While I’ve been considering buying a brand new PC and mobile phone (for absolutely no reason whatsoever; totally a coinkidink that I considered it at this point in time), I decided to also look up what China’s own operating system was (because obviously they would have their own operating system; why would they make absolutely everything else and NOT make their own operating system?) and I was like ‘ooooh, that looks cool! This Kylin OS!’ only to watch a video expounding on it and revealing it’s a Linux based operating system.

Hexbear Linux users are to China what Israel is to America CMV

I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it, and it has full functionality no ifs and or buts with my OS, and I can rightclick and get all the necessary functionalities of rightclicking.

sudo install better OS

Stupid dressed up DOS like operating system; yeah cause I really want to type up lines of instructions to do what windows can do with a double click; cause I want to spend two hours googling how to install non-Linux compatible software on Linux, and then spend two hours finding out why the solution didn’t work making me feel like Indiana Jones excavating cursed ruins for a treasure you could’ve gotten at Walmart.

    None of the OS do this in 2024 btw. Windows 11 definitely doesn’t do this with right-clicking since they hide so much shit in the second right-click menu lmao.

    I want Windows but from China; I’m planning on buying a new PC soon and decided I’m getting one from there and thought I’d get a Chinese OS to go with it but had hoped to find Chinese Windows basically.

    Windows is proprietary software, so people don’t have access to the source code outside of leaks from really old versions of Windows that no one uses anymore. An open-source version of Windows has been in development since 1998 and has little to show for it all these decades later. There will never be a Chinese Windows unless Microsoft releases the source code.
