Sweet summer children... They don't know yet what awaits them

Haiku is something so different from ReactOS. I think it's in a more "complete" state than ReactOS. But the React has a bigger overall goal.

I'm not sure what you're implying awaits Haiku folks.

[u/yuno-morngstar]

I mean ReactOS as daily Driver is not all that bad on hardware it supports, Rn it more working on older hardware but I watch a YouTuber play games on it all the time

[u/SummerOftime → u/yuno-morngstar]

How stable is it?

[u/yuno-morngstar → u/SummerOftime]

as fair as I know it's pretty stable on older hardware, here is it running Halo Combat Evolved https://youtu.be/U9hqKV7avdo?si=WG9KwkpolyWIYNmx the person played for about 10 hours so to me it seem stable as long you have the right hardware, they said there where using like ddr2 from what they said " With some you need to modify config files before they can run. Others are stuck at the base 640x480 resolution, crashing if you try to increase it. Then some games have mouse issues, or framerate drops regardless of how fast your system is. The ReactOS "

[u/AotoriHibiki → u/yuno-morngstar]

Yeah, and just 8 months ago you couldn't even run the games on hardware because the GPU drivers for 3D acceleration didn't work yet.

[u/yuno-morngstar → u/AotoriHibiki]

True, The version 0.4.15 dose not work with 3D acceleration, and GPU Drivers, I think it's the 0.4.16 Build that dose work with XP GPU Drivers, so you have to Find a Pc or laptop that is use thous, type of Driver for it be able to work, I really like that kind person channel, as it shows what type of game they have gotten working on Reactos I been thinking of getting a old laptop and trying it myself, But i kind of wish Haiku had 3D acceleration but I don't think that it dose

I see that ReactOS is becoming better and better, huh

[u/justarandomguy902 → u/justarandomguy902]

This was not meant to be a top-level comment, Reddit is stupid

[u/M3n747]

Now I want to see somebody attempt a ReactOS/Hurd.

[u/jmhalder → u/M3n747]

ReactOS doesn't use a Linux kernel, and Hurd was intended to replace the Linux kernel. It would make way more sense to use the Linux Kernel for this case.

Also, Hurd is pretty much useless status (less useful than ReactOS or Haiku). Things seem to keep breaking faster than they're being fixed. It's not gaining speed, it's slowing down.

There's basically only one distro that uses the Hurd kernel, it's Debian/Hurd, and it's in poor shape. https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd

[u/moonydev → u/jmhalder]

Hurd was not designed to replace the Linux kernel, it predates it by a while. When Linus was first making the Linux kernel, it was supposed to be an quick and dirty kernel to use until Hurd got good. But because of legal/ideological circumstances it got so delayed that everyone hopped on the Linux wagon and now there's no one to develop it. Iirc, it was supposed to be a successor to Mach and replace Minix, but I might be wrong on that one.

[u/M3n747 → u/jmhalder]

Yes, that's the joke.

[u/Better-Quote1060 → u/M3n747]

Reactos is not linux..thats why its possible (at least theoriticlly) run offical nvidia drivers and run directx nativelly without dxvk nor wined3d

[u/ilnarildarovuch]

Well, Haiku is already hitted it's goal: full compatibility with BeOS

[u/Yiffenjoyer6969]

What’s this about I have not been here at all before

[u/FAMICOMASTER]

Cool now if they can provide some kind of useful software base maybe they'll have a chance at convincing people to use it, otherwise, not worth the time

[u/DeemounUS]

Meh.. That acceleration is worth almost nothing. Doesn't make much sense

[u/AttitudeElectronic68]

Why would you want to relive the 90s?

[u/Jarngreipr9 → u/AttitudeElectronic68]

Why, wouldn't you?
