Interesting to know that. Every OS has its downsides tbh, the Chinese one is no exception. China is notorious for its censorship already and now it’s planning to develop its Linux-based OS? Would it slip free of Zhongnanhai’s hands?
Of course there’s nothing stopping them from developing their own OS - whether based on Linux or something else. I’d say though, whatever they use, it’s more likely to be open source than not.
it would be both easier and more practical for them to use linux, if they wish to maintain competition on global market for software development. if they instead make their very own operative system, there would be compatibility issues and a lack of developers available to participate in the global market.
It makes a lot of sense :
ergo : US tech’s proprietary systems - X86 and Micro$oft - are set to be excluded from 20% of the world’s tech marketplace.
Not only that : China is a big manufacturer of the world’s electronics… they’ll no doubt start exporting hardware with open source software too.
Plus there are a lot of concerns about all the information Micro$oft mines from its OS : it’s not suitable for government use afaic.

I wonder if this will endanger the Maoist and Marxist opposition in China if it’s widely implemented.

A downside would be the intense censorship enacted by Beijing, though.

Basically everything filtered by the Great Firewall. And for example Peng Shuai, Liu Xiaobo, Tiananmen, Hong Kong protesters, and so on, and so on.

Someone reported this for “gore”, would be good if you could put an explicit warning.

I mean, yes, that’s why ditching Microsoft and going Linux is the right move, they can create their own distribution and have complete control.
