From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenKylin is already starting to be implemented on government systems and private companies all around China.

It's commendable how every chinese UI is simply beautiful... It's almost as if they spend the majority of their budget on UI and UX stuff

It's nearly one to one Windows copy. I am sure it's hard to do it and do it right but at the and of the day it is still a clone.

I suspect it's kind of the opposite. You may have just become accustomed to Linux distros that ignore UI until the very end of development

Considering that they have cool transparency effects when other distros never implement them, yes

if you like the look of windows that is...

Hmm, I didn't explain myself so well apparently. The look of windows is "ok" but I like more consistency and simplicity, here I think linux distros shine.

But, this distro seems more "modern" and "flashy", I love new things and you don't see "cool & flashy" design often.

I'm more used to functional design (and I love it), but sometimes the "shiny" style is a welcoming change.

We've all been through the phase when we wanted 200 cool animations for a single window drag 😂

When I was a kid I had at least 20 cool effects for the basic stuff in the desktop... They were even well made, not gonna lie.

Functional design is the best, but that doesn't mean that the eyes doesn't want their parts
