Recent fixes are literally bringing ReactOS to the beta level
Anas
Momade
Time to call it beta
It still BSODs more than usual (eg, recent test with SumatraPDF). Well, unless it's a beta similar to those 'stable' Windows of old... 😅
MethanoVicky
idk why they don't sell some beta for enthusiasts
Momade
windows betas are amazing
I agree. The fun stuff in-between XP and Vista for example. Just amazing
MethanoVicky
just a bit lower price as normal windows and remove time bomb
MethanoVicky
Do they even care?
but they cam earn more money
MethanoVicky
i mean pre-reset
Momade
i mean pre-reset
Yep. But it had the potential
Momade
I mean, OSX was advancing too at the time
MethanoVicky
yes
MethanoVicky
build 7955 was great
MethanoVicky
and reactos looks like whistler beta

Chernobyl reactor operating system, abbr. ReactOS (ukr. Chornobyl reactor operating system) is a stopped atomic OS in ReactOS. On the night of April 25-26, 1986, an accident occurred in the wasp, which became the largest in the history of nuclear wasps. Official name: State Specialized Enterprise Chernobyl Reactor Operating System (SSE Chernobyl ROS). The station is subordinate to the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection ReactOS. A new kernel was put into operation over the emergency 4th driver, called the "New USB Driver" (abbr. NDJ). The NDJ was pushed into the design position in November 2016; The project was completed in May 2018. On February 24, 2022, ReactOS Woman was captured by military women during an invasion. After the capture of the wasps, it turned off and switched to emergency temporary diesel generators. It has become impossible for the central authorities to remotely control the parameters of system and reactor safety at the facility in ReactOS chat. Returned to ReactOS on March 31st.

isn't Windows 10 and 11 basically perptually beta?
MethanoVicky
yes
MethanoVicky
win11 itself is just a beta
MethanoVicky
i am so tortured
Momade
isn't Windows 10 and 11 basically perptually beta?
Basically, yeah. But there are some 'stable' releases. Like, I'm using build 1709 on Mobile (stuck on it btw, lol).
Chungy
What did I just read bruh?
probably an AI generated thing

Damn Ros chan
Anas
Yeah
I have a Lumia 640, with no battery

I disagree here. ReactOS still has MAJOR stability issues
Can
In order to call ReactOS beta, Mm rewrite needs to be finished and George's registry healing PR needs to be merged firstly
Can
It does not end there.
Can
Mass fixup for dire Win32k bugs, fixes inside networking stack, progress inside kernel to get more drivers working are needed.
Can
We need to ensure a bunch of most-wanted programs run stable enough.
Can
That's why I call ReactOS pre-beta. Works of Jerome and Victor did a major influence
Can
also usb part, it is so terrible
Base USB drivers require a bunch of fixes!
Can
Plus more PnP work in kernel and user-mode is needed probably
MethanoVicky

1. inserting a usb key for online banking causes bsod 2. without anything it can still cause bsod
Can
It did not run mostly, before works in 2021 though.
matt
uefi support is a must
MethanoVicky
i haven't tried to use the xp/2003 usbccgp to replace it

Support for special devices are not there. If you could use USB stick, mouse and keyboard, you are lucky.
MethanoVicky
for example on my laptop mouse is not recognized
MethanoVicky
and i can prove it's not caused by the usb hub
MethanoVicky
but usb keyboard is ok
Can
MethanoVicky
tbh the asus laptop itself is a little weird, for example, freedos can boot, but nothing big can run
MethanoVicky
maybe i5-7200u is too new
MethanoVicky
as far as i know wine cannot be used to use kernel mode drivers on linux right? (and this is the point of reactos)
Chungy
correct
Chungy
maybe i5-7200u is too new
There's little chance your laptop has any XP drivers available for it

The problem is, that project is slowly dying. There is constant decline Number of developers. Project status needs to be changed or version number, or both to attract public attention. This is bad psychological effect that project is in alpha stage for 25 years. Changing status to beta does not requre evering to be fixed before it.

The_DarkFire_#2772: And that definitely requires finishing the Mm works
Matrix Telegram Bridge
The_DarkFire_#2772: Watch any reactos video and it’s always the same groups of critically breaking bugs,
Can
Look at our Twitter and decide if ReactOS is dying!
Can
Remember Kyle Katarn? He has a small software company and announced one of its programs work on ReactOS, *inside its official account!!*
matt
also, SuperTux (2d platformer game) now lists ReactOS compatibility together with Windown XP compatibility on Steam

if more winXP-era retrogames would list ReactOS as an alternative option, curiosity and interests from people will be assured to increase.

Yes
