    Or how about KDE on ReactOS on WSL?

    The possibilities are endless

        Unfortunately building it was a disaster a few years ago, I should give it another go.

          Why were you trying to build it? You can find both ““stable”” release and nightly builds on ReactOS website.

          ReactOS 0.4.16 was just released, but I do recommend just getting a nightly build, unless it doesn’t work and you have enough patience to try out the regular version as well.
