The Deepin V20 is out today. Just updated from the V20 beta.
any idea what is the diffrence between uos and deepin? I saw a youtuber had to even pay 800 yuan to access the uos app store.
I don't think x86 emulation is completely necessary as Apple is not relying for x86 emulation. Their close ecosystem and ownership of the development tool allows their developer to compile their apps to both x86 and arm. x86 is a dead-end for China if it want tech leadership and independence, as Intel/amd holds the majority of the patents and the patents are licensed to via technology for a limited time.
ARM is ready for normal/avg computer users as some ChromeOS devices runs on ARM and the whole mobile/tablet ecosystem is also on ARM. ARM Linux is also already available. The question is will Chinese firms be under arbitrary blocking as we saw with Huawei for a brief time.
I'd like to know how UOS is significantly different from Deepin. I've checked out Deepin 5 years ago and it didn't impress me ( lots of Linux flavors ).
From what I've read in this thread, UOS seems to have some "premium " features like an App store ( old Linux App stores used to be famously empty and out of color like a North Korean Propaganda supermarket ) and I think things haven't changed much.
I'm of the opinion that in China's case, Smartphone OS will lead the way to Desktop OS ( Like iOS influencing iPadOS and even trying to seep into MacOS).
Could HongMeng be the answer ? Because more transactions of value need to be done in an OS for it to gain traction , and since Chinese internet is dominated by Smartphones, a smartphone based OS will be the trailblazer.
An integrated OS for all platforms with distinct differences being in Computing Power and Display Sizes shall be a great thing for China's software liberation.

There will be a transition period.
Apple can wait. China might need it now.
Though I've always argued that the 2nd hand x86 market is always an option.
