OpenKylin is already starting to be implemented on government systems and private companies all around China.
Edit: This is what was written on the website.
Lol is it really free of Western technologies if it’s running on Linux?
I think it only uses western dependencies if they are open source. Even if linux somehow got weaponised against China (hard to imagine this as it goes against the very basics of Open Source), they could still use the older kernel releases and fork from that.
Linux kernel isn’t western or finnish, because you don’t need to trust westerners of finns to use it. Wherever you live, linux kernel is yours
At least, unlike GNOME, they got the font rendering, the spacing across icons and the desktop icons right. lol
It’s commendable how every chinese UI is simply beautiful… It’s almost as if they spend the majority of their budget on UI and UX stuff
It’s nearly one to one Windows copy. I am sure it’s hard to do it and do it right but at the and of the day it is still a clone.
I suspect it’s kind of the opposite. You may have just become accustomed to Linux distros that ignore UI until the very end of development
Considering that they have cool transparency effects when other distros never implement them, yes
I think Deepin will be a better distro in the long run. OpenKylin is like the class project everyone has to contribute to, but Deepin is a work of passion.
Connection is terrible and am not taking down my VPN to d/load that.
Good to hear! Hopfuly a new generation of kernel contributors comes out of this.
