A model of domestic operating system: Deepin operating system

In China, the market share of various versions of Windows exceeds 97%, the market share of macOS is 0.72%, and the market share of various Linux operating systems does not exceed 1%, among which domestic operating systems are even smaller.

As an extremely important part of information security, an independent operating system is both the dream and the pain of the Chinese people.

"Windows serves the US government and opens backdoors to steal information from other countries", "XP has stopped upgrading and is forced to be bundled with Microsoft services"... On the one hand, everyone from the government to the people are calling for a truly domestically produced operating system, but on the other hand, the market situation is bleak. The Hongqi operating system of Zhongke Hongqi, which once had a great influence, went bankrupt and was auctioned in 2014, and has basically disappeared from the market.

Deepin is the only Linux manufacturer in China that survives without government subsidies or funding.

Deepin is a Linux distribution dedicated to providing users around the world with an aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-use, secure and reliable experience. It not only integrates and configures the best open source products, but also develops the Deepin desktop environment and Deepin Control Center based on Qt technology, and develops a series of Deepin feature applications for daily use such as Deepin Store, Deepin Screenshot, Deepin Music, Deepin Cinema, etc.

Deepin focuses on easy-to-use experience and beautiful design. For most users, it is easy to install and use, and can be a good substitute for Windows system for work and entertainment. In recent years, Deepin has developed rapidly and has won the support of users in more than 40 countries around the world. At present, the global download volume has reached 40 million times, with hundreds of thousands of users. The system supports more than a dozen languages, and more than 60% of the users are overseas. It is one of the well-known systems in China and even in the world, and has become the highest-ranked Chinese Linux operating system distribution on Distrowatch.

Most hardware has driver support, but specialized hardware and older hardware cannot be migrated and must be redeveloped.

In addition to the desktop operating system, Deepin Server Edition has taken the lead in implementing unified framework support for x86 and domestic CPU platforms. By supporting the entire ecological environment and building solutions for multiple application scenarios, it can meet the requirements of enterprise-level users for high availability, high stability, and high reliability of servers.

The author had the honor of listening to the report of Wang Yong from the Deep Degree Project Team and felt that he and his team were a group of talented people who dared to think and act and had patriotic dreams.

The main obstacles to the promotion of deepin system : the habit of using old tools, the concept of using new environment, and the distrust of domestic products. Main advantages: independent control, policy support, and patriotic sentiment.

The good news is that the deepinV15 version has been adapted to the high-end version of Xiaomi notebooks and can perfectly support the high-end version of Xiaomi notebooks.

This is a positive signal. We are optimistic about the deepin operating system. Let's cooperate with Xiaomi or Huawei because they all have their own CPU technology. Although it is only mobile phone CPU at this stage, I think there will be PC CPU soon. The domestic system with Chinese chips will be perfect.

If Xiaomi and Deepin work together to build the MiOS closed-loop ecosystem, using Xiaomi's user base, social influence, and hardware production chain, I think it will be a win-win outcome. Xiaomi is no longer just making UI, but will work together to develop a system that can seamlessly connect PC and mobile terminals. By attacking both software and hardware, it may have the strength to compete with Microsoft and Apple!
