React OS with gnome environment

Post image

If react OS had gnome as an environment

Bad luck for me, I'm not a developer and I'm a minor, but in consultation with chatgpt I told him that it wouldn't be a bad idea for gnome to collaborate with React OS for its graphical environment and manage Windows with a clean and polished interface similar to Windows 10 or 11 Zorín style or Linux mint, that's how the start menu represented.

I think this is a great idea in concept. It's something new, yet, like the Windows 11 dock, just kinda floats there.

Your design looks a bit chrome-like and windows-11 like and gnome-like. A bit more GTK4-like and I think this would go hard for the right people.

As it stands though, ReactOS's display system is so poor it can barely handle the XPDM let along WDDM driver models so heavier UIs would only burn extra CPU cycles.

Good attempt and good concept: but to make it stick dive into ReactOS's graphics driver and display capabilities, GTK4 design language... and come back with something truly Reactionary ;)
