Re: Official discord server

It's not "official" per say but there is a reactos discord server with many of the core team on it already.

Re: Running ReactOS on i9 Core Laptop: Compatibility and Tips

Please don't try to run ReactOS on such a modern system. You have a high chance of actually damaging your hardware until we fix a few core problems.

Re: Problems with Core i5 Laptop and ReactOS Product. Any Advice?

Hi, ROS has a lot of issues running on real hardware newer than the core 2 duo series.

There’s nothing wrong with your configuration it’s just systems newer than core 2 tend to be incredibly difficult on ReactOS.

Re: ventoy support

Hi! Just for the record ventoy doesn’t support ReactOS.

They’ve expressed explicitly they don’t support us, and won’t at this time.

We’re in the process of moving away from windows 2003 so this whole thread is a bit late, it’s just not as easy as changing a number

LiveCD in RAM (Debug)

Re: Red stripe on UEFI

Hi! I’m the developer that introduced UEFI.

This red stripe is actually the ReactOS logo you’d expect on boot up.

Currently the UEFI frame buffer driver isn’t merged yet so what you’re seeing is the left over VGA registers on your GPU still functioning!
Funky isn’t it?

As for your other ...

Re: USB network card?

Hmm, Well whatever you get you'll have to have SOME sort of driver,

I could be reading wrong but you saying "No network" sounds like you expected it to work out of box :) No you need a windows XP compatible driver currently. Although maybe you tried that and I'm just reading into it.

Any Intel ...

Re: EPIC WIN!

With the amazing progress on the 64bit port, and some of the WIP UEFI stuff being done we can now boot ReactOS on random modern weird hardware.
Here's the steam deck running ReactOS!
Very minimal and sadly has no PS/2 emulation
But the first sound of our future!
