China plans to drop Windows earlier than planned in favor of Linux for some government bodies. The move comes as part of China's broader push to reduce dependence on foreign products and services, especially those of US origin.
And DPRK has their own OS, it doesn’t mean it isn’t shit. Just because the CCP released a branch of Linux off open source software doesn’t mean it’s good or even innovative.
North Korea’s OS is Red Star, and I get the distinct impression you’ve never used it
I’ve used Red Star 2 and 3. It’s a perfectly adequate OS, and just comes off as any old Linux distro with slightly odd settings. Despite technically bring It’s own OS, I was able to use run pretty much anything built for Linux without issue
Anything North Korea does is default assumed incompetently executed, maliciously intentioned, and/or the result of stolen work from a more skilled (western) developer/designer. The American Brain cannot comprehend the existence of a Soviet computer science expert. Certainly not one from a country where the prevailing wisdom is “These stupid foreigners all believe the President has a perfect golf score and never poops. Everyone eats grass because they’re always starving. And their army feeds their Olympic Soccer Team to wild dogs every time a player misses a goal in a qualifying match”.

Calling it shit is reductive and inaccurate

Interesting, how come you’ve used it enough to have experience of two versions?
Curious if there is anything proprietary in it or if an audit has been run on the code.
given it marks every file and does a whole other bunch of tracking stuff it definitly has some proprietary additions
