Win 8 ones would just be win 10 + accent color variants lmao

eh, Windows 8 is more of a flattened Aero from Vista/7

Yes but no

Windows 10 just looks like the GTK fallback theme and they forgot to make a real theme

Maybe I make GTK 3 like theme, as GTK 3 is similar to windows 7, in a way

By that I assume you mean Adwaita (the default). Have fun with any theme you plan to make, go for it :) Maybe it's unlikely to be included in ReactOS but that shouldn't stop you, they can always be installed anyway.

Windows is the better operating system of Microsoft. Change my mind!

this message got me thinking: could DOS executables be made compatible with ReactOS one day or dosbox is already enough for running them?

Reactos has one of the best vdm available

It already runs a lot of programs

which one?

Reactos own vdm

WineVDM?

No! Reactos ntvdm

No! Reactos ntvdm

Erhm...

Concept. Is it available like RN?

It's the one shipped with ros

I meant the concept on how it works

https://reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14491 it's been there for a few years

It's the one shipped with ros

Maybe I'm just dumb, but IIRC some devs were trying out WineVDM

Idk

Still, both are good vdm

And easier than dosbox

Aha. That's what I was missing: "ntvdm.exe myAncientGame(BOR).exe" to start it. So, you need to start it from cmd. Never would've guessed. Only missing the integration (ie, ReactOS infers that "BOR.EXE" is a DOS executable, and tries to "automagically" run it optimally on the ntvdm when you open the executable)

when reactOS will hit version 4.18+ or so, I will probably test it for a while to see how good it is for the task I want to do

I have some archaic programs that I need to test to see how well they run

How

no keyboard

Solid state keyboard they say

same technology as the one used in iphone volume buttons on recent models, instead of using mechanical parts they'll just use haptic-feedback sensors to give the user the illusion of the buttons being pressed

at least according to my own ideas on how it should work based around recent developments at apple

that was the home button

this feature is one of the hardest thing to do because you have to understand how the human brain and senses work

that was the home button

yes, but it was also implemented on the recent iphone pro models as a replacement to the traditional mechanical volume buttons

https://twitter.com/mingchikuo/status/1585852274680950784 you mean what is speculated to happen, not "was implemented"

How

aka a touchscreen

That's a lot of cores

Do they work?

If so, could it be possible to run 7zip benchmark on them and compare with windows? 😍

huh. i didn't know ReactOS had SMP now

Hahaha

well that's neat.

I wonder if reactOS will work on a dual CPU amd epyc workstation or rack server with double the amount of cores available

Likely yes

And it will start only 1 core

And it will start only 1 core

with the latest update things could change drastically, maybe it will also work with dual cpu workstation builds

Which update?

Lol

That's just CPU cores shown in device manager

They are not being used in any way

But The DarkFire has worked on SMP, hasn't he?

The_DarkFire_#2772: Doesn't mean it's in master, uniata explodes with it too so there's no way to use bootcd atm

is the file searcher in reactOS better than the one on windows?

heard many complaints from windows power users about the file searching feature not being good enough on windows 7 or later (not sure if this problem persist in windows 11)

Windows 7 file search is still usable. Windows 10 file search IMHO is useless. I really miss old (98se style) "find" and all of its options and parameters

hbelusca Z[J]=∫𝒟𝜑 exp(ⅈS[𝜑,J]/ℏ): the filesearcher in ROS may be at most at "good" as in windows 2000/XP/2003, minus any support for the indexing service.

Still better than that useless windows 10 thing

go ahead and test it

Try out 'everything' from voidtools

Does not search in files I think, but has an almost instant search on filename

Well I have been sharing some obscure software, but it's never been so low Twitter interactions.

More known games are on the list.
