ReactOS Reviews & Product Details

ReactOS allows us to connect any Windows unit without any special library or program. But the newest thing is the compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 8 apps, compatibility that did not yet exist and that from this version will allow us to install certain applications and typical Windows 10 apps.

I mean if you Linux then it's good for you to use ReactOS if you do not know Linux commands then you will not like to use ReactOS ,so basically ReactOS is based on Linux Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its installation is very easy its can be installed with a mouse click and no cd are required for the installation and also configuration is very fast and system is also clean from junk and separately programs and easy to find and delete junk files and virus.

Basically some systems not to capable this os because its suitable new generation system os so its okay and its security issues are faced every time virus are detected and new software instalation not to easy because its showing the warning message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ReactOS is all about the porting of Windows applications to a Linux environment which gives the power of open source and freedom to users. Though the OS is not very much user-friendly, it has powerful options for customization, which makes it rather a better option to choose. If you ask me to choose Windows or ReactOS, I will go with ReactOS, since it is extremely developer-friendly, and I like to work in the development of the OS too.

The UI still looks like decades-old Windows XP. Which is very very bad for a better user experience. We could switch to KDE or GNOME for a better User experience. That would bring the power of Linux + Windows together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you want to run windows applications, but don't like the close source, privacy issues of windows, this is a good solution.

It is easy to use and install for anyone familiar with windows.

Look and feel similar to older version of windows, which many still prefer.

It's a cool project to check out and even support.

no cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not really windows just yet 😀

still in early development stages.

many applications won't run or install properly.

doesn't support all the hardware windows does

old look and feel (pro and a con)

not stable to use as main OS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ReactOS is free to use and has flexibility of opensource. So, we can expect great features in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface looks a bit odd and old. It would be nice if we get a feel of future while working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it has a bit of similarity in installation procedure; cause well, yeah I first tried installing in Virtualbox too so in truth, the guide will work just as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lets me use windows as open source. Of course, it's easy to install and as it gives the old look of windows system that is also familiar. If you are a windows user, then you can use it easily. and it's free !! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first thing is that it takes you to old-time and it doesn't support a few applications as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I really like the most is that there are many other Linux distributions as well, which try to look like windows, but they are not that compatible like Zorin, Ubuntu-mate, etc. And on the other hand, we have React OS, which is really compatible can be a complete replacement for Windows. It supports most of the applications I was working on my windows machine earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface can be upgraded. It looks I am working on Windows XP with the power of Windows 10 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of me the most helpful for me is:

- Virtual sandbox for safe development and browsing

- Free of license restrictions

- Free of charge

- Very small image file to setup ReactOS, something about several hundred megabytes only Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Not 100% polished and user friendly OS as Windows

- No x64 applications support, so you have to choose which version of app to install

- Also I had troubles with running Python on ReactOS - resolved only by installing earlier version of Python

- Hard to install on some specific devices, like Dell laptops. So you can spend several hours or even days on installing specific version of ReactOS on specific hardware. There are lots of videos on Youtube on resolving possible issues.

- No tools to check health of HDD/SDD Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
