Unity Operating System (also known as Unified Operating System[1] or UOS, Chinese: 统一操作系统) is a Chinese Linux distribution developed by UnionTech (Chinese: 统信软件)[2] based on Deepin[3] and commissioned by the People's Republic of China to replace foreign operating systems like Microsoft Windows.[4]

Development

Two versions are currently under development, a desktop and a server version.[5] A first beta version was released in December 2019 and can be downloaded from the official website.[6][7] A first stable version was released on 14 January 2020.[3][8]

Support

The operating system is primarily aimed at the Chinese market and is intended to replace Microsoft Windows in the country by 2022.[9][10] 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.[1]

Broad support is planned, so platforms such as Loongson, Sunway or ARM are also to be supported.[11]
