I personally experienced that many 3rd-party open source projects don't know ROS...

...and why not try to involve their devs into ReactOS ?

Why should they? Isn't ReactOS a worthy project? And it has requirements that go beyond an emulation layer.
But I would love to have a free/open source OS that can run lots of Windows games and has further compatibility (like drivers and more).xpert wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 6:11 pm Maybe this power is wasted. Windows is dying, ask Microsofts developers, especially in Munich. Read the press of last years:

Overly bloated kernel (it even has a coffee machine, a laundry washer and a nuclear power plant built into it). The kernel is impossible to be built without a lot of configuration work. Hard to configure (kernel and user space). Extremely overdone GUI. Not intuitive at all, impossible to be used by non-nerds. Many many variants which different installers and binary file formats. Not target/ecosystem for many games and business software. Totally messed up bootloader (grub2). Obscure boot kludge.

Nightmare software in Linux/GNU: Kernel, X, Desktop Environments, systemd.

dude, have you read those articles? local "xperts" over there do fantasize (at least in the second one) about "dying" the personal computing at home, which is synonymous to Windows - it's an old and sour song from this kind of "professional" clowns; this balderdash got boring and uninteresting ages ago, but they keep parroting it (somehow). but you see, if they are right, your "whine" is even more irrelevant then, so as linux is. the latter isn't even considered there, because it's not existent in the home PC computing. they didn't say, "linux is arising, windows is fading away", they said "PC at home is disappearing". why you've got so excited? linux didn't exist there anyway?xpert wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 6:11 pm Maybe this power is wasted.

wait the minute. I see, it's a much worse case, than might seem. okay, just don't forget to take your FSF pills. and yet, - if you came up here to convince local developers to go collectively do Whine, that won't happen, as it's said in my language - don't hurt your 4ss.1. Kernel too big? Build one yourself
2. make xconfig, make menuconfig exist
3. which GUI, there are many
4. maybe you are "impossible silly"..?
5. there is one binary file format: ELF
6. Ohh no business software, like MS SQL or SAP runs there? Oh wait...
7. you are telling rubbisc
8. this post was written on Linux
I'm currently stuck using a Dell Inspiron 2200 laptop for computing as I'm between houses and didn't have any other laptops, and Linux (even puppy linux, a distro specifically for laptops such as mine) is fairly sluggish and freezes before the day is done. Do I expect lightning fast performance from a laptop older than a high school freshman? No, but I do expect better out of a distro specifically designed for older 32-bit PCs that might otherwise be considered obsolete. Haiku is an... obvious beta, but when programs aren't crashing spectacularly it's tight and responsive, and ReactOS has the potential to be just like it in that regard once Intel driver support exists, but with actual software support and an interface you can sit most people in front of and they won't immediately go "what even is this?".
