1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,840
what you doing i'm looking at react os react to this

2
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:15,480
i thought i never heard of it it's uh open source reverse engineering

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,480
of Windows

4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,520
how have i never heard of this

5
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:29,039

have that linked below

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,879
this is fun wow fonts look like total garbage i forgot what fonts were like

10
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:58,719
before what's it called clear view yeah clear clear type sound right

11
00:00:55,120 --> 00:01:01,600
this is horrible react os is a free and

12
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,680
open source operating system for AMD 64 personal computers intended to be binary

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,400
compatible with computer programs and device drivers made for Windows server

14
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:14,479
2003 and later versions of Windows so you can even run drivers that were

15
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,479
designed for Windows and they reverse engineered this thing and somehow it

16
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:23,840
still exists without microsoft bombing it into oblivion yeah it actually

17
00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:25,520
started back in i think it's 1996 as a

18
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:30,320
project called free win and i think the first release of rac2s

19
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,880
proper was 1998 and they've been going ever since then it has nothing to do

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:38,960
with like the data leak or anything like that it's it's just straight up reverse engineered so you mean to tell me

21
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,479
they've been at this 24 years

22
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,479
and this is still version

23
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:48,640
0.4.12 alpha yes

24
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,759
okay well i guess let's see how far they've gotten i mean right off the bat

25
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,479
it looks really weird to me it's kind of like a

26
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:02,719
combination of Windows 2000 and like uh like a more modern Windows

27
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,920
70 looking like blue gradient thing going on with the

28
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:08,479
with like the menu bar at the top in fact how do i even

29
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:15,520
oh weird like firefox looks really different i swear you can run firefox on

30
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,120
anything oh wow it's glitchy already uh

31
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,040
re react os

32
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:26,319
how do you minimize something is that it's not minimize hey

33
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,680
i know how to use Windows 98 sc suckers i'm going to put my recycle bin over

34
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,640
here because that's what the cool kids do i mean that's what Windows xp did can

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,599
we uh can we line up the icons it doesn't work i see that wonderful

36
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,640
holy crap you put halo on it okay i'm sure this is a guided experience what do

37
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:49,680
you want me to do should i just poke at it first or do you want me to you know why don't we shut this one down and go

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,599
through the installation process okay this has a very Windows xp vibe to it

39
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:58,959
yeah remember when Windows setup looked like that i know right so press enter to

40
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,319
install yep okay enter to continue

41
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:08,720
yeah it's just telling you that it's an alpha oh it sure is format as butterfest

42
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:11,760
yeah it actually supports butter fs is that okay can i can i use butterfest

43
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,080
yeah you can use butter reference okay cool why not so it's Linux based then no

44
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,640
no oh right wait what this blows my mind so

45
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:24,239
this is a completely scratch-built kernel where they're

46
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,959
trying to reverse engineer the Windows kernel yeah

47
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:33,440
but then you can run butter fs because if you have the source code you can just

48
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,200
pour it in whatever the crap you want basically yeah

49
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:41,680
in fact they don't fully support ndfs right because ntfs would be like

50
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:46,560
very very deep you can run it off a RAM disk

51
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:52,000
like you can just boot so you can it'll just take your os off of your storage

52
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:55,920
medium throw it all onto the RAM disc and then start it up i actually don't

53
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,519
know i've never tried that that would be so cool

54
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:02,080
and totally dumb it's totally different it's small enough it could potentially

55
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:07,599
work they even borrowed things from Windows that are stupid

56
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,640
like the stupid random string of characters after the computer why

57
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,760
why is that there well so if you set up two reactos systems because that's what

58
00:04:14,239 --> 00:04:20,799
you're going to do at exactly the same time yeah with exactly the same name

59
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:26,080
okay so there's some devices that are missing drivers install automatically oh

60
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:30,320
couldn't found okay what my computer property managed

61
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,919
hardware device management that's how i used to do it

62
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:37,520
cool these other devices here can we just go get drivers for them yeah

63
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:43,120
actually uh since we have a network connection we can just use the app store

64
00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:47,600
the app store the application manager well yeah it's like a

65
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:52,960
software distribution virtualbox uses the ac97 driver there okay so i can i

66
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:56,720
just grab that and then what um

67
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:59,120
top left get it

68
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,560
okay so now we need to go find the driver do you want to know how we do this

69
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,360
can i try and figure it out sure let's figure it out install a driver from a

70
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:16,479
specific location include this path uh my documents wraps downloads inf next

71
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,360
wait that didn't work why didn't that work

72
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,880
all right you can show me how to do it okay uh well that doesn't seem to work

73
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,479
very often because it doesn't like to actually copy the files that it needs so

74
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,280
what we're going to do is we're just going to copy these then we're going to go

75
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,039
to the c drive under the react os folder not the Windows folder

76
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:38,639
right and we're going to paste it in here and

77
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,840
that's how we do it it's

78
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,639
not like that for everything okay some things that have installers that put

79
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:49,199
things in the right place will work but this was just a straight inf and unfortunately

80
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:55,520
that doesn't work very well here okay so let's go back to the one that you already had kind of set up then okay

81
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,400
ntos kernel.exe yeah

82
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:02,720
so remember how you said oh is it okay for us to use butter fs yeah sometimes

83
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:08,240
this happens with butter fast oh but worse things happen with fat 32 trust me

84
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,319
oh so butter fs is the better option yes

85
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:14,479
okay so we're re-importing the disc because we had that one blue screen and

86
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:18,560
now it won't boot yes this seems really finicky is it better on bare metal oh no

87
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,319
no no it's still an accomplishment to boot it on bare metal well the thing is

88
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,319
is that when it's working it is really cool it's just that we

89
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:30,400
happened to run into some issues it's exploring time then right sure have

90
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:34,160
a look around see what looks familiar what doesn't okay my network places

91
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:38,080
looks familiar yeah i've got a couple of uh shared drivers oh backslash

92
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:42,479
oh that's because canadian multilingual oh okay so we need

93
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,199
to change our keyboard uh settings control panel

94
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:51,360
keyboard hardware properties that's incorrect even on

95
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:56,560
Windows just let me figure it out okay what you have to reboot to change the

96
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:58,400
language yeah don't don't reboot what no

97
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,840
oh it just prompt it just asks you if you want to like hey it's chill you just

98
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,840
want to reboot for no reason

99
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,960
maybe click in the white space and hit f5

100
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:17,759
or right click and refresh or something maybe it wants something samba instead

101
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,120
maybe it wants hostname maybe it wants something not password protected is this

102
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,479
supposed to work um i didn't get it to work

103
00:07:24,639 --> 00:07:30,240
okay that's fine okay so we can look at some of the pre-included applications

104
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,160
right yeah so like accessories administrative tools um i did install a

105
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,639
couple of these so okay solitaire

106
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:42,000
it's got solitaire wow i'm not actually any good at solitaire i

107
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,120
believe there is actually a method to the madness but i don't know what it is

108
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,160
restart until you have three eighths is showing yeah

109
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:52,479
yeah if you were able to speed run solitaire that'd be

110
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:57,680
17 seconds oh that's fine i got that spade i got

111
00:07:54,400 --> 00:08:00,000
that spade hey we making progress boys

112
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,759
watch me freaking win this i'm actually doing pretty well here i wonder if it

113
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,840
has the same win animation well that's actually why i'm doing this

114
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:11,520
no i'd say this is not just because i don't respect the time of the people

115
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:16,960
here trying to do their work so i need to get six seven eight and i can reveal

116
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:20,800
some more cards okay uh am i back in this

117
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:25,759
dang it i thought i was back in it and i wasn't

118
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,720
oh wow everything just like stacks up along the bottom it's been a while since

119
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:33,120
i've seen that okay games wine mine

120
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:41,159
look i know how to play this game

121
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:51,519
smh s-u-h what s-u-h nothin

122
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:55,839
oh crap i'm stuck okay there's a way to figure this out

123
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,839
this one and this one

124
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:06,080
okay all right what else we got programs

125
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:08,720
winrar runs yep that's sweet vlc no way

126
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:12,560
a character map okay

127
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:16,290
hey this word no it doesn't scroll so it has a sideways scrolling bar but it

128
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,970
doesn't do anything

129
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:28,240
all right what what did you expect

130
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:34,560
what indeed so we tried to put our secondary steam

131
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,440
drive onto our clean one that does boot

132
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:39,920
and now it doesn't

133
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,480
okay so we have this other one what's reactive us blank that's the one you

134
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,839
installed so it's a blank blank slate

135
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:50,720
okay all right well we've abandoned the cooking show strategy where the cake is

136
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,240
actually pre-baked and we're now on the os that i installed at the beginning of

137
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:57,920
the video yeah um

138
00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:02,000
right i need to install the guest additions which you can do it's straight

139
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:07,680
up the Windows guest editions so i'm just gonna go ahead and do that what Anthony's also doing is mounting one of

140
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:12,880
our network shares as a drive in the vm using oracle virtualbox um so we're

141
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:18,240
going to finally address that halo folder that was on the desktop of the

142
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,560
ones that he had pre-prepared

143
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:24,320
assuming come on i just want to do the halo thing i

144
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,839
should have just done it right away because i was like oh i'll save that for

145
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:35,200
last this was working this was all working they all saw it was

146
00:10:29,839 --> 00:10:35,200
working seconds ago all of this was

147
00:10:35,839 --> 00:10:40,600
can i get into regular mode no it's gone now

148
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:54,079
i did nothing to it i restarted it that's it i'm getting frustrated now and

149
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,360
i'm the apologist for this thing hey which one is this

150
00:10:55,839 --> 00:11:03,279
this is the new one that i just reimported so it is set up it has the

151
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,279
hand i want to play halo okay

152
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:15,279
oh i i know what's going on for the sake of

153
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:20,160
everyone's sanity i haven't scaled

154
00:11:17,839 --> 00:11:20,160
oh

155
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,600
so why does that help people's sanity so they can actually see what's on the

156
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:31,279
screen instead of all like having everything super small it helps the editing team sanity

157
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,680
anyway oh their sanity not the viewers sanity well i mean it could be theirs

158
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:39,760
too you know if the viewers cared about the editing

159
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:45,680
oh wow yeah the mouse is a little on the broken side yeah that might be fixable

160
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:50,160
uh how uh just like a full screen setting yeah it's like a thing well it's

161
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,360
like that now yeah okay now it's up in the top left corner but hey it's

162
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:58,079
playable oh wait no i can't i

163
00:11:54,399 --> 00:12:01,680
i can't turn past that point

164
00:11:58,079 --> 00:12:03,360
um okay must go only forward to be clear

165
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:08,800
the mouse thing is only because this is a vm okay well it runs

166
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:13,680
it's not the newest game or anything but it ran which is i guess impressive

167
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:16,800
that's a directx game running on not Windows

168
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:20,720
everything else about the experience is absolutely horrible and i'll be floored

169
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:27,040
if these guys ever get out of alpha because Linux has made so much progress

170
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:29,120
on gaming and is infinitely better than

171
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,920
this in every other possible way to the point where it's infinitely better in

172
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,160
now every way but hey cool

173
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:39,440

i mean no offense like it's super cool

194
00:13:58,959 --> 00:14:05,279
that you got even this far but i mean academically it's pretty good and they

195
00:14:02,959 --> 00:14:10,160
have been updating the wine staff as well so that's part of the reason why

196
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:15,120
wine has gotten so good it's just kind of crazy it's just like you wouldn't

197
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,120
actually use it that's all no
