ReactOS may be impressive from a technical standpoint, but judging from the release candidate its still got a long way to go in terms of stability. While I was able to install it after puzzling over the correct hardware options, it still hanged during installing drivers at boot.
- orionblastar 11y agoReactOS runs best in a virtual machine. Running it on bare iron is risky. Driver support is limited and they are still working on it. For example they just added Wifi support and printing support. I donated to their Indiegogo campaign to get the community edition developed, that campaign allowed them to hire developers to get to the 0.40 mile stone.
- kayamon 11y agoIsn't one of the goals behind ReactOS that you can "simply" use the large existing base of Windows drivers on it?
- restalis 11y agoThat's the aim, but the circle of developers working on it is not that wide and even at the level of Windows 2003 (the project's compatibility aim) there already was a pretty large surface of binary compatibility to be covered. Many drivers already work, but many do not yet (because hey, it's not even in beta stage yet).
