exe files without any extra work.įor people who want to escape Windows, but find that their core applications (or close equivalents) are not available on other platforms, this could be the answer for you. With original code, as well as some derived from the WINE project, it's goal is to be an equivalent operating system to Windows that allows users to download and run standard 32bit Windows. It's only in alpha stages at the moment (for the non-programmers: this means it is early in it's development, probably unstable, and not recommended for true production use). It is designed from the ground up to be a true Windows replacement. ReactOS is an entirely free non-Linux operating system. I can give you a general guide if you like, if you don't want to explore the "older distro" option. A reminder that they'll be running versions of software that are outdated and potentially dangerous (including old versions of SSL with known exploits).Ĭompiling from source would be "safer" (at least considering SSL/GnuTLS style libraries and things), but is going to be non-trivial if that's not something you've done before.
Again, because you want such old code running on a new distro, it means you're not going to get much help from official packages that are out there.Īs it's in a VM, I'd potentially consider digging up an old LTS version (not sure which one - you might have to go way back to 12.04 or 10.04 even) and seeing what came default with those distros. You're likely going to get yourself into dependency hell if you try to install from older packages designed for older distros.Īnd I also hate to say it, but if it were me, I'd be looking to install from source. Click to expand.I hate to say it, but those versions are *very* old, as are their dependencies.
