WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I think it that case you would like FreeBSD (if you really dont want to use win macos or linux distros). It supports linux binaries and a LOT of linux apps are ported to it (like vscode). Its hard to set it up at first (installing a DE, firmware, setup audio, etc) but it has an awesome community and a script to set it up for daily use called desktop-installer. It has a decent package manager called pkg thats very easy to use and the freebsd ports collection which makes building from source very easy.
While https://reactos.org/ aims to make a fast, classic-style windows desktop emulant, it's not Ready for Prime Time. Among the list of desktop alternatives after Linux, Windows and Mac - which will be a small list - I think they're one of the more 'ready' ones, though. I'd love to learn about some more as my parents' computers all age out of win10 and need something else.
