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.

    I want a Chinese OS specifically which is why I was hoping they'd made one that was a 1:1 of Windows.

        I admit I don't know how OSes work, but I guess I hoped for something akin to a Windows reskin under Chinese ownership; an OS that functioned exactly like windows, almost like it was a virtual machine or emulator or something; I admit, I haven't the faintest idea how OSes work, but I'd hoped there was a product like that.
