/ros/ - ReactOS General

What's the point of using it, it's even more obscure then FreeBSD

FOSS OS with all of the benefits of legacy Windows. If it works as intended, it would effectively make legacy Windows obsolete and allow older machines to keep on trucking. It’s a neat and hypothetically practical novelty all in all.

But enough about launch-day windows xp

I doubt it. Can it run most software or games made for Windows?

Yes, but not as well as WINE. You can run some XP-era games with ease as long as they aren’t reliant on certain sound drivers and the like.

Maybe

It won't

I don't think I would. Even if it were 100% stable, I'd much rather have the technology from it worked into a compatibility layer on Linux or BSD. Wine and Proton are getting there, but it's still nowhere near as seamless and integrated as it could be.

When Microsoft tried doing this the other way around (WSL1, basically translating Linux system calls into NT ones) it was a mess. WSL2 is just a virtual machine, and that's disappointing.

Kick-ass. Everything works perfectly except network and audio but I can probably fix that by burning some drivers onto a DVD, which works out of the box might I add! I'm impressed.

Despite my grievances with the pace of progress, the current capabilities of ReactOS on the slim pickings of compatible hardware is staggeringly impressive.
