ReactOS Thread.

>>60457356
Neat, have a bump.

>>60457356
I think the update was pulled even RC that had been released are missing...

Can you actually do anything on it yet?
Last time I tried it, it didn't even support networking.

>>60458037
I does even 0.3.17 does

You just need to use the correct ethernet card

>>60457356
Does the React OS community have a Code of Conduct yet you problematic shitlords?

>>60457356
Who cares if it's out if it's still unuseable?

>>60458898
God I hope not.

>>60458966
People interested in its progress.

does it support DX11?

>>60458898
Yes, we promise to shit on MS but not steal their code.
Teh Edn.

What benefit is there by using ReactOS over Mint ?

>>60457356
Can you install Firefox without a bsod yet?

want to actually use this on bare metal, but i can't think of security holes, how secure is this?

>>60459475
No. They're hoping for DX9 support for the 0.5.0 release.
ReactOS is basically targeting XP, so anything requiring Vista or higher isn't going to happen for a long time.

Can it run the hottest ransomwares that are all the rage among the trendy crowd?

>>60459595
>lol
don't network it or put anything important on it

>>60459614
which means linux is more windows compatible than reactos

steam at least doesnt crash

>>60459733
You can even play Skyrim

>>60457356
It runs Wanna Cry flawlessly.

>>60459743
lel no

tried to play shenshen i/o but requires .net framework and Pretty girls Mahjong crashes because of some directx9 problem

Is this operating system viable as a daily driver?

>>60459786
Don't just assume shit.

it literally is faggot it's a dev project
it's not gonna have merit for end users for a long long time
nobody's trying to fight you on that

>>60459614
There is a fork of it focused on windows 7 and 8 support called GreenteaOS

>>60460139
>GreenteaOS
thanks senpai

I like their website, it looks modern without being bloated and faggy.

>>60457356
With it trying to be compatible with Windows, I have one question. Is it also compatible with Windows viruses?

>>60460361
Probably. It's also compatible with Windows drivers and shit.

>>60457356
Can't wait until it becomes usefull in day to day operations.

I wonder if it is okay to use in a VirtualBox. I may try it out.

>>60457356
Don't forget to disable smb services ;)

This suggests it's not

>>60460811
see >>60460814

>>60459810
damn that's pretty impressive

>>60460139
Isn't that deader than ReactOS its self?

I was looking at their page a while back

>>60461529
Both of them are quite alive
ReactOS had a new dev a while ago and the last kernel patch for greenteaOS was 5 days ago.

The difference is greenteaOS wants to build an x86_64 os that works well with windows 7 and 8

>>60459810
it's as if some things don't work on different hardware

>all the disadvantages of a system developed by hobbyists
>all the disadvantages of Windows
For what purpose?
Does anyone in this thread actually run it?

Only in a VM .... to see how far it has progressed every 6 months to a year

>>60461875
Russians don't want to put money into actual OS development

Otherwise they'd have one by now

>>60461778
Unfinished as it should be.

>>60458898
Aren't they russians? I bet they don't give a shit.

How do I make userland apps for ReactOS? Where's my C compiler?

>>60462785
it's a windows clone, use tools used to make windows programs, like mingw

>>60462824
Of course... Thanks.

I hope they get some funding, and more devs. This looks promising, might be usable as a daily driver in a few years.

>>60459581
None at the moment. The goal of ReactOS is to become an Open Source equivalent to Windows, so for now the best you can do is try ReactOS on a VM and see if the programs you use daily also work on it or not.

>>60459810
damn

>>60459810
This is actually pretty fucking cool. And I bet you can't install the driver of your Dedicated GPU yet, so seeing it working like this is actually impressive.

That SAO picture. How old are you?

>>60464344
Some GPUs drivers work. https://reactos.org/wiki/Supported_Hardware/Video_cards

>>60457356
So can I finally boot from USB?

>>60457356
Wake me up when they release 1.O.

>>60464500
enough to tell you sao was kinda shit.. , but didnt bother to change it cause im too old for that shit

>>60464901
I haven't teared it because my mobo does not support fat32

I do know it should work with rufus though

>>60457356
Neat.

Hopefully it supports DX11 by 2023.

>>60461612
He didn't even try though.

>>60465039
Who will reach 1.0 first, ReactOS or Hurd?

>>60467154
hurd

>>60459586
You can install it, although only older versions. Not sure about actually running stuff though.

>>60466181
I'd say 2053 is more likely or not even that soon.

>>60459809

If you want to replace XP on a old computer.
I seen someone mentioned greenteaos, any idea what currently makes it different from react?

>>60457356
give me one reason I should decapitate my all-perfectly-working OS for this

>>60467154
We won't be alive to know for sure.

>>60467460
64bit oriented like windows 7 and up
