      The Chinese government wants that yeah, they do have their own distro, but the people just keep using Windows anyways

        I was told by a Chinese coworker a few years back that piracy is the biggest factor. There was little enforcement, and everybody runs a cracked version of Windows because it was insanely easy to do.

        When picking out Distros first I looked into Deepin a while ago because I found it visually appealing. I obviously didn’t pick it but there’s also good chinese Distros
