The operating system is the basis for communication between the application software layer and the hardware layer, and can also be called the soul of the intelligent device.
But for a long time, the soul of domestic smart devices is basically foreign, and the scope is smaller, so it can be said that these souls are mainly American.
For example, the computer operating system, Windows + macOS accounts for 95% of the share, and these two major systems are American. Another example is the mobile phone operating system, Android + iOS also accounts for more than 95% of the share, and these two major systems are also American.
So all along, the country has been developing its own soul in order to get rid of its dependence on the American soul.
As early as a few decades ago, China developed a variety of computer operating systems with Linux as the core, such as Hongqi Linux. When smart phones were emerging, mobile phone systems were also developed in China, such as Alibaba Cloud OS.
But some of these systems are slowly disappearing, and some are not living well, and the number of users is not much.
But now it seems that whether it is in the field of mobile phone operating system or computer operating system, Huawei has become a real giant, and the two major operating systems have become the first in China.
The first operating system is the mobile phone system HarmonyOS, which has now covered more than 700 million users, becoming the third largest mobile phone operating system in the world and the largest mobile operating system in China.
From the perspective of market share, the global share is more than 2%, and the Chinese market share is more than 10%, the first truly self-developed system in China, after all, other mobile phone systems are modified on the basis of AOSP, not self-developed.
The second largest operating system is the server operating system Euleros OpenEuler, which is used for enterprise server servers and is developed based on the Linux kernel.
According to the data, in 2023, Euler's market share of China's server operating system will reach 368%, which is also the first in China.
Although the server system is not much contact with individual users, it is very important for enterprise users, and everyone's enterprise applications and services are supported by servers, especially some key departments, such as education, amount, etc., and the use of domestic systems is crucial.
It can be seen that Huawei has truly achieved "far ahead" in many industries, in addition to mobile phones, chips, autonomous driving, 5G, etc., even the operating system is far ahead, and it is not okay to accept it.
