    I just tried compiling newest Qemu from Qemu git repo, and newest ReactOS 32bit nightly, it works great with networking support, with these instructions that work for any Debian or Ubuntu based Linux on any CPU:

  • Wekan

    The Open Source kanban (built with Meteor). Keep variable/table/field names camelCase. For translations, only add Pull Request changes to wekan/i18n/en.i18n.json , other translations are done at https://transifex.com/wekan/wekan only.

    No, Chrome only runs on newest amd64 Linux/Windows/Mac.

    For modern browser, there is compatible Firefox fork Mypal where older version works also on ReactOS. It can be installed on ReactOS 32bit from GUI package manager included in ReactOS, and I have also copied it to here:

    https://releases.wekan.team/mypal/

    When I tried, newer versions of Mypal did not work on ReactOS 32bit.

    ReactOS 64bit is still more unstable, not much works on it.

    For older Windows versions like WinXP etc, that Microsoft does not support anymore, there are some replacements for Windows Update, like http://legacyupdate.net , some others are also listed at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Windows . When I tried it, it installed most updates, but not Windows Live Essentials and some other update.
