close to something you can work with.
Adobe products even when they say Silver you'll get artifacts when moving objects, resizing the window sometimes ends up on a full screen black square and whatnot.
Office 2016 kind of works, poor rendering but works, the thing is that if I only needed Office 2016 features I would survive mostly fine with LibreOffice. I indeed need features from 2019 that wont run properly.
