It’s really just a matter of time until something replaces Windows.

China’s Linux (Android-knock-off) phones are fine.

Linux is already used for servers. I don’t see anything preventing it from being a serious home-computing alternative.

In fact, those Chromebooks were fine, weren’t they?

I never had one, but heard they were fine.

China has released its first homegrown open-source desktop operating system, named OpenKylin, state media said, as the country steps up efforts to cut reliance on U.S. technology.

Released on Wednesday, and based on the existing open-source Linux operating system, China’s version was built by a community of about 4,000 developers, and is used in its space programme and industries such as finance and energy, they added.

China currently has several (more than a dozen, last time I checked) different ongoing Linux projects that are getting funding from the government, which is seeking to decouple their computer systems from the West.
