They had a version called Corel® Linux based on Debian Sarge, that ran under Wine, well the WordPerfect® application, ran under Wine. I suppose that I was probably the only person, that liked it and, I actually paid cash for my copy. It was a bit quirky, it would freeze sometimes, momentarily and the resolution would do funny things sometimes too. However, for the most part, it worked. This was the time before Linux had any office suites. The time before StarOffice became open sourced. I still have the entire package. Of course it's now obsolete since once Debian upgraded to the new version, the libraries had to be upgraded as well, which left that version of Linux, with a shortened lifespan.
As for your assertion, that Windows may perhaps, one day market a successful Linux distribution, that probably, ironically, sell better and actually start a Linux craze, may be spot on and hilarious to boot. Everything, is mostly half done everywhere, it is the expectation of perfection, that may be man's most defining distraction. Is the Earth, perfect? Can we adapt to coexist with it? I think you see my point. Happiness is being satisfied with the conditions which one truly cannot change. I have yet to suffer any dissatisfaction with using Linux since I know what to expect and also, I can make the changes that I need to make. That's the power of using an OS like that. I have a computer running Windows 11 now and I rarely use it except to ensure that it is properly maintained and updated. Also, I use it to program one of my Ham radios although I'm working on a hack which may make that task unnecessary. As I have been continually stressing, it's the preferences. It's what one is comfortable using and that which one perceives, as being more familiar and to an extent, superior.
