Backwards compatibility often creates problems
Eris
look at winamp
still works with its old plugins with the latest version, most of the time
expwez
does winamp work?
🦥Alex Fails
yes, but i'm not sure

all i want is native btrfs and zfs
Kittygirl
truth :3
Rolando. E.R.
I think you need so much more than that. This is not work for begginers.
Kittygirl
>tfw only know basic python
feels bad fam :'3

systems programming is not for the faint of heart.

why don't you go read the source code?
Kirn
Then the questions you asked, you would not be able to use the answer
Quinten
Why not?
Kirn
because if you are not a programmer, having a list of "working" or "not working" or "partially working" functions is useless
Kirn
it certainly won't tell you how well drivers will work
Kirn
because without driver source code, and programming skill to read that source code, you won't know how well the driver works before trying to use it
Kirn
your only way to tell is to simply try it
Kirn
and hope blue screen does not happen
Quinten
It can still give an indication, and other functions are also implemented in the kernel
Kirn
no
Quinten
For example, does the kernel support multiple processors
Kirn
it can't give an indication
Kirn
function completion tables can't tell you if SMP or HMP is supported if you aren't a dev
Quinten
Why not
Kirn
okay
Kirn
are you a developer?
Mike
As a non-programmer, i still think it's a good idea
Kirn
Kirn
okay
Kirn
non-programmers
Mike
It could help in finding other developers
Kirn
no, because any truly capable programmer that could help, they would be able to see from the source code alone
Kirn
also
Kirn
non-programmer dudes
Kirn
what is the purpose of the kernel function KeBugCheckEx()?
Kirn
don't use google
Mike
And it could allow people not skilled in programming but with some knowledge to get closer to reactos
Kirn
no, not really
Kirn
only fake wannabe programmers
Kirn
and those folks are a negative for a community

And missing features for example can include filesystems, SMP, which an advanced end user will care about
Quinten
And they are a part of the kernel status
Mike
I don't know and have no problems in admitting it. But, since i have some knowledge in marketing, i still think this could help
Kirn

For example, I care if it's possible to read ext4. Pretty sure that's a kernel function
Mike
Inside a group of 100 wannabe developers there still could be someone good and willing to help

Let's teach them what they lack then

I'm not a dev, but this isn't helping in getting people close
Kirn
Kirn
I don't care for possibilies that are extremely rare, the effort put out towards them is NOT justified by how rare it is that they will come to fruition
Kirn
that's basic economics
Quinten
Kirn
and economics is more than money
Quinten
Kirn
it can run several major Windows programs without fault

in some cases, it's cheapest and easiest to just pay some devs to bring ReactOS up to snuff
