Fedora features the latest applications and hardware drivers thus, it’s perfect for those who like a stonish graphical user interface and a fresh environment.įedora is supported and maintained by an international community of engineers, designers, graphics, and users. My suggestion to developers is, if you find it interesting & worthy then take your time and contribute to the project at your best.This Linux distribution is one of the most interesting modern operating systems as an alternative to Microsoft Windows OS.ReactOS is in development stage now and is not suitable for daily use!.I would really like to use this OS if it works great, but let’s wait for some more time until they say ReactOS is ready for daily use. See them hereīelow is a video of screen-shots to show you how it looked at my end!Īccording to me, this is a great beginning of something that I never thought will ever exist. ReactOS website has plenty of screen-shots to show you. ReactOS definitely needs more robust development to be able to reach to the practicality benchmarks & improvements set by popular open-source operating systems we know. It also offers multiple desktops as we see in Ubuntu or Fedora. The installation process and post installation user interface look very similar to Windows. I purposely avoided installing it on my current hardware so that I do not disturb any ongoing projects, just in case anything goes wrong! Unfortunately because of this, I could not install any device driver nor any Windows software I am using. You can download installation ISO of ReactOs here. Final release size may vary as the project develops. You may download ReactOs Live cd here.Īs of now the ReactOS seems very lightweight and fast! Installation ISO which I downloaded is only 46.5 MB in size. But somehow I could not preview completely as few areas are yet to be implemented in a live cd version. I first downloaded the ReactOS Live CD to preview prior to the installation.

ReactOS is a free and open-source operating system based on the Windows NT architecture, providing support for existing applications and drivers, and an alternative to the current dominant consumer and server operating systems. So if you’re a software developer then you too can contribute for development of this OS. Sometimes a developer may feel like doing something about it, but one can not (unless works for MS). It happens so many times & we hate Windows for frequently annoying us. I am specifically writing this post to let all software developers know about it and take part in this project development if they can. Recently when I checked, I found that the development has come a long way since I first saw. Which means that you can install your existing Windows device drivers & softwares on this OS. This OS is based on Windows NT architecture. It also means for better quality, higher reliability, flexibility, lower cost, reviewing & contributing to the development process!įew days back I came across this new OS called ReactOS. We all know about free Linux based operating systems, free open-source office and graphics softwares, and so on! Open-source softwares are future of computing software! No doubt! But open-source does not only mean Free. This is a guest post by Tushar, if you like to write for Devils’ Workshop, do read Devils’ Workshop revenue sharing program.
