Microsoft's telemetry features in Windows 10 are a privacy advocate's nightmare. Now that Microsoft is trying to back port these "features" into existing versions of Windows, it seems like many of us have no future upgrade path. Sure there is Linux, but I have some older Windows software that I still want to use. ReactOS is still out there, but does not look like there have been any updates in a while.

Does the Soylent community believe it is possible to get this project going full steam to producing a useable alternative for existing Windows users?

    It may handle software, but are there Linux drivers for the hardware? I have an older MOMO Steering wheel that Logitech made, but I don't know that all of the functions would be supported by Linux, let alone it working with a game installed in WINE. If ReactOS could use the existing Windows drivers, that would be awesome.

    Even under PS2 emulators.

    Force feedback has worked on linux for a number of years, including via emulators.
