jeditobe··on ReactOS 0.4.16
Yes, but native open-source drivers are needed for out-of-the-box support, legal compliance, and debugging missing kernel/NDIS APIs during development.

jeditobe··on ReactOS Now Works with ~90% of GPU Drivers for Windows XP/2k3 Intel, AMD, Nvidia
ReactOS has made significant progress in supporting proprietary graphics drivers, now achieving roughly 90% compatibility with Windows XP and Server 2003 drivers thanks to KMDF and WDDM implementation. In the latest 0.4.16 nightly builds, Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD drivers run reliably, fixing previous launch failures and instability. The system has been successfully tested on real hardware, with working 2D/3D acceleration, audio, and network support across a wide range of GPUs. Memory management improvements further increased stability, reducing crashes during graphics adapter initialization.

I really don't understand your childish behavior. You flaunt your unwillingness to cooperate, as revenge for the offense allegedly inflicted on you by someone. This is stupid and naive. There is nothing difficult about naming your version of the Virtual Machine.

The error "Failed to open txtsetup.sif" can theoretically pop up for a million reasons\scenarios, and even fixing all of them may not help in your particular case, without providing information from you.

However, this error is extremely rare. Developers can't fix a bug that they can't reproduce. Therefore, extra efforts are needed to catch, eliminate or bypass it.

Hysterical insults on volunteer developers of a free open source project are not the best example of interaction.

This problem is very rare. It is very hard to encounter it, unless you have some very specific conditions.

You said nothing about the version and name of VM you are using.

As well, you do not describe the exact sequence of actions that leads you to the error. Without it, you cannot be helped.

You also provide a list of bug reports that are just similar, but probably not related to your particular issue.

jeditobe··on Russian cosmonaut, who trained all his life, was kicked out in favor of actors
A heartbreaking story happened in Russian cosmonautics

Russian cosmonaut, who trained all his life, was kicked out from the Russian space program in favor of the actors of the space film

Alexander Khokhlov noted that cosmonaut Andrei Babkin suffered the most in the history of filming on the ISS. It was he who was supposed to go into orbit in October. According to Khokhlov, Babkin had been waiting for the opportunity to fly for a very long time and carefully prepared. Unfortunately, in the spring, the astronaut was taken aback by the unpleasant news - he was removed from flights because of the crew of the film "Takeoff". Nobody spoke in defense of Babkin.

"And since Babkin is already over 50 years old, another flight does not shine for him. It turns out that a man who has been preparing all his life did not fly because they flew to shoot a film," the expert complained.

The star of the "Gloom River" TV series and director Klim Shipenko will go into orbit in October 2021. In space, a cinematographer and an artist will be filming a picture with the tentative title "Takeoff". The film is a joint brainchild of Channel One and Roscosmos.

According to Alexander Khokhlov, the chief educator on orbital flights, space instrumentation designer, many experts criticize the film project. Russian cosmonauts are also dissatisfied with the idea.

The problem, as noted by Khokhlov, is not in the film itself, but in how the flight of the actress Peresild and director Shepenko was organized. The filmmakers did not look for money and organize an additional shuttle. They took the ship from the federal program, already paid for by the government. Initially, professional cosmonauts were supposed to fly on the shuttle "occupied" by filmmakers. Due to the expedition, the artist and director had to reshape the entire flight schedule.

Yulia Peresild and Klim Shepenko, who left unscheduled, will also have to be returned unscheduled. Because of the filming of the film, domestic and American astronauts will stay in orbit for an extra six months - filmmakers will take places in the spacecraft that was supposed to send the astronauts to Earth
