ReactOS: Half-Life läuft erstmals unter 'Open-Source Windows'

Das Community-Projekt ReactOS hat seit Jahrzehnten das Ziel, ein "Open-Source Windows" zu schaffen, das mit Programmen und Treibern kompatibel ist, die für Microsofts Betriebssystem entwickelt wurden. Jetzt hat man einen Meilenstein erreicht: Half-Life läuft.

🌖 「開源版 Windows」ReactOS 達成新里程碑:成功執行經典遊戲《半條命》
➤ 長期抗戰的開源計畫,向 Windows 二進位兼容目標邁出重要一步
https://www.phoronix.com/news/ReactOS-Running-Half-Life
經過長達 28 年的開發,致力於實現 Windows 二進位兼容性的開源作業系統 ReactOS 再創佳績。近日,該專案開發者於 X(原 Twitter)上宣佈,ReactOS 已能順利運行經典遊戲《半條命》(Half-Life)。儘管現今 Linux 平臺透過 Wine 已能良好支援該遊戲,但對於旨在模擬 Windows 核心架構的 ReactOS 而言,此次成功運行不僅證明瞭其底層相容性的提升,更是該專案長期抗戰中的重要里程碑。
+ 真是不可思議,這個專案竟然堅持了 28 年,看到它能跑《半條命》真的很感動,這是對開源精神最好的詮釋。
+ 雖然現在跑這款老遊戲意義不大,但對於 ReactOS 的架構開發來說,這證明瞭其系統呼叫(System Calls)

> Progress on ReactOS was very slow at first. Contributors had to first build a very basic NT-like kernel before they could develop drivers for it, then continue developing the kernel; not too dissimilar to the process of bootstrapping a new programming language.
