![]() Having the platform up and running, they could then call developers to contribute new user mode applications. They would write the OS to comply with the API and not try to copy any bug or quirk. If rather than trying to launch a sort of standalone Windows emulator, React OS really strived to become an OS on it's own, its crew would just focus on binary driver compatibility and not software. In other words, not even Windows implements the Windows API perfectly and many existing programs depends on that specific implementation. Difference is that they expect to run existing software and the problem with existing software is that it often depends on bugs and quirks to run as intended. Problem with ReactOS is precisely that they are trying to clone Windows, instead of launching an operating system based on it. Cloning Windows is just a pretext to clone commercial software development model. (.) it could trigger a bit more interest and technical/financial contributions from Windows users in search of an alternative to the horrible Win 10. ![]() That's why a Linux distribution never matches the quality level of a real OS.įri 5:21 pmWhat's needed is an actual Windows clone, conceived from the ground up as a replica of William Gates' operating system. Make it any more specific and the support base shrinks exponentially. Western individualistic mentality prevents them from understanding that the strength of a collective effort is that it doesn't strive to please anyone in particular, but to be useful for all, and thus be a natural recipient of support from all. They do not understand that operating systems are, in essence, collective efforts. Linux nerds may have have computing knowledge way above the typical PC user, but they do not have strong social skills. Lack of standardization and fragmentation of efforts is Linux's Achilles heel. That's why, even to this day, it's hard to deploy binary drivers and applications in Linux: you never know what to expect. Windows has a standardized API and structure Linux does not. Linux is not an operating system in the same sense Windows is. ![]() It does make it feel more toy-like to me, just a lot of screwing around, even though it also enables me to do certain things with my hardware that I couldn't on Windows. I think Linux actually has too many distros, which makes it hard to use for enthusiasts for me, ones that aren't masters. Qubes OS leverages Xen-based virtualization to allow for the creation and management of isolated compartments called qubes.'įri 2:43 amI am of the opinion that Windows has a sort of simplicity to it, compared to Linux. 'Qubes OS is a free and open-source, security-oriented operating system for single-user desktop computing. Okay hopefully I'll see what Qubes can actually offer me in that regard around New Year's break. Something that React OS wanted to provide but limited to a Qubes OS sandbox. So what I'd really like is a decent Windows environment within Qubes OS. So say some bit of malware cannot contaminate anything beyond that OS normally. Each app sort of comes with its own micro-os. It should be able to provide the highest degree of isolation between running apps. In my understanding Qubes OS is XEN hypervisor adapted for desktop use. Don't want to put it onto lower-spec machines to avoid disappointment. What I do have some hopes of is Qubes OS. With all due respect is Bolgen anything really to pay attention to? From a quick look it seems like another Linux distribution? We have Ubuntu for that
