China should make a coordinated Linux push, since they're always at risk of getting kicked out of Android when they start doing well on phones, and Windows, iOS, Android, Mac OS, are all spy-tools anyway.
It's actually happening. HuaWei pretty much switched to their own HarmonyOS that's been forked from Android, and China has an initiative to replace Windows with Linux on the desktop as well.
Android fork isn't Linux. I mean actual linux, with actual freedom, and taking advantage of the open source community and existing software.
Can you tell me about this?
I was saying that HramonyOS is a fork of Android. Linux is obviously a separate story from that. And here are a couple of article about China ditching Windows for a homegrown Linux distro
This is a national security concern for China, so I expect there will be a sustained push to move everything to homegrown platforms.
