Release would not make so much difference )

The only difference is ReactOS website new info update.

<tkreuzer> My plan is to make x64 work for 0.4.9, make it stable for 0.4.10, implement WOW64 for 0.4.11 and make x86 obsolete with 0.4.12

This mean that ReactOS will officially drop 32 bits architecture support, when it will reach 0.5 serie? Or someone will do a 32 bits architecture support ReactOS fork or distro?

didn't you understand that this is sarcasm? 😆

sometimes, idiots are easy to fool.

64-bit would be a pretty good point for 0.5 anyway :P

And SMP/SMT support, too. We need it, it would enormously boost reactos speed

A fork on Github is no fork via www.niels-ole.com

This could be a problem when forking ReactOS repos. ?? 🤔

No.

"There’s even talk of Win32 app functionality being removed, making it so anything not built using Microsoft’s UWP wouldn’t function." Oh god please no [edit] Oh, it's not meant to replace Windows (yet). Not all hope is lost. (yet...)

Well, from what i understand by reading up on OneCore, the Win32 stack will still remain for desktop users(they would be suicidal to not do that), but everything else will become UWP and modular. They started this since W8, with the MinWin kernel project, and have largely succeded. Now, the only part remaining is shell+explorer.exe, and that is a MASSIVE pain in the ass to replace, since its hooked into anything from the file explorer to the kernel, and its replacement needs to adapt to a ton of form factors, as WalkingCat has shown.

How much difference are between 'Win32' and 'NT' ?

Does reactos install from USB yet

USB installation should be a higher priority than x64 support

What's rt?

retweet

Why does @jeditobe keep making LiveUSBs

Where are the bootusbs?

Why would install from USB be higher priority?

Because it's been broken for 8 or something years

And nobody damn uses CDs anymore

And nobody damn uses CDs anymore

true

usb boot is so unpredictable on PCs though. *shrugs*

Where are the bootusbs?

It is supposed that ReactOS isos are 'hybrid' isos, and with Rufus LiveUSB creator, it works a bit with vgal`s builds only (for now).

USB installation should be a higher priority than x64 support

It must be one of the highest priority during this year, to have USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 (and 3.0 if it is possible) full complete and working. And LiveUSB full working too.

And nobody damn uses CDs anymore

In my city only 1 PC shop still sells CD-RWs . Not anyone have the same lucky to have CD-RWs . Having LiveUSB full working becames urgent!

Could you explain with complete details?

booting from USB tends to be difficult if possible at all

booting from USB tends to be difficult if possible at all

GNU/Linux distros can boot from USB. And be installed by USB. ReactOS LiveUSB is a fundamental need in modern tech world.

I know they can, but I disagree with it being a "fundamental need" :P

CDs and possible DVDs will dissappear soon (here where I live), it is more practical now a LiveUSB boot instead USB-DVD-W boot. Some new machines does not include a DVD Writer anymore.

heh

there's also that reactOS is so premature for actual hardware use, booting an ISO in a VM is always possible regardless of if you have a physical drive.

So to we expect and hope to have full LiveUSB working in initial 0.5.x series: 0.5.0 🙏🙏🙏

How much difference are between 'Win32' and 'NT' ?

NT is kernel, Win32 is subsystem, for the details read Mark Russinovich's book "Windows Internals"

I use Windows XP Pro SP3 on my Dell Optiplex 980

(Intel Core i5-650 2 cores 4 threads, Intel HD Graphics 1000/Ironlake, 80 GB 3.5 inch 7200 RPM SATA II HDD, 1600x900 @ 60 FPS VGA display, PS/2 Beige keyboard, USB 2 Wireless Laser Mouse, 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz Dual-Channel Interleaved (3.4~ available to XP and 1500 MB for the IGPU)

(Roughly 1.9 GB RAM for the OS)

(Still pretty darn good considering it's from 2001 o/ )

with that config you can use win 7 without issues AFAIK

or any modern linux distro

Yeah :3

But XP is just so much nicer ❤️

with no new software? 😆

Just like my profile picture over here

XD

Do the devs use these tools? Will this article help with reactos development?

USB vs 64 bit: we need both. USB helps in real hardware test, 64 bit greatly increases performance, software compatibility and future-proofing. Easy to say, but I think we would need at least 3 or 4x the actual number of developers

SMP too.

We use Coverity.

SMP too.

SMT/SMP and a good memory manager are always welcome

We use Coverity.

Thanks for the info 😊

[Limp Bizkit User, irc.freenode.net] but whoa very nice otherwise :D

[Limp Bizkit User, irc.freenode.net] i guess that's still a possibility anyway

[Limp Bizkit User, irc.freenode.net] since i'm sure modern tech can be more clean to even at bigger size to have as fast flow as the original

[eersoy93, irc.freenode.net] I have some questions.

[eersoy93, irc.freenode.net] Can I write these questions to dev channel?

[eersoy93, irc.freenode.net] These questions are related to me and ROS development.

[hehe, irc.freenode.net] Either channel is likely fine

[eersoy93, irc.freenode.net] But dev channel has more devs can answer me I think.
