Release notes
The Wine development release 9.11 is now available.
What’s new in this release:
- C++ exception handling on ARM platforms.
- More DPI Awareness support improvements.
- Various bug fixes.
Oh well…
One day ReactOS will be able to run those just fine while Wine will still not deliver anything usable.
Have you ever used ReactOS? And tried to run something on it? I did, and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. Maybe it’s better now. I tried it three years ago. For me, ReactOS is just a toy with no useful applications. I know that ReactOS and Wine share a lot of common technologies, code or something, so they’re not competing projects, but rather they are making something good together. I doubt that these things will work on ReactOS but won’t on Wine.
Yes, I did, multiple times and yes, it isn’t pleasant but Wine isn’t either.
The thing is that there’s already a bunch of stuff that works fine in ReactOS but is still broken in Wine, particularly old Win32 APIs around since Windows 95 that should’ve been fixed by now.
Yes, but wine in general is simpler. ReactOS isn’t a ‘functional’ system, so you either have a dual-boot or virtual machine. It doesn’t compose well with your main system. Have you tried Bottles? A very simple and good-looking gtk frontend for Wine. They have a powerful default runner: “soda” .
I didn’t know that. I used ReactOS very little and was very disappointed with it. Maybe that’s why I have a skewed view. However, some time has passed; maybe it’s better now.
Yes, I did try bottles and soda with the same results. This is something low level that isn’t properly implemented or implemented at all.
