GRUB can boot almost everything from NTLDR to Linux, to XNU, to BSD, to self-withstanding utilities. Although it’s main wiki page does not say much about its features you can go to its discussion page where its changelog is shown and this thread about having the idea of having Grub by default in ReactOS to learn that:įreeLDR can just boot Windows NT, ReactOS, Linux and multiboot. Freeldrįreeldr is the open source loader for ReactOS. So many have ideas have arisen after seeing that video related to my own projects. Well, I’m going to stop because this seem to be an article inside another article. SuSE has taken a workaround by making a system that lets you build your application for several type of distributions and so on. I’m not sure what’s the Red Hat strategy towards developers but its many years of support operating system releases help a lot. You write once an application and it will work in the desktop, your tablet and your smartphone. Ubuntu is trying to do so with QT QML if I’m not mistaken. But if our objetive was to draw people to Gnu/Linux systems and not only its freedom you will need to do it the Microsoft way: Make it easier for developers. Compare that to the fragmentation in Gnu/Linux ecosystem.ĭon’t get me wrong, I love Gnu/Linux fragmentation because of the innovation that it draws. Giving binary compatibility for many years. That is one of the reasons why Windows has suceeded. That means that once you have the entire OS you will be able to use a whole set of well defined libraries. Probably the only thing that they borrow from upstream is wine. What Alex explains is that in Gnu/Linux systems the programs are adapted or taken from upstream releases but that they do all their programs and libraries from scratch instead. Somebody at Youtube complained about BSDs systems doing the same. They say the are probably the ones to do that in the open source world. Not only the kernel but the entire operating system. One of the interesting ideas is that they are developing the entire OS. Which was recorded at Google Montreal on October 2013, Alex Ionescu explains what ReactOS is and what they have achieved with it. I happen to have seen a Reactos talk video recently.
