    I’m not even sure if this is satire or not, but is that even doable? I mean I’ve tested both FreeDOS and ReactOS before, but do they play well together somehow?

    Side note, I’ve also tried KolibriOS before, amazing project for its tiny size, still have it on physical floppy disk right now even.

      That’s like asking if MS-DOS and WinNT work well together. I guess they can both rw off FAT32 and run on x86-32…

        Hey, there actually are NTFS drivers out there for MS-DOS/Win3.11, I’ve used that for data recovery when neither Windows NT nor Linux could access the partition.

        Very little surprises me anymore, and I have no idea what all tricks FreeDOS and ReactOS have up their sleeves.

        Gotcha, no worries 👍

        Future goal, emulate Linux (any version that might work) under KolibriOS.

        I think that’s actually doable, to some extent… 🤷‍♂️
