      It’s only the debloated basic OS as is, without any Windows services, if you want some, like updates, UWPs and so, you must add it by hand. It’s all described in the homepage. Another alternative is ReactOS. ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft® Windows™ NT family of operating systems- There is also ReviOS, ReviOS aspires to re-create what Windows as an operating system should have been - easy and simple (also FOSS). All other OS are Linux, Unix or BSD distros, not natively compatible with Windows apps.

          Yes, certainly, but a lot of users can’t use Linux for several reasons.

          • certain Professionals
          • Users which need to use dedicated Companysoft for Work
          • Gamers
          • Impaired and Blind People, because of an crappy support on Linux.

          Dual boot can be an solution, but also don’t make sense if the user have to use mostly Windows., with these the only solution is an OS compatible without the MS crap, as named before. Linux is certainly better in much aspects as Windows, but by far not in all.
