WEBVTT

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:09.840
what you doing i'm looking at react os react to this

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:15.480
i thought i never heard of it it's uh open source reverse engineering

00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.480
of Windows

00:00:17.680 --> 00:00:21.520
how have i never heard of this

00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:29.039
and how have you never heard of our sponsors for today's video freshbooks

00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:46.000
have that linked below

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.879
this is fun wow fonts look like total garbage i forgot what fonts were like

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:58.719
before what's it called clear view yeah clear clear type sound right

00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:01.600
this is horrible react os is a free and

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:05.680
open source operating system for AMD 64 personal computers intended to be binary

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.400
compatible with computer programs and device drivers made for Windows server

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.479
2003 and later versions of Windows so you can even run drivers that were

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:18.479
designed for Windows and they reverse engineered this thing and somehow it

00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:23.840
still exists without microsoft bombing it into oblivion yeah it actually

00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:25.520
started back in i think it's 1996 as a

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.320
project called free win and i think the first release of rac2s

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:32.880
proper was 1998 and they've been going ever since then it has nothing to do

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

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:42.479
they've been at this 24 years

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:44.479
and this is still version

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:48.640
0.4.12 alpha yes

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

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.479
it looks really weird to me it's kind of like a

00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:02.719
combination of Windows 2000 and like uh like a more modern Windows

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:05.920
70 looking like blue gradient thing going on with the

00:02:04.399 --> 00:02:08.479
with like the menu bar at the top in fact how do i even

00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:15.520
oh weird like firefox looks really different i swear you can run firefox on

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:19.120
anything oh wow it's glitchy already uh

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.040
re react os

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:26.319
how do you minimize something is that it's not minimize hey

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

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

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:41.599
we uh can we line up the icons it doesn't work i see that wonderful

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

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

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.599
through the installation process okay this has a very Windows xp vibe to it

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:58.959
yeah remember when Windows setup looked like that i know right so press enter to

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:02.319
install yep okay enter to continue

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

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:11.760
yeah it actually supports butter fs is that okay can i can i use butterfest

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

00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.640
no oh right wait what this blows my mind so

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:24.239
this is a completely scratch-built kernel where they're

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:28.959
trying to reverse engineer the Windows kernel yeah

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

00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:37.200
pour it in whatever the crap you want basically yeah

00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:41.680
in fact they don't fully support ndfs right because ntfs would be like

00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:46.560
very very deep you can run it off a RAM disk

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

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

00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:59.519
know i've never tried that that would be so cool

00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:02.080
and totally dumb it's totally different it's small enough it could potentially

00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:07.599
work they even borrowed things from Windows that are stupid

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:12.640
like the stupid random string of characters after the computer why

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

00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:20.799
you're going to do at exactly the same time yeah with exactly the same name

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:26.080
okay so there's some devices that are missing drivers install automatically oh

00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:30.320
couldn't found okay what my computer property managed

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:33.919
hardware device management that's how i used to do it

00:04:31.840 --> 00:04:37.520
cool these other devices here can we just go get drivers for them yeah

00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:43.120
actually uh since we have a network connection we can just use the app store

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:47.600
the app store the application manager well yeah it's like a

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:52.960
software distribution virtualbox uses the ac97 driver there okay so i can i

00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:56.720
just grab that and then what um

00:04:54.479 --> 00:04:59.120
top left get it

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

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

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:16.479
specific location include this path uh my documents wraps downloads inf next

00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:19.360
wait that didn't work why didn't that work

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

00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:26.479
very often because it doesn't like to actually copy the files that it needs so

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

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:35.039
to the c drive under the react os folder not the Windows folder

00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:38.639
right and we're going to paste it in here and

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:41.840
that's how we do it it's

00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:44.639
not like that for everything okay some things that have installers that put

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:49.199
things in the right place will work but this was just a straight inf and unfortunately

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

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:58.400
ntos kernel.exe yeah

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

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:08.240
this happens with butter fast oh but worse things happen with fat 32 trust me

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:10.319
oh so butter fs is the better option yes

00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:14.479
okay so we're re-importing the disc because we had that one blue screen and

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

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

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:26.319
is that when it's working it is really cool it's just that we

00:06:24.080 --> 00:06:30.400
happened to run into some issues it's exploring time then right sure have

00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:34.160
a look around see what looks familiar what doesn't okay my network places

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:38.080
looks familiar yeah i've got a couple of uh shared drivers oh backslash

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:42.479
oh that's because canadian multilingual oh okay so we need

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.199
to change our keyboard uh settings control panel

00:06:43.919 --> 00:06:51.360
keyboard hardware properties that's incorrect even on

00:06:48.960 --> 00:06:56.560
Windows just let me figure it out okay what you have to reboot to change the

00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:58.400
language yeah don't don't reboot what no

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

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:03.840
want to reboot for no reason

00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:12.960
maybe click in the white space and hit f5

00:07:10.960 --> 00:07:17.759
or right click and refresh or something maybe it wants something samba instead

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:21.120
maybe it wants hostname maybe it wants something not password protected is this

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:24.479
supposed to work um i didn't get it to work

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:30.240
okay that's fine okay so we can look at some of the pre-included applications

00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:34.160
right yeah so like accessories administrative tools um i did install a

00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:38.639
couple of these so okay solitaire

00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:42.000
it's got solitaire wow i'm not actually any good at solitaire i

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

00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:48.160
restart until you have three eighths is showing yeah

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:52.479
yeah if you were able to speed run solitaire that'd be

00:07:50.960 --> 00:07:57.680
17 seconds oh that's fine i got that spade i got

00:07:54.400 --> 00:08:00.000
that spade hey we making progress boys

00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:03.759
watch me freaking win this i'm actually doing pretty well here i wonder if it

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:07.840
has the same win animation well that's actually why i'm doing this

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

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

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:20.800
some more cards okay uh am i back in this

00:08:19.039 --> 00:08:25.759
dang it i thought i was back in it and i wasn't

00:08:23.520 --> 00:08:28.720
oh wow everything just like stacks up along the bottom it's been a while since

00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:33.120
i've seen that okay games wine mine

00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:41.159
look i know how to play this game

00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:51.519
smh s-u-h what s-u-h nothin

00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:55.839
oh crap i'm stuck okay there's a way to figure this out

00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:55.839
this one and this one

00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:06.080
okay all right what else we got programs

00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:08.720
winrar runs yep that's sweet vlc no way

00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:12.560
a character map okay

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

00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:19.970
doesn't do anything

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:28.240
all right what what did you expect

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:34.560
what indeed so we tried to put our secondary steam

00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:35.440
drive onto our clean one that does boot

00:09:34.560 --> 00:09:39.920
and now it doesn't

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

00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:45.839
installed so it's a blank blank slate

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:50.720
okay all right well we've abandoned the cooking show strategy where the cake is

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

00:09:52.560 --> 00:09:57.920
the video yeah um

00:09:56.399 --> 00:10:02.000
right i need to install the guest additions which you can do it's straight

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

00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:12.880
our network shares as a drive in the vm using oracle virtualbox um so we're

00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:18.240
going to finally address that halo folder that was on the desktop of the

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:20.560
ones that he had pre-prepared

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.320
assuming come on i just want to do the halo thing i

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

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:35.200
last this was working this was all working they all saw it was

00:10:29.839 --> 00:10:35.200
working seconds ago all of this was

00:10:35.839 --> 00:10:40.600
can i get into regular mode no it's gone now

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

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:57.360
i'm the apologist for this thing hey which one is this

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

00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:03.279
hand i want to play halo okay

00:11:09.920 --> 00:11:15.279
oh i i know what's going on for the sake of

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.160
everyone's sanity i haven't scaled

00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:20.160
oh

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

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:31.279
screen instead of all like having everything super small it helps the editing team sanity

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.680
anyway oh their sanity not the viewers sanity well i mean it could be theirs

00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:39.760
too you know if the viewers cared about the editing

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

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

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

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:58.079
playable oh wait no i can't i

00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:01.680
i can't turn past that point

00:11:58.079 --> 00:12:03.360
um okay must go only forward to be clear

00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:08.800
the mouse thing is only because this is a vm okay well it runs

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:13.680
it's not the newest game or anything but it ran which is i guess impressive

00:12:10.800 --> 00:12:16.800
that's a directx game running on not Windows

00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:20.720
everything else about the experience is absolutely horrible and i'll be floored

00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:27.040
if these guys ever get out of alpha because Linux has made so much progress

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:29.120
on gaming and is infinitely better than

00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:33.920
this in every other possible way to the point where it's infinitely better in

00:12:30.800 --> 00:12:36.160
now every way but hey cool

00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:39.440
um i'm glad i tried it i can't believe i've never heard of it and i can't

00:12:37.760 --> 00:12:45.200
believe you guys have never heard of our sponsor that's the same segway you used last

00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:47.600
time is it really yeah

00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:51.519
our sponsor squarespace you think you don't need a website well you do no

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:56.880
matter what you need a website for whether it's to put up pictures of your

00:12:53.760 --> 00:12:59.839
cat for the world to enjoy or to you

00:12:56.880 --> 00:13:04.880
know promote your operating system that probably nobody legitimately actually

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:08.560
uses squarespace lets you do it they've got tons of great features so if you

00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:12.240
want to open a business online selling products they've got you covered there

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:16.880
if you want to promote your expo our site for ltx expo was built using
