I put them all in the same group
David
I don't like any of them

I'm just a noob at linux, but interested in ReactOS (:
Victor
don't worry about linux 😊
Anonymous
How many softwares does it supports now?
Anonymous
Or a VM
Anonymous
Quite a bit, but it could vary from build to build or setup to setup
Anonymous
But, I do know that people have gotten Skyrim and HL2 running on it
Anonymous
Wow
Anonymous
Can't say how well, but I assume it'd be like running the game with wine

Does ReactOs have Linux apps?
Anonymous
Just wondering.
Anonymous
As far as I know, not really unless you count WINE
Anonymous
But don't quote me on that
Anonymous
It has terminal?👀
Kittygirl
Sure looks like it...
Kittygirl
i sure hope so :3
Kow
But , reactos doesnt have sua subsystem?
Kow
Like windows?

Everything is Linux when you think about it
ReactOS has hybrid kernel so he is right, it's not linux
Anonymous
ReactOS is an attempt of windows clone, not a linux distro with wine xD

Everything is Linux. You are Linux. I am Linux. Steve Ballmer is Linux.
Emilis
Stallman is Linux

Victor
Especially Ballmer
Emilis
Ballmer is Torvalds' SFW counterpart

@gigaherz , will the shell exts work asynchronously in ReactOS? (Because it's really annoying on Windows Explorer to wait 'few' seconds while its crappy right-click menu is loading)
David
If someone programs that.
David
I didn't, and I don't plan to. ;P
🦥Alex Fails
But I may be mistaken about the cause of these lags. It also may be excessive queries to the registry
🦥Alex Fails
(it may do about 100k queries)
David
it's a bit of everything
David
when the popup shows
David
it has to query the file attributes (disk access)
David
it has to enumerate registry entries
David
it has to load the shellexts if they are not yet loaded
David
and it has to query each shellext, to give it a chance to add new menu items
David
and those shellexts MAY in turn query file contents/attributes
David
and that can't be parallelized. the best we MAY be able to do is run the menu code asynchronously from the folder browsing
David
but as I said, I'm not going to be the one to program that. ;P

Does ReactOs have Linux apps?
No, ReactOS is a proper reimplementation of Windows NT, as such, it only runs Windows applications, and only uses drivers for Windows Server 2003 and earlier.
Emilis
Kirn
Kirn
But ReactOS does not have one
🦥Alex Fails
it has subsystems loader (as NT core)
Emilis
GPL is proprietary as fuck
Emilis
Source: my ass
Kirn
it has subsystems loader (as NT core)
This is a naïve and poorly constructed assumption, w.r.t. POSIX subsystem
Kirn
Let's start at the top, ReactOS does not include such a subsystem, how are you going to launch it?
Kirn
There's no PSXSS.EXE or POSIX.EXE
Kirn
If you think you can just copy the relevant files from an existing Windows NT or Windows 2000 installation over, there's absolutely zero guarantee that they'd even work at all, and quite a bit of reason to believe they'd just crash (or possibly cause a BSOD)
Kow
Reversers.
Emilis
GiB reasons
🦥Alex Fails
🦥Alex Fails
And watch, what'll happens
Emilis
Autocorrect, meant "gib reasons"
Emilis
As in give
Kirn
ReactOS is incomplete and still hasn't managed to fully implement a version of Windows that was release 16 years ago; reverse-engineering is a painfully slow process.
🦥Alex Fails
The kernel has a strict API about subsystems and its loading. It is not documented but it has been implemented in ReactOS
