ReactOS is a free and open-source operating system based on the best design principles found in the Windows NT architecture. Written completely from scratch, ReactOS is not a Linux-based system and it shares none of the UNIX architecture. The main goal of the ReactOS project is to provide an operating system which is binary compatible with Windows. This will allow Windows applications and drivers to run as they would on a Windows system. Additionally, the look and feel of the Windows operating system is used, such that people accustomed to the familiar user interface of Windows would find using ReactOS straightforward. The ultimate goal of ReactOS is to allow people to use it as an alternative to Windows without the need to change software they are used to.

Back In Time is a GPL-2.0-licensed backup tool based on rsync and written in Python. It has both graphical and command-line interfaces, and supports backups to local disks or over SSH. Back In Time was originally written by Oprea Dan and released in 2009. The tool has been through some rough patches over the years, and is currently on its third set of maintainers. Christian Buhtz, one of the current maintainers, explained to me how he and his co-maintainers had revived the project, as well as why he thought Back In Time stood out from all of the existing backup solutions.

Fedora Linux, as a rule, handles version upgrades reasonably well. However, there are times when users may want to do a fresh installation rather than an upgrade but preserve existing users and data under /home. This is a scenario that the Fedora installer, currently, does not address. Users can maintain a separate /home partition, of course, but the installer does not incorporate existing users into the new install—that is an exercise left to the user to handle. One solution might be to use systemd-homed, a systemd service for managing users and home directories. However, a discussion proposing the use systemd-homed as part of Fedora installation uncovered some hurdles, such as trying to blend its approach to managing users with tools that centralize user management.
