Oh boy. If you think using a Windows PC opens you up to vulnerabilities, just wait until you give all of your personal information to Huawei.

I doubt this is aimed at Western markets. Mostly mainland China (even Apple with its arrogant "digital privacy" marketing, fully cooperates with the CCP in mainland China) and possibly some other countries like Pakistan or nations in Africa without a big PC installed base.

Isnt HarmonyOS based on Android? Interesting solution for a PC OS. Definitely not for me either way.

The latest version of Harmony is supposed to be fully independent with its own kernel, userland, UI/UX, application format and all that jazz. Earlier versions were based on AOSP.

I thought it used the Linux kernel, I guess that changed.

What is the point of this? Linux already exists.

I recommend Red Star OS

They want a fully CCP-controlled OS.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Probably to have a more closed system so they can control the 'ecosystem'. I don't think it's because of 'ccp', as pointed by op, but more likely due to good ol' capitalism, Huawei is playing the same game in the same league as Apple, google, Microsoft.

I recommend Red Star OS

Lol. Is this meant as a joke? If not I'm gonna turn your question back to you, what would be the point?

Red Star is ran by the North Korean government of course it's a joke.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Ok, I did chuckle when I read it, and I knew it's North Korean, but lemmy being lemmy I had to ask.
