  • The question is, what applications would run in ReactOS that wouldn’t run through Proton/Wine? Some applications require relatively obscure userspace quirks and tricks, in which case it doesn’t matter if they’re running through Linux+Wine or ReactOS+Wine if Wine doesn’t implement them.

    Other than that, the rootkit anticheat that makes so many games not run on Linux are written by companies that have a near hostility towards Linux and open computing in general. If some version of their anticheat happened to work in ReactOS, they’d patch that out super fast. Same with DRM stuff.

    Linux and Windows are, I think, too different conceptually to copy things from one to another. And I’m not sure what Linux-compatible innovation that ReactOS would have that hasn’t already been thought of. Performance of the Windows kernel is, at best, average.




  • Even disregarding the native Linux port… The Steam client is actually pretty decent. Any client would have to implement things like library navigation, storage management, Steam input support, the overlay, cloud sync and so on. And honestly, I don’t think anyone can reach the amount of features that Steam has.

    Its probably why most people don’t actually use things like Lutris or Gnome Games to launch Steam games.

    It’s actually harder to detect that. The * is expanded before the arguments are sent to rm, so it just sees a list of directories like /bin /usr /dev /sbin /home and so on.

    You could implement logic to detect that case, but at that point you’re just playing whackamole.



  • Almost universally, any time there’s a power vacuum (whether in the first larger-than-tribes societies, or in societies where state power has become weak), the first authority figures that fill the power vacuum are dicks

    wielding real power, in ways that feel quite uncomfortable.

    Yes, it’s called feeling guilty about others calling out your attitude. Most people who aren’t power seeking assholes experience that feeling regularly and have learned to deal with it.

    Couples therapists say they can tell within a few minutes if a couple is worth working with or not: if it’s anger they’re displaying, then that’s something that can be worked through. If it’s dismissiveness, all hope is lost.

    Imagine getting told by a couples therapist that they can’t see your relationship working out… And then you go on a big rant saying how you should still be together?
