They'll make using Chinese Linux a pre-crime. Mandatory Microsoft for every citizen.
They pretty much did exactly that when they kicked Russians off the maintainer list and Linus was a super big ol' dick about it too.
I swear I've seen such headline for years now.
China committed to gradually shift from Windows to Linux on government computers. It will certainly take years, assuming it succeeds in the first place.
But still, good news they're going for it. Hopefully we'll see the year of Linux on Chinese PCs.
I'm a Taiwanese and interacted with a bunch of Linux users from Mainland China on Mastodon. From what I saw, I don't think it's as easy to use Linux in China, mainly due to the Great Firewall. They often need to tweak the mirrors and even tunnel through their VPS overseas.
Some examples: China produces a huge amount of solar panels that we need for green energy. China is also building and using a ton of coal power plants, more than any other country.
China is moving away from Microsoft which will lead to decrease in Microsoft power and hopefully lead to a bunch of work on open source projects. China is also comitting genocide on the Uyghurs.
Etc
User: - I wish Linux to win over Windows! evil laugh Monkey paw: - Done. China mandates Linux, US mandates Windows. Everything else is a crime punishable by death

I wonder how long until we start seeing hysterics about Linux being taken over by the Chinese.
