It would be great if it actually worked. Took longer for them to add sound support than for me to ditch windows and learn to use Ganoo/Linux with the same level of comfort...

Formidable effort though, the reactos devs have my repect.

buggier than fucking XP and no software and vidya

Every time I use the damn thing it either hangs or bluescreens.

ReactOS is a huge failure, they have not even caught up to WinXP and it has been obsolete for years, the developers of ReactOS should leave and go get a real job, i hear Mcdonalds is hiring

Pretty awesome effort. Has accelerated considerably in the last few years.

Still useless due to basic functionality broken or missing, but I do estimate it'll have some uses within a couple year.

Because Solus exists and has steam for games.

Fuck off kevinnet

I know the two projects share a lot, but I would prefer they concentrated their efforts entirely on Wine. The initial goal of providing a free replacement for Windows from the ground up is ever increasingly unfeasible.

Unrelated: can anyone explain to me the Solus meme?

I want to learn programming just to contribute to ROS

Because they're cucks. They should just steal all the windows source codes without worrying about lawsuits. Rebuilding from scratch is a terrible idea, they're a small team not an entire company so there's no way for ReactOS to become relevant any more than Windows XP in near future.

They clearly don't have the resources or developers needed to make it amount to something. It's like a buggy version of Windows ME and this has been the case for a very long time.

And even if they were to catch up with Windows XP today.. what would be the point?

If you really do want to run some ancient win32 binary and absolutely don't want Windows then you're actually much better off using GNU/Linux and WINE (see pic related, Windows program running under GNU/Linux with WINE).

There was a sichism beatween the devs about that, that was ime ago and I dunno how that went but seems that the people who tried to dessamble windows didn't went far.

>>57648662
React devs will tell you Linux is not the answer, generally with the same concerns that normies have.

Very impressive project. The lead developer gives talks every so often that are interesting to listen to, so that lands more respect for the project from me.

Mind linking us to one?
