The truth about the domestic PC system: the current situation of the industry behind the secondary development of Linux!
For computers, the operating system is the life of the computer.
In fact, the operating system (OS) is the bridge that connects hardware with databases, middleware, and application software, and it manages hardware devices such as CPUs, GPUs, and storage downwards, providing a good environment for the development and operation of application software.
It can be said that the computer system is the cornerstone of the PC industry, and without it, the PC industry will become a source of water and a tree without roots.
There are four main categories of PCs in the world today: Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix. (Huawei's HarmonyOS is not yet available on the PC side, as the PC version is not yet available.) I think, why are there so many operating systems missing from domestic computers?
In fact, the current domestic PCs are all based on the secondary research and development of Linux, and they are all Linux systems, not completely developed in China.
In terms of market share, Windows is the largest operating system in the world, with a 75% share of Windows operating system, 13% of macOS, and 12% of Linux and Unix.
The operating systems in China are all Linux, but there are differences.
The chart below shows that some are distributed by commercial companies (e.g. Redhat) and others are distributed by some communities (e.g. Debian), all of which have been redeveloped, but at the end of the day, these are Linux classes.
Of course, compared with the original Linux, domestic PCs have undergone a lot of changes, especially in terms of function and ecology, and a lot of optimizations have been made, which fully shows the superiority of domestic operating systems locally.
Among them, UnionTech operating system has installed more than 5 million applications, of which Kirin has installed 4.4 million, which can be said to be the two most widely used operating systems in China.
Why are the domestic operating systems all the core of Linux, instead of their own operating systems?In fact, there is no need for this.
Linux is open source, it is all institutions and individuals in the world, as long as it is built on an open basis, it can be used, and Linux has developed a lot after so many years and has its own ecosystem.
The domestic operating system is based on Linux, and the software for secondary development and then localization will be simpler, faster, more efficient, and can also reduce costs. Doing the core by yourself is equivalent to doing repetitive work, which makes no sense, and you have to start all over again, and the success rate will be lower.
This is also why, there are so many people complaining, saying that the domestic operating system is the secondary research and development of Linux, which makes the domestic operating system very embarrassing, what do you think?
