ReactOS remains my biggest “But why?” tech story for the past ~20 years.
Linux doesn’t work for most people, and Windows and Mac are corporate. I hope ReactOS succeeds.
I mean I wish them the best, but they’ve been chasing Windows for decades, at what point exactly is this “success” to be measured?
When they’re successful, it will be a good day. For now, it’s all about having fun with the journey.
ReactOS is funded by the state Duma of the Russian Federation. If you want the OS to succeed you can hope for the end of the Ukrainian invasion.
Otherwise the OS can fucking die a slow miserable death along with the Russians in Ukraine for all we care.

Lobbying for support in Russia
Between 2007 and 2015, Russian ReactOS contributors representing the ReactOS Foundation made efforts at lobbying the Russian federal government. As of April 2019, these efforts have not yielded government support for ReactOS, and the Russia-based ReactOS Foundation has been dissolved since November 2015.
The ReactOS Foundation was established on June 5, 2002 and was based in Saransk, Russia.
I didn’t understand your point so I thought to reiterate with proof that ReactOS is Russian state sponsored and continues to be.

Mr. Butts, you sweet sweet summer child.
First thing about ReactOS that makes any kind of sense.
Honestly they should have just gone the North Korea route and contributed upstream to WINE.
I hate these types of reactions.
The answer to that dead ass question is always “why not?”
There’s a lot of WinXP software out there that people bought licenses for and still want to use.
The BEST Need for Speed EVER!!!
Shift works fine on modern windows and proton what are you talking about.
Nothing worng with running XP in a VM or network isolated machine. Stability will be more important to these people than anything.
embedded probably
Isn’t it still stuck in 32bit land?
