Unity Operating System
Linux distribution
Unity Operating System (also known as Unified Operating System or UOS, Chinese: 统一操作系统) is a Linux distribution developed by UnionTech (Chinese: 统信软件, Tǒngxìn) based on Deepin, which is based on Debian. It is used in China as part of a government initiative beginning in 2019 to replace foreign-made software such as Microsoft Windows with domestic products.
01Development
02Support
The operating system is primarily aimed at the Chinese market and was intended to replace Microsoft Windows in the country by 2022, also known as the "3-5-2 policy", however Microsoft Windows is still heavily used in the country. So far, the focus has therefore been primarily on Chinese government-owned companies' hardware such as that from the semiconductor company Zhaoxin. The whole KX-6000 series is already supported by the desktop version as well as the KH-30000 series for server version.
Broad support is planned, so platforms such as LoongArch64, Sunway or ARM are also to be supported.
