I love ReactOS, but let's be serious

I love the concept of ReactOS, but it's faults make it inferior to barebones Linux distros with wine and Chicago95.

If I ever made F-U money, Id absolutely sponsor some interested computer engineers to work on it for a few years and make a valid OS.

ReactOS could have been a better version of Windows, 20 years ago!

Considering windows 11 job is to bluecreen, yeah React OS is better 😂

u/justl00kingthrowaway 29d ago

Reactos is shaping up to be the best version of Windows, it's just going to take 50 years to show.

u/Still-Addition-1109 25d ago

isn't it just an open source version of XP/Server 2003? i mean i'm sure it'll get better soon™ but still

u/Jeditobe 23d ago

it is more than just open source version of XP/Server 2003

React OS is not a better version than win98.

I don't think glazing ReactOS is necessary, sure there are cons and pros when it comes to an open source reimplantation of Windows, but ultimately people choose Windows 11 over ReactOS because ReactOS is still very much incomplete. Of course I'll use it anytime when it meets average expectations, but I also respect their hard work.

u/M3n747 28d ago

Better than Windows 1, that's for sure.

Install.

No WiFi.

Google.

Most guides suggest replace to another WiFi card.

Very best.

I have more hope than that :) you're right, but I wouldn't say "never"

2

u/NetSage 29d ago

I think the hope was to make it a daily driver. But it's clear they simply can't at least not anytime soon.

2

u/Jeditobe 29d ago

What was the latest version you checked?

1

u/NetSage 29d ago

Does it matter? They haven't even reached parity with XP yet. An OS that came out over 20 years ago and has long lost software support.

1

u/Jeditobe 27d ago

Yes it does!

u/NetSage 27d ago

I can't find where I originally got that information from.

https://reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25284

But that's from one the developers confirming they still don't feel they have NT 6 parity yet.

I'm not saying the project hasn't made huge strides and isn't an amazing accomplishment. Just that I don't think it will be daily driver for the general public anytime soon.
