ReactOS is an open-source Windows project, and the developers' recent newsletter highlights some of the key updates the OS will be receiving in the near future. These updates include initial DirectX support, UEFI boot support for modern devices, UI improvements, as well as compatibility prep for NT6+ applications — which will enable ReactOS to run apps designed specifically for more modern Windows OS apps, from Vista to Windows 11.
Currently, the ReactOS team is working toward a 0.4.15 release for its open-source operating system, which could include some of the features mentioned above (albeit in an experimental stage). Sadly, development has not gone smoothly due to unexpected regressions and bugs. The last version 0.4.14 update for ReactOS was released two years ago, which reveals how slow development has been for this point release. The devs have neglected to issue a release date, but nightly builds of the new update are available for users to try right now.
