@Dragonmouth,

You’re right, ReactOS has never been Linux, and its prolonged alpha status raises concerns. After 26 years without a beta, its development pace seems very slow. However, it still holds potential as an open-source Windows alternative for those who are interested in experimenting, though expectations should be tempered.

ReactOS has been in a permanent alpha state since its first release in 1998. Would anyone want to use an operating system that hasn’t reached beta stage in 26 years? There is a better chance of Microsoft basing Windows on the Linux kernel than ReactOS reaching beta, let alone releasing version 1.0.

Why is this important, you may ask? Because I have a triple-monitor set-up and that causes two problems with every Linux distro I’ve tried. When an application window opens, I have to not just grab it from the upper-left corner of the left-most screen and drag it to the monitor where I usually use it, I have to resize the window, too. Do that several times in an hour and it gets old fast.

Does anyone know of a Linux distro (or window manager) that keeps track of window sizes and positions?

I was a little surprised to see it as well, but thank you for sharing those editions. I used RHEL for a long time and switched back to Windows for work a few years back. Lately, Win10 is becoming just too annoying to use daily, so I am on the hunt for a distro again.

I liked Ubuntu before, but after using it for a year or so, I found I wanted more control over things and I want to try a distro I have never used before as well. I think Linux Mint looks tasty at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
