I've installed Red Star OS in a VM in the past (harder than you'd think because there's no translations in it - had to guess a lot) and, despite it having a similar Window Manager as Windows, it definitely didn't look exactly like Windows.
I'm guessing they also used, or use, Windows; and possibly the push for a domestic Linux-based OS was in part because of that.
No, the DPRK uses their own Linux distro that only recently got leaked.

I think their OS is made to look like windows so that might be what is going on.
Me buying an Indian windows key super cheap < DPRK pirating windows on a national scale
