Phoronix: ReactOS "Open-Source Windows" Shown Running On Valve's Steam Deck

As part of the effort for enabling UEFI support with ReactOS, an open-source operating system re-implementing binary compatibility with Microsoft Windows, a development build of ReactOS is up and running on Valve's Steam Deck handheld game console...

They should steal the color scheme from Steam to draw more attention to their project.

I did some digging for the KDE Theme by Valve (basically as seen above) -- and it looks like this may be it for those that want to testdrive it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/v...amos-theme-kde

I wonder if this UEFI bootloader for ReactOS could be used to boot the actual Windows OS without using bootmgfw.efi. AFAIK the only other bootloader that is capable of booting Windows directly is Quibble.

No, thanks.

No, thanks.

On my 2000-era Windows gaming PC, I still run the original Steam client (via an early steam server emulator) that looks like this before it went extra bloated looking around v2.

I quite like it, simple and clean. However, yes it would be quite imposing for the *whole* OS UI to look like this!

Lol, when I think of retro gaming, I'm thinking downloading shareware from a BBS, over a v.34 dial up modem. Then sending a check in the mail to the developer, who mails you back a couple of floppy disks.

Hah yes. I pretty much have a machine for every era. I find PC emulation to not quite be up to scratch for things like games.

For BBS-era, I actually have two DOS machines (it covered a large timeframe!). One for early DOS and one with a sickeningly fast 486!

The widgets are fine, but the colors…
