Unity Operating System (also known as Unified Operating System[1] or UOS) is a Chinese Linux distribution developed by Tongxin Software[2] and commissioned by the People's Republic of China to replace foreign operating systems like Microsoft Windows.[3]
Development
Two versions are currently under development, a desktop and a server version.[4] A first beta version was released in December 2019 and can be downloaded from the official website.[5][6]
Support
The operating system is primarily aimed at the Chinese market and is intended to replace Microsoft Windows in the country by 2022.[7][8] So far, the focus has therefore been primarily on in house hardware such as that from the semiconductor company Zhaoxin. There the whole KX-6000 series is already supported by the desktop version as well as the KH-30000 series for server version.[9]
Broad support is planned, so platforms such as Loongson, Sunway or ARM are also to be supported.[10]
