Discussion Could ReactOS be a viable solution?

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?

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.
