ReactOS is a hobby project at best with little to no real world applications.

Until Russia decides to actually put some funding into this, React will not get off the ground.

Why would he promote alpha software that can't even handle gpu drivers for gaming, when linux+wine exist?

What's the point of recreating Windows XP or 7 when those can be downloaded for free anyways running all the required applications from the get go? It's a waste of effort, they should probably focus on making a good alternative to Photoshop or something. Plenty of venues to actually get people to use Linux for a change.

>>59364463
To use SteamOS or Linux based OS, you need to have skills, so already now SteamOS have already forgotten everything, almost no one of the new developers does the game (Vulkan) and the applications for SteamOS. ReactOS is just like Windows and will support all the drivers, applications and games from Windows.

>>59364279

Windows XP is no longer supported, on Windows 7 it will soon cease to be supported. This means that anyone can put any virus or trojan into your system.

As far as ReactOS open source, it can be supported as many as you like. Can also add any modern features.

>>59364651
>This means that anyone can put any virus or trojan into your system.

They can't if the user ses Common Sense antivirus.

>>59364321
omg, why would you test games on a VM? Even playing games on a Windows VM is suffering (well, or at least it was)

Testing games should be done on a real machine where you can get realistic results.

>>59364489
i think it's always been a legal gray area. the only reason they're ignored is because no one uses it. reverse engineering in itself isn't illegal, but let's say you reverse engineer a process or module that contains a patent, then you could be sued for patent violation. it would be easy to prove since the charter of the project is to "be win32 compatible".

>>59364367
Windows will not stop supporting the biggest platform for digital games on PC you fucking delusional faggot.

100% compatibility can be done if there is money for development.

On Linux 1% of PC users are sitting, this means that there is something wrong in it, it is difficult for most users. I've used Debian and Ubuntu with XFCE, these are good operating systems.

Antiviruses stop supporting unsupported wasps and also if the vulnerability is deep in the system, then the antivirus will not help.

>>59364321
Great. so it runs much worse than the already existing and quite properly running alternative WINE. why would anyone bother then? ReactOS seems to be windows without any of the benefits of windows.

>>59364703
In many countries, research and development is permitted, for example, in Russia. In Russia have not registered this patent. In other European countries like too it is possible.

>>59364728
Sorry, but we will never have 100% compatibility. Some programs rely on obscure workarounds which wont work in reactos
Linux is stable and usable, and supports most hardware without problems. We just need to make a really user friendly distribution.

>>59364691
FPS is not so important, it's important that it runs and works, compatibility check. Testing the speed of work will be at the very end of development.

>>59364751
ReactOS will be fully compatible, this is the main goal. 100% compatible with drivers and applications. This can be done, since everything is being developed completely. Service support and stuff.

>>59364788
I still think that if you are serious, why not get a real machine with ReactOS that you have just for that.

You should get better compatibility as well, a VM isn't 100% faithful, ever.

>Maybe they weren't sure what to say for legal or business reasons.

Most likely legal reasons.

If ReactOS actually starts taking revenues away from Microsoft, they will assemble a huge team of the most aggressive asshole lawyers money can buy, go out there and find out who is in control of ReactOS and who is funding it, and then sue the motherfucking shit out of all of them. The longer they can drag out the process, the better. It makes no difference whether Microsoft has a valid case against ReactOS -- the lawyers will pretend to be deliberately obtuse about ReactOS's legal rights and focus all their energies on irrelevant legal arguments. Microsoft will use the whole thing as an opportunity to spread every conceivable kind of innuendo against ReactOS, enough so that a judge is forced to pay attention to the innuendo even if there's no substance behind any of it.

>>59364489
>ReactOS does not violate anyone's,

You better believe that ReactOS violates Microsoft's rights. Microsoft paid a huge amount of money in legal fees to file all kinds of patents on various ideas used in Windows. It will be trivial to find lots of cases where ReactOS violates those patents, and Microsoft will fight hard against ReactOS if it ever gets popular enough to start impacting Microsoft's revenue stream.

That's because they hired a trillion pajeets that did a summer course in programming that taught them how to post on Stackoverflow.

This is the reason Windows 10 is filled with a quadrillion different inconsistent UI styles and facets.
They've literally built Windows 10 on top of Windows 8.1 on top of 8 on 7 on Vista.
It's a hack of an OS that gets more hacky with each update.
At least XP and previous were CHANGED each version. They kept some sense of continuity. Well, if you ignore the new XP theme which was shit, but everything else was consistent in UI.

Nobody actually changes shit because they literally don't have a fucking clue how any of it works.
DLLs that have been untouched since the days of Jesus Christ.
The most significant changes in that codebase were, obviously Vista (it started it), and 7. It stopped at 7 and from then on it has been hacks on hacks on hacks.
Windows 8 onwards is a conflict of 2 Operating Systems, 1 of which has no actual developers for, the other having shit-tier poo-in-the-loos developing.

The NT kernel has actually had alot of under the hood work done to it since Windows 7 its alot more slim and trim (can fit in 128mb of ram) and has been "modernized" to handle things like thunderbolt and the such.
The UI still is a hacked together mess which is almost a blessing since you can still used the normal control panel among other things

>>59364279
>but Linux is not compatible with some hardware

That's a rather funny argument, almost everything works just fine with GNU/Linux. The exceptions are rare.

ReactOS finally managed to get printing working over parallel ports. This "news" gave me one big question-mark. Why would they prioritize this instead of general USB support?

Yes, yes, ReactOS is a great idea, sure, but it's been in development for years and years and it still lacks the most basic hardware-support. It doesn't seem to go anywhere.

I don't use Windows or Windows software personally and this probably affects my judgement, but here it is: Support WINE if Windows software is important to you. If you want to run some piece of Windows software and not use Windows right now then you'll probably be able to do that with WINE under GNU/Linux but you're not going to be able to do it with ReactOS any time soon.

I know, it's not what you want to hear but it's the simple truth.

>>59364367
>I wrote emails to Valve, about running Dota 2 and HL2 on ReactOS
Value already settled on GNU/Linux for their SteamOS.

>>59364531
Exactly.

>>59364771
>We just need to make a really user friendly distribution.
This wouldn't matter, not unless you by this mean "included when you buy it". This may appear strange to /g/ but something like 80% of all Android users never install a single app on their phones. I am not sure what the number is for Windows but I expect it's quite similar. The vast majority will simply use the OS and software that comes pre-installed.

>>59364494
>For Russia and other non-US aligned countries, that's the point, they want to be able to have a decently supported OS that'll their old software on their old computers without having US backdoors or other unprotected exploits.
Microsoft provides the source code for the russian government since 90s, for reading and checking if the build is reproducible.

You can write a simple os from scratch, with your own functionality, but to make it compatible with Linux it takes a lot of time, and to make compatibility with closed Windows, you need many times more. One you will not write anything other than simple os.

>using literally wine with a shitty and broken kernel with no support
ReactOS is a dead end, Linux works on everything nowadays and is way more stable, plus it has better compatibility with Windows software as it receives Wine updates, while ReactOS lacks a proper update platform AFAIK.

ffs even FreeBSD or OpenBSD with Wine works better than this shit.

>>59367187
Kickstarter already tried, but the project manager made the wrong move and instead of collecting on ReactOS wanted to assemble to a commercial distribution for companies and eventually failed.

Personally, I want to see open source Windows, which will support any Windows drivers (2003 / XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10), any applications and any games. Any technology, Vulkan, any file systems. This is possible only in open source Windows.

Microsoft closes system support and forcibly forces to switch to shit, makes new DirectX standards (which is worse, for example, fps in DX12 is worse than DX11 fps), new driver standards, old hardware stops working and so on.

She make touch interface for pc, added NSA spyware and stuff like shit.

Windows XP is not supported, although for personal computers without games it is ideal! Any modern features can be added to it. Windows 7 will soon stop supporting.

>>59369082
Do you have any better ideas? Offer.

>>59369192
>Nice bait, as anyone can do that with ANY operating system
Yes, but the developers will fix the problems and send updates. On Windows XP, no one will ever send anything. Soon they will stop sending to Windows 7. Only WIndows 10 NSA Edition will remain. Then we are forced to switch to Windows 11 Cloud for slaves.

VM is better for testing, since you can easily switch OS's (even different versions of same OS) without any fears of cross-contamination, and make frequent restore points of the system state.

Tell your goddamn bosses to begin implementing useful stuff instead of devoting massive amount of man-hours on parallel port printing, retard

>>59373870
Define useful

>>59365646
>ReactOS finally managed to get printing working over parallel ports. This "news" gave me one big question-mark. Why would they prioritize this instead of general USB support?

Because it's trivial to get parallel ports working. USB is a vastly more complicated protocol.

They're working on easy things they can do first, and saving the hard stuff for later.

reactos is probably older than some of the people in this thread (began 21 years ago)
don't expect to be able to replace windows any time soon with it

I want to like reactos I really do but it's a joke, it's the windows equivalent of hurd

>>59375026
it's a joke only if you look at it as a general windows replacement
as a repository of publicly available source code and documentation regarding windows internals, it's the best thing out there

>>59375065
did you really just say that?
>it's only a joke if you look at it as what it's meant to be
I mean I get that it's the source of wine, and it's done some useful things but it's possible to be useful and still be a joke if you can't meet your stated purpose

>>59364589
so there are two paths here:
1. Complete ReactOS development

2. Fix Linux so it is user friendly.

Which do you choose?

Protip 2 is already done, steamos is very easy if you don't want to get in the nitty gritty. And if you do, it's far less quirky than windows. The rest will come in time.

>2. Fix Linux so it is user friendly.
It's impossible because everything is developed as a separate part

>literally a collection of third party software non of which fits together nicely

>>59375694
windows is where its at

easy as pie and it works

>>59376115
i find linux easier to work with

If it gained traction it would be crushed by MS parents....

Just another hobbyist project desu, if you think otherwise you're either too young or stupid

does it get viruses too?

I prefer Linux with a classic theme. Add wine and you've got more hardware support and functionality than ReactOS could ever dream of

Probably as good a thread as any other to ask this, but is there a distro that, for lack of a better word, emulates 3.1? I miss that style.

>>59373599
ReactOS supports a bunch of languages, information have on wikis in different languages, the official site in English.

>>59373870
While the developers do what they want, because there is no money, everyone does what can, then what is interesting, since there is no money.

>>59376887
It will be possible to make a built-in sandbox, which will still be compatible, but will isolate all malicious programs. As already does the "sandboxie" application.

Thanks for the laff, Ivan. Go to bed now. You're drunk.

All that was needed was to make a WinXP Classic skin for linux and dump a little dev help into WINE to improve it. But, vodka nigger logic: let's try a project that takes 20 times the effort and monies to achieve less than half as much performance and functionality while riddling it with bugs, malware and Rossia botnet.

What's the endgame here? Get trump to use it as voting software in elections around the world?

Foreign governments might take an interest. Russia uses an Arch fork for its military but im sure they would rather run this.

I am admin in local hospital, that use ancient windows xp software.
the amount of costly gov infrastrucutre that uses win 7/xp is astonishing. And often rewrite is costly and without a reason

If you can't defeat it, then make a clone of it.

What do you mean?

>>59364279
so will it support adobe photoshop, premiere pro, fl studio (or ableton) and games all pirated?

>>59385700
yes, all windows program, drivers, games. At first XP/2003, in future add drivers, program and games - Windows 7

Tell me when it's ready. Now I have regular Windows 7.

So fucking slow, but I'm actually impressed it ran at all.

>>59385985
If you get a million euros, then in 1-2 years you can make a stable OS and compatibility with 2003 / XP, and then for another year compatibility with Windows 7.

But we need to find this money, I do not know where else i can write.

I would, but you would need to murder most of the Linux community before they listened to an outside opinion.

>>59386095
in 2019 windows 7 will stop supporting and you will go to Windows 10 or any schoolboy will hack your pc.

does it have DX12?

>>59383764
WINE is better at Windowsing than Windows itself is though.

>>59373870
They need to fix the memory manager, first.

>>59387204
If wine does not have it then Reactos does not have it

>>59387204
Why? Nobody uses DX12. Having DX11 compatibility is more important.
