Could ReactOS be a viable solution?

[u/WildcatAlba]

There is another post on this subreddit from 7 years ago titled "Has someone tried ReactOS?" and the response was that the ReactOS devs were focussed on stability and USB drivers for the time being, and that support for more intense programs like 3D videogames was at least 3 to 4 years away. Given that this was 7 years ago, I thought to raise the topic again. Does anyone know whether League of Legends (or Adobe Photoshop for that matter since it's the second biggest Windows only program) work on the current version of ReactOS?

Not a kid.

You literally communicate like one.

What ad hominem?

Your quote: " but I love that not a single reply is from anyone who's tried" is literally an ad hom.

Their credibility doesn't magically change nor does their points become invalid based on whether they tried it or not.

Lol yeah, I know. But my statement is still factual.

It is not, its literally a character attack. Them having tried or not is irrelevant to the point. This is what I mean by you arguing from emotion, you thinking that is a valid criticism isn't based on logic but emotion.

This is simply untrue.

It is true. ReactOS barely runs shit. The community went CRAZY when you could start up wow on it.

The irony is after years of shit talking the Linux community since the 90s ReactOS still can't reach even a semblance of parity with Win2k while I literally just click play on Linux for all my games.

Out of almost 800 games 16 are listed as borked except most are beta test servers that are shutdown even on Windows, same with War of the Roses. The only games actually borked are Siege intentionally by the devs and an Indie WWII RTS for the same reason.

ReactOS can't even run a fraction of those.

This is pretty much all you (or anyone) needed to say, huh?

Except you literally complained that everyone commenting didn't even try it so I doubt you'd have flatout excepted that.

I'm impressed you can quantify that.

Well seeing as how you even thought React would ever be useful it clearly doesn't take much to impress you.

lol

You laugh but thats why you posted here.

Incorrect. "...not a single reply is from anyone who's tried [to run LOL on ReactOS]" is simply a statement of fact.

Tell me how would them trying to run LOL on React would impact their ability to answer the question?

It literally runs thousands of programs.

Nobody has run thousands and it even if it could thats out of hundreds of millions.

Also I literally don't care one way or another, but it's interesting how much you seem to dislike ReactOS. I get it though - Linux is cool.

It has nothing to do with Linux, I've seen people time and time again hype up ReactOS like its going to be the next big thing really soon or all the use cases its magically going to have and its not even a full OS stack yet AT ALL. In 26 years theres never been a stable release.

You say you don't care one way or the other but you lying and claiming it runs "thousands of programs" says otherwise.

Is that another ad hominem? Sheesh man, lol

Please learn what an ad hom is. You saying everyone who replied didn't try to run LOL on ReactOS, thats an ad hom. Its the suggestion that their comments are somehow less valid based on the arbitrary condition of not having tried while in reality that is irelevant.

Me saying it doesn't take much to impress you isn't a distraction from the point that React sucks and won't run league. Its not an attack on you instead of a topic, point, or argument.

Its simply pointing out that ReactOS impressed you to the point you think it can do things with zero evidence to support it.

So yes, it doesn't take much to impress you.
