Do you know about ReactOS - MS Windows replacement?

[Не ругайтесь пжлст]

ReactOS is a free and open-source operating system for x86/x64 personal computers intended to be binary-compatible with computer programs and device drivers made for Windows Server 2003 and later versions

Many people are aware of it but ReactOS is still in Alpha. It's far from finished and many applications will not run properly on it or not at all.

ReactOS uses a lot of code from WINE, and running apps in WINE on LInux can be a huge pain in the butt especially if they rely on other dependencies such as DirectX.

It works well enough. But it won’t install on the one older machine I would consider running it on full time sadly.

From what I've seen it has as much telemetry as windows does.
So I'll just stick to running my games on wine and booting into my windows partition if I have to

ReactOS could be to Windows what a punch card reader is to a VR headset

15 years ago React OS was an exciting proposition. But I feel the idea has hinged on the speed of developers and financial support, right now I can’t see why React OS is a better system?

You could just run Windows
You could just run Windows, (And where is the Privacy Pro edition?)
Or you could run Linux? With it’s superior compatibility support and entire ecosystem.


I also can’t see why a product developer would support such a legacy platform?

I sadly don’t think users are going to install an OS.

Not currently supported? Current internet browsers, current printers, current graphics cards, current productivity suites, current games?
