В ReactOS внесены улучшения, исправляющие ряд проблем с USB
Здравствуйте, дорогие друзья! Кто давно следит за развитием проекта, помнит, что одним из больных мест ReactOS была поддержка USB. При тестировании на реальном железе с большой вероятностью система выпадала в BSOD из-за USB-драйверов. Даже если вы использовали PS/2 мыши/клавиатуры, то простое подключение/отключение флешки могло "уронить" систему. Но, недавно, разработчик @The_DarkFire __ внёс ряд исправлений в USB-драйвера, которые исправляют данные проблемы с USB в ReactOS на реальном оборудовании!

Fun fact! There is a #FOSS (free and open source) #operatingSystem called #ReactOS, which is designed specifically to be able to run #Windows applications and also to look and feel like Windows. It has been around for many years and is still being developed, even quite seriously with some funding.
Of course, its funding and its development crew are minute compared to Windows, so it is still an unfinished project and you should expect less polish. That being said, many things already work and you can try it out in a #virtualMachine. This page has a lot of useful information and links, including about limitations:

Vous connaissez #ReactOS ?
C'est un système d'exploitation libre comme #linux #mac ou #windows qui vise a cloner le fonctionnement de windows
Quand nos programmes windows sont pas sur linux, on peut utiliser #Wine #Proton #crossover
Mais aussi utiliser windows en machine virtuelle... Ou avant, voir si #ReactOS supporte votre application 🤷♀️
Mais si #libvirt #qemu avait des drivers graphiques, compatibles, ca serait mieux 🤔
V'la que #ReactOS supporte ENFIN les cartes graphiques 3dfx RT voodoo 5
C bien, il reste encore 25 ans de cartes graphiques a supporter 🤔
Nan sérieux, il a meme pas voulu de mes drivers #libvirt fournis pour windows, comment j'fais ?
Si je trouve qqun qui a déjà essaye c un miracle, si en plus il cause fr et voit mes messages ET veut bien répondre 🤨
≪ ReactOS 0.4.15 veröffentlicht ≫
Da ist doch tatsächlich an mir vorbeigegangen, dass #ReactOS seit März wieder aktiv weiterentwickelt wird.
Es ist zwar nach wie vor in einem experimentellen Stadium, aber schön zu sehen, dass es jetzt nach einer längeren Pause dort scheinbar weitergeht. 👍
Heh, mi persone ŝatas subniĉojn. Ekz. traduki #ReactOS al #Esperanto. Sed poste mia logika cerbo devas averti min pri kosto de oportuno kaj fokusi min al strategie pli gravaj laboroj. Sed...
Parenteze, nudistoj esperantistoj laŭ mi estas sufiĉe ĉarma subniĉo. Kvankam mi tute ne intencas aliĝi al ili 😅

An initial investigation into WDDM on ReactOS
One of the problems the ReactOS project continually has to deal with is that Windows is, of course, an evolving, moving target. Trying to be a Windows-compatible operating system means you're going to have to tie that moving target down, and for ReactOS, the current focus is on being compatible with Windows Server 2003 "or later". This "or later

Экспериментальная сборка ReactOS
Последняя релизная версия ReactOS 0.4.15 выпущена 21 марта 2025 г. А в начале октября 2025 Вадим Галянт выпустил экспериментальную сборку ReactOS, предназначенную для отработки загрузки операционной системы на реальном железе. Сборка должна быть совместима с железом, предназначенным для загрузки Windows XP (NT5.x). На более новом железе система скорее всего грузиться не будет. В конце статьи приведены ссылки на скачивание и порядок создания загрузочной флешки.
🌗 ReactOS 系統初步探討 WDDM：邁向現代顯示驅動模型
➤ 解析 WDDM 在 ReactOS 上的初步實現與挑戰
✤ https://reactos.org/blogs/investigating-wddm/
本文深入探討了 ReactOS 專案在支援 Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 方面的初步研究。作者詳細解析了 WDDM 的演進、其與舊版 XDDM 的差異，以及在 ReactOS 中實現 WDDM 的技術細節。研究重點在於如何讓 ReactOS 的現有 XDDM 驅動模型與 WDDM 的新架構協同工作，並成功讓基本的 WDDM 驅動程式（如 BasicDisplay）在 ReactOS 上運行，甚至初步支援了部分 Windows 7 NVIDIA 顯示驅動的 2D 功能。這項工作為 ReactOS 未來支援更現代化的顯示硬體奠定了基礎。
+ 這篇文章對 WDDM 的解釋非常清晰，尤其是在 ReactOS 這個非主流的環境下進行研究，更顯得不易。期待後續能看到更多

Veo que ReactOS sigue ahí poco a poco mejorando, puede que todavía no sea una alternativa real, pero me parece un proyecto interesante
It worked👍
#linuxmint running on my 15 years old HP laptop w/o UEFI complained about an BIOS error and suggested to ask the BIOS vendor for fixes.
I found the BIOS software for this model which required windows to run.
Hmmmm🤔
This morning I saw a post mentioning #reactos and I thought: wow, lets try it.
After several crashes I removed the mouse, disconnected the second monitor but put the USB stick with the BIOS software in the second USB slot and booted #reactos from the first.
I was finally able to update the BIOS successfully😁
The software came as an .exe file. It contained another .exe file. I unpacked it with #ArchiveManager into a subdirectory so that the directory structure incl. Insydeflash.exe was visible. Put all on an USB stick and called Insydeflash directly. Success👍😁
