The issue with ReactOS is that it's not a greenfield OS project. The devs do not make the biggest architectural decisions. They have to follow MSs steps. Unfortunately, most of those steps are not documented and they must be followed. Because the one and only target of the project is to be fully "Windows compatible".
- xet7 4y agoReactOS has install option to use Btrfs filesystem. Windows does not have that.
- feldrim 4y agoWhich has been almost abandoned since the developer left ReactOS contribution. There's no maintainer if one wants to contribute to Btrfs. IIRC, it was done to find a viable alternative for NTFS as it is almost as hard to develop ReactOS itself. Still, lack of an open source NTFS driver is the most important lack of ReactOS. Because many of the reliability issues are tied to filesystem reliability and FAT is not as reliable as NTFS. When you do a hard reset, registry might get corrupt because it could not flush to disk properly and without a Journaling file system, it's not easy to prevent, rollback, recover from this situation.
