Side note: How great is it that we live in a time when total Windows compatibility just isn't all that interesting? There was a time when that functionality would have been, to borrow a highly over-used term, a real game-changer. I want to introduce how to compile and run a first very simple C application at the current. May be, the most important reason is a lack of attention. Even if the first version of ReactOS dates back to 1998, there is still no 'stable' version of ReactOS. ReactOS implementing a Windows 2003-compatible system I just find noteworthy. 0:00 / 4:24 Intro ReactOS: Does it work on Mac Nomadic Dmitry 4.31K subscribers Subscribe 1.1K views 3 years ago Macintosh ReactOS WindowsAlternative In this episode we are examining. ReactOS is an open source alternative to the Windows operation system. AROS creating an AmigaOS-compatible system I find noteworthy, fascinating, and fun. This doesn’t just mean looking like Windows, although it does (well, older versions in any case). What I find interesting is that both AROS and ReactOS are implementing an older system – both with amazing success – yet my reaction to them is profoundly different. What Is ReactOS, Anyway ReactOS is an attempt to build an open-source operating system that mimics Windows. That way I could benefit from running Linux software side-by-side with Windows software. However, if I were to really want to run Windows software, I would probably do it via WINE. And the fact that this is Free Software, yet could be a drop-in replacement for Windows for many people, is incredibly cool. Thank you for backing the future Take control What You. It's not as pretty as a modern Linux Desktop (or AROS). You will decide which applications and hardware you want us to work on, and we will make it possible. I really don't have anything bad to say about ReactOS. Right about there is where I started developing a bit of a tick and realized that ReactOS was slowly draining what little remained of my sanity. As of February 2022 update, it is still considered feature-incomplete, and is therefore recommended by the developers only for evaluation and testing purposes. The same software (for the most part) that I use every day on Linux is right here. ReactOS has been in development since 1996. From within it you can even install a large number of FOSS software staples, such as Firefox, LibreOffice, and The Gimp.Īll the Windows versions of those applications, naturally.Īfter I went through and installed the Windows version of just about every application I typically install and use on my Linux Desktops, I had a system I could easily live in full-time. But it's damned impressive that it exists and works so well.īeyond simply being Open Source, ReactOS has one cool features that Windows never really provided properly: An application manager that is laid out and structured like a Linux package manager. If I'm honest, I really don't know how ReactOS makes me feel.
