Love to see updates on ReactOS! Alternative options to running Windows are always welcome.

Feel a bit dumb saying this since it's apparently been around 30years but I've never heard of this.

Any comments on the user experience? Before you tell me to just install Linux, I have on some of my systems but I have a lot of specialty peripherals and work software that I've never been able to get to run properly on Linux distros on my main desktop and the laptop experience still feels like a compromise to me.

What are some downsides of using this over windows?

I feel like the reactOS team are good people from the 90s who just never gave up, and good for them.

The fact is, i’d probably sooner install templeOS, and that’s not happening. Actually, if old windows licenses weren’t ridiculously awash in graymarket swampishness it’d be a wonderful alternative someday, for those archival use cases.

Its been a minute since Ive heard of ReactOS! Its such an interesting project. From my understanding theres a lot of the same devs that helped out with early wine too. Might still im not sure.

I talked to one of the contributors at Linuxtage Chemnitz and he explained that there seems to be special interest from manufacturers not having any more windows support for machines that still run perfectly fine. Just fyi.

Did they finally implement NT 6 support
