While I've been considering buying a brand new PC and mobile phone (for absolutely no reason whatsoever; totally a coinkidink that I considered it at this point in time), I decided to also look up what China's own operating system was (because obviously they would have their own operating system; why would they make absolutely everything else and NOT make their own operating system?) and I was like 'ooooh, that looks cool! This Kylin OS!' only to watch a video expounding on it and revealing it's a Linux based operating system.

Hexbear Linux users are to China what Israel is to America CMV

I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it, and it has full functionality no ifs and or buts with my OS, and I can rightclick and get all the necessary functionalities of rightclicking.

sudo install better OS

Stupid dressed up DOS like operating system; yeah cause I really want to type up lines of instructions to do what windows can do with a double click; cause I want to spend two hours googling how to install non-Linux compatible software on Linux, and then spend two hours finding out why the solution didn't work making me feel like Indiana Jones excavating cursed ruins for a treasure you could've gotten at Walmart.

So I guess the most important thing in your life is playing PUBG then?

You do you, stay in your walled garden full of expiring licences, monthly subscriptions, invasive surveillance, ads - and so many bugs.

I need windows and macos for stuff at work, I own such machines. Only I don't use them outside of that exact, momentarily need.

Dual Boot is your friend.

I may dual boot my PC so I can test out Kylin and see if it's for me; I really would like to have a Chinese OS to go with a new PC that I'm hoping to get from China.
