It has been a long time since I've tried ReactOS. It wasn't something I consider daily driver, real hardware ready.
WINE and Proton have made the situation better. My desktop remains Windows and I more or less treat it like a game console. It runs games, some recording/modelling software, Adobe Reader for some terrible gov't PDFs, and my wife's cutting machine. The rest are my Linux distro choice of the week.
We get closer all the time.
- rbanffy 5y agoI am yet to play with Proton. Truth is there isn't much, if any, Windows software I want to run.
- squarefoot 5y agoI've just upgraded to a Ryzen 4300GE and tried some games under either plain WINE or Playonlinux with success; I didn't even need to overclock it. I've also used extensively WINE in the past for electronic simulation and music software with success. Before being also ported to Linux, Reaper for Windows run perfectly with very low latencies without using ASIO drivers, and MicroCap is now free as in beer, and runs great under Linux using WINE. http://www.spectrum-soft.com/index.shtm http://www.spectrum-soft.com/index.shtm The number of software that run great under WINE is getting bigger and bigger, and I can understand why Microsoft is so concerned that they had to create their anti-WINE (WSL) which does exactly the same in reverse.
