Ubuntu Kylin is the official Chinese version of the Ubuntu computer operating system.

It has been described as a "loose continuation of the Chinese Kylin OS".[1] In 2013, Canonical reached an agreement with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China to co-create and release a Ubuntu-based OS with features targeted at the Chinese market.[2][3] Ubuntu Kylin is intended for desktop and laptop computers.[4]

The first official release, Ubuntu Kylin 13.04, was released on 25 April 2013, on the same day as Ubuntu 13.04.[5] Features include Chinese input methods, Chinese calendars, a weather indicator, and online music search from the Dash.[5]

Future versions will include integration with Baidu maps, the Taobao shopping service, as well as versions of office programs and image management tools.[4] Canonical is also working with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on a version that will run on servers.[4]
