A post about Windows being shit? On Lemmy? I wonder what the comments are going to be about. Maybe someone will have found an alternative system to use.
Have you tried the new update? It actually isn’t all that bad. It is terrible from a security perspective but if you just want to play some Win XP games it works fine offline.
I think reactOS is perfect for old terminals that use windows XP. Like PoS and other.
I mean using XP is already terrible for security and many government pay Microsoft for support to continue using them on dumb terminals. I don’t even know if they are sending security updates anymore.
But, If they can setup ReactOS to run those apps (after testing they’re fully compatible). Air gap them from the internet, they could be an alternative path forward for a lot of old hardware. At least reactOS will get updates, unlike Windows XP.

Have you tried TempleOS by chance?
Or PonyOS
That’s… impressive.
Have you heard about our lord and savior Terry Davis?
He died for our sins…
ReactOS /s
Seriously, you know the answer.

That could be a slogan for WINE (and all game-oriented forks).
Wine doesn’t target old games
It might work or it might not
Do you mean DOSbox old or is there a support gap between the two?
DOS box is DOS
Interestingly enough you can run it under React OS

The big issue is that React OS very unstable. It has gotten much better in recent years but it is not even close to stable let alone production grade.
Best option is to replace 20+ year old hardware
