For now im care mainly about Intel USB3 driver, which were in development, it not news for years, it should be also useful for Windows Xp.

I remember like 13 years ago when I first discovered this project, it was exciting, but after so many years linux and everything has moved so much...

Once flatpaks becomes mainstream on Linux, you'd be thankful having an opportunity like ReactOS.

It is unlikely that any packaging format will ever become mainstream on Linux... having a package format yes but having a defacto standard is unlikely. Then again LP has successfully crammed several of his crapbrained ideas down most Linux users throats in the past.

I have the same thoughts.

What is LP, Linkin Park

What is LP, Linkin Park

I wish. In the operating system fsckup game, the current score is:

Linkin Park: 0
Lennart Poettering: 1

So by these stats, I would rather an OS lead by Linkin Park

The sad truth is that ReactOS should have been more relevant than ever. With the privacy fiasco that Win10 is , there really is a need for an alternative Windows out there. Some companies (the one I work for included) still have a bias towards Windows in general, because the management guys lacks properly technical understanding and believe the fud that Windows is a "professional" operating system. Well it is not, it is a non-flexible mess with artificial restrictions that has now turned into a gossiping privacy disaster. ReactOS could have been a viable alternative to Windows with the crap removed. Wish ReactOS the best of luck!

Wtf are all you trolling about systemd and flatpacks here. Go back to FreeBSD forums.
