Shenzhen Kaihong plan to support their version of OpenHarmony on x86. Apps develop on the Kaihong app market will be available ton the Huawei market. Not clear if its bi-directional. There has been images of Kaihong OS having vscode and office. No idea how they achieve that or if it is fake. HarmonyNext shows off running a windows VM rather than even bother suggesting linux support. I find everything about harmony/openharmony a bit confusing at the moment.

There exists an official Linux compatibility layer (shim) for HarmonyOS Kernel. So it should be able to run Linux apps with near native performance (much better than a VM like in Windows case). However, I am not sure weather Huawei have enabled it on their Laptops or not.
As for VSCode on KaihongOS, they are running the Linux version of VSCode on top of that compatibility layer. The Office they are running is not Microsoft Office. Its WPS Office, which is now available for HarmonyOS as well. So Kaihong is most likely using the native version of WPS Office. They could also use the Linux version of it. WPS Office has been around for many years and is functionally and visually similar to MS Office.

Here is a video of KaihongOS. Looks like it runs Harmony Apps, Linux apps, and Android apps. I believe this particular machine is 8000 rmb which is way overpriced. If they can get this OS on 1000-4000 rmb notebooks/minibox produce by any vendor, it could get good traction as it is very similar but better than ChromeOS which offers chrome web browser, linux container, and android vm.

Yeah the computer looks very netbook-ish from two decades ago. Surprised this computer maker is still using this design.

The most in-depth review of the OS and the hardware right now (there's english caption btw).
It's extremely locked down on the level of iOS, basically an iPad with a keyboard. Pretty sad:confused: I think I will just wait to see if that changes

GrainBoundary Technology Completes USD 10 Million B3 Round of Financing to Accelerate the Development of AI Native 3D Graphics Engine


Recently, Grain World Technology, a domestic 3D graphics engine company, completed a B3 round of financing worth tens of millions of dollars. This round of financing was jointly led by Wuxi Wuxi Venture Capital, Wuxi Binhu Industrial Group and BYD, and followed by old shareholder Everest Venture Capital and other institutions.

In addition to being used to upgrade the native AI of GritGene, the 3D graphics engine of GritGene, this round of financing will also be used for research and development in simulation training of embodied intelligence and world models, multimodal intelligent human-computer interaction, and further implementation and commercialization in more industry vertical scenarios such as smart cockpits, terminal graphics, and spatial intelligence.

GritWorld Technology was founded in 2015. Its founder and CEO, Dr. Wu Xiaomao, graduated from the Department of Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The company is a provider of next-generation computer graphics engine technology, and its core product is the next-generation computer graphics rendering engine GritGene. GritWorld Technology has cooperated with Huawei, BYD, Honor and other companies to apply 3D graphics engine technology to consumer terminals such as mobile phones, mixed reality devices, and automobiles, as well as digital twins, film and television special effects, and spatial intelligence, to promote the research and development and commercialization of the third-generation 3D graphics engine with intelligent heterogeneity.
