This is ugly as shit, I take great offense to the idea that soviets would be using windows 95 instead of patching KDE2 under FreeBSD.

Soviets would have something like BeOS

DPRK is running its own Linux distro, so maybe Soviets would do something similar.

Red Star 🇰🇵, Nova 🇨🇺, Kylin 🇨🇳, and whatever the Vietnamese government distribution is called: You have betrayed us :(

Fun fact: You can actually just download Nova and Kylin from their websites and use them, pretty fun to mess around with if you're ever bored and want to have some fun.

HaikuOS would be called Gogol and there would be libs acting like the Soviets are just copying america like they're doing with literally every Chinese IT service/project.

why would they use something that doesn't give the finger to capitalists - ie the GPL. look at them mald every time the license comes up. every corporation I've ever worked at either sweats bullets when the GPL comes up or legal just bans it.
