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.

I agree with that if using it as the main OS. However, as I mentioned in the article, I will only run it in the VM and will not trust it with any personal or important data.
Would never touch it personally, but I found your history of Windows piracy in China very interesting!
In the US the license was always bundled with the hardware unless you build your own. I worked for my university’s computer labs IT department and was able to acquire a key that I used for about a decade. Later, also scavenged a key from an old broken laptop, back when they printed it on the bottom, for my current Windows partition. Best to avoid paying for it…
I’ve been using mostly Windows for a desktop and Linux for servers for many years, but 11 is where I have to call it quits. My old friend Debian leads me forward from here :)
I personally like using Michaelsoft Binbows 
You speak about collaboration and even gov forms as an intro 🫣🙃
Deepin is spyware. Not to be trusted. Not a friend to FOSS.
I assume OP is Chinese. The localization and app support in Deepin is great for Chinese-made apps (QQ and WeChat for example).
Just because we can, doesn't mean that we should 😅
Why
Nice article! Are you the author? If so, I'd like to give you a suggestion: the part about the deepin Linux story and technical background is interesting enough to be its own article. That way, it would be more findable on web searchers and probably help a lot of people who look for information on it, which is a bit scarce in english.
