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.

    The article is not very informative. No mentioning about package manager they use, no explanation if UKIP runs on wayland natively, etc. I guess i just have to try it myself.

      Probably best to not ever touch a Chinese built OS, but just look at it from a distance. At least, for the foreseeable future.

        Xenophobic fearmongering serves nobody.

        Should we also avoid the Linux kernel, since it’s Finnish, and Finland participates in the largest global surveillance apparatus with the USA? There’s absolutely no reason to assume the distribution is any less secure or any more likely to be malicious simply due to it being developed in China or by Chinese.

        Moreover, it’s open-source. Use the same logic you should apply to open-source software before you accuse it of being malicious: look at the code and prove it.

      And the kicker: the config files show 99% were extracted from Debian Linux. Own Chinese distro, my ass.

        Can you provide a source for that?

    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.
