Holy shit, there's a FOSS reverse engineered operating system based on windows when it was good (up through 7). This is the perfect solution, nobody has to use winjeet 10 and nobody has to use linux. Why isn't anyone talking about this? It's been under steady development so it's likely going to be finished soon.
>>107737482Yeah, the whole reactos thing seems like some retarded university research project not intended for real world usage.Despite being based in Russia they feel the need to follow American copyrights. They basically don't know what the fuck they're doing and it's a dead, irrelevant project. I don't think it even works on real hardware.>What they should have done is developed each module to 100% before touching anything elseAgree
>>107737482>What they should have done is developed each module to 100% before touching anything else. And they should have tested each individual dll separately dropped into a win2k3 install. Had they done this they could have had it done 10 times over by now. Windows is not that complex.Then why haven't you built your own OS already?
>>107736901According to protondb it already fails at playing kirikiri engine vns(yuzusoft, marmalade, a majority of vns) without artifacts in at least some configurations
>>107737535>I don't think it even works on real hardware.It does, if said hardware is a 30 year old Dell Dimension or some equally old Packard Bell.
>>107736641everone here knows about it, it's rarely mentioned because it has been in alpha for the last 20 years and progresses slowly
Is it actually better than just using the web chat interface?

>>107736581>As as I can tell running it, it is limited to the folder you run itIt isn't. I had Claude enter a directory one above and start populating shit.> incessantly asks if it is allowed to run commands,It does this to a retarded degree though. >>107736259It is much nicer. I've had it spun up projects for me very quickly. If the project is small and simple it can slam dunk. Evem. Better if you skeleton out your architecture first.However if the project is sufficiently large or complex it's still retarded. I had it try and do disassembly ASM docs of an NES game. It told me it was done 6 times when it wasn't. Then the same thing when porting to C. I got it to finally render the main menu of a game with the right palette, sprites, and text. It couldn't get the cursor or music right though

>>107737590Depends on price of 5060 ti 16gb. If it's 50 dollars or less difference go with that. Not worth paying anymore than that though they perform the same basically like 5% or less depending on the game in either one's favor.
>>107737633okay i'll look into some other avenues first before replacing it, thanks
>>107737592if you're willing to drop settings when necessary you'll be more than fine. The most common gpu on steam hw survey is still a 3060 and it's growing not declining. In 4 years there MIGHT be a gpu on par with a 5060 ti leading the charts but it wouldn't even surprise me if it was something worse.
RGB QD-OLED UPDATE:https://x.com/TFTCentral/status/2006802343917138336>To clarify. The sub pixels are standing upright like pillars, vertically. They are aligned from left to right RGB which I suppose you’d call horizontal layout. Same as an LCD = RGB stripe This “V stripe” naming scheme and the random pics from the MSI teaser are confusing thingsFar-right is the next-gen panel structure not the vertical middle illustration floating in some leaks despite the "V Stripe" name Sammy went with for the tech. We've dodged a bullet. Still unhappy that neither LG nor Samsung's "Stripe RGB" offerings will have equally sized subpixels.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Saarnix, is in fact, VNU/Saarnix, or as I've recently taken to calling it, VNU plus Saarnix.

How do I cope with getting old?
>>107736084you have teeth?
>>107735939idk anon. I wonder too. how do I cope with getting old and not having lived my life at its fullest because I had a shitty family, a retarded narcissistic single mom that made me work occasionally since ~6 to buy my own shit, and no one to tell me to get as far from her as possibly, to find a gf and to enjoy life?
>>107735939i count my age in hexi'm still a teen in it
>>107735946Chris Hansen disagrees.
>>107736520>not having lived my life at its fullestThis is a myth and chasing it will only leave you even more unfulfilled.Find purpose in God and everything will look fresh again.
I'm 95% sold on crippling my Apple hardware with Linux autism. I'd lose ~35% of battery life. But I hate Mac OS with a passion.Please, convince me not to.
>>107736561>And why do you still buy Apple hardware?Linus torvalds bought macbooks for his kids (he installed linux) and he even uses an m series macbook running Linux. The hardware is good, the software is just aids.
>>107736412>Please, convince me not to.That's the only way I'd ever consider using a Mac, so I say go right ahead.
>>107736808>The hardware is goodIt's not really distinguishable from any other high end laptop chipset. What matters is software.>Muh battery lifeYeah a 70Wh battery and hyper aggressive power management software will do that.If by hardware you mean that fat fucking battery, sure. The actual silicon isn't special though.>Muh less heatProbably the one real advantage the hardware has, especially for a laptop, so I'll grant you this one too.>Please, convince me not to.If it's newer than an M2 it's not going to work very well, if at all.It's also based on Fedora, so it's really just going to be even shittier than MacOS.GPU drivers work, but suck because Apple's hardware isn't designed for Kronos APIs.
>hates mac os with a passion>still owns apple hardwareThis does not make a lick of sense to me desu.
>>107736808Linus Torvalds is an authority on good hardware because... he reads emails and kernel code without syntax highlighting all day?

There is so much shit on the Play Store now that it's impossible to know if you want an application or not and Google has made the discovery EVEN FUCKING WORSE in the attempt to have you check the store daily.

>>107732464>what specifically is brokenMainly cursor warping, that's a feature that Wayland doesn't care to implement, but also window positioning apparently:https://www.kicad.org/blog/2025/06/KiCad-and-Wayland-Support/Personally I run a relatively small 4K monitor set to 250% Scale in System Settings (also KDE and Wayland for the moment), and I frequently get issues with KiCAD and its cursor positioning (cursor appears to be in X position, is actually in Y position). Anything 200% or above causes this problem. When I put stock Fedora and its Gnome spin onto a flash drive and tested KiCAD, I got the same issue both times. Going to the flatpak fixed this for the most part, but I still have issues zooming to an undesired coordinate, and the render resolution is diminished with no openGL instance found. I'm not certain all of my problems are caused by Wayland not playing ball, but at the very least if I can remove it from the equation their support staff might actually pay attention to me. They also said "arch can be weird" so that's also a variable I'd like to be rid of by going to something closer to Ubuntu, Debian, or Fedora.If you have a few minutes, set your monitor's scale to over 200% and see if you get any problems.
>>107737433Why would you intentionally buy hardware that needs anything but 100 or 200% scaling?
>>107737573If they have some 13" laptop I can see that (great little portable machines but always a nightmare with their displays).They said monitor though. I agree with you. I don't know why you'd intentionally buy such a small 4K monitor like that. Must have been a mistake.

And not with Ubuntu since Canonical fully supports ZFS.This would be a concern with Arch (since it's rolling and gets new kernels fast) or Fedora (new releases happen as frequently as Ubuntu but without the commitment to support ZFS).
>>107736569Kubuntu 25.10No matter what you choose, create a swap file 2-4 GB in size, you'll definitely need it.
