     @adiz I should have posted Nova (Cuban Linux distro) with these since unlike Kylin and Red Star, Cuba seems to be more committed to having their own autonomous software stack instead of relying on Micro$oft westoid imperialist software

     The Red Star OS logo is so incredibly North Korean
     It reminds me of their TV graphics

     @nyx@social.xenofem.me As far as I know, Kylin is supposed to be the new "default" OS in China to replace things like Microsoft's dominance within the OS world. It'd be awesome to see it more FLOSS whereas right now I believe it has a proprietary license. Reading now, apparently Kylin and "NeoKylin" are different, whereas Kylin itself is based on FreeBSD and meant for government use, where NeoKylin is Linux-based and meant for consumer computers. Supposedly, as of 2015: "computer maker Dell reported that 42% of personal computers they sold in China were now running NeoKylin"It would be so huge for the global GNU/Linux community if the PRC forced a widespread adoption of Linux.

     @adiz@soc0.outrnat.nl @nyx@social.xenofem.me Also, the westoid companies have already rejected the chuds in favor of the fake leftists (Exception: Twitter, which is fucking infested with these fuckers), so they can't call open-source communist without looking like hypocrites.

     @adiz the situation is kinda similar in the US actually, or at least it was for way longer than it should have been, where XP was what you would find in a lot of offices for companies whose product wasn't related to technology. XP was just immensely popular and it doesn't surprise me that it has continued to be the most widely used thing in China, though the idea that it could basically lead to like a complete split from this timeline of Y2K era GUI design becoming a huge share of free software (if China widely promotes Kylin and releases the source code) is a really fun prospect

     @nyx@social.xenofem.me So, NeoKylin looks a lot like Microsoft XP, and I think this is super interesting insofar as Windows XP has a foundational pull on the Chinese computer market and Chinese computer user. It was, for many, probably their first foray into computers or experience with computing. Even in 2018 when I was last there it was everywhere as the default OS on virtually any computer you used (all virus-ridden pirated copies, of course). When someone mentions "computer" in China, people probably immediately think of a Windows XP desktop. So, Windows XP is "what a computer desktop UI/UX is meant to look and act like".
