China’s homemade operating system is actually picking up steam

The problem with the PC market being dominated by just two operating systems (OS X and Windows) is that consumer options are limited and lack of competition can stifle innovation. In China, however, that’s only half of the problem. The other half is that both of those operating systems are close-sourced and developed by American companies. That’s why the Chinese government has been trying get its own homemade operating system to pick up steam. Known as NeoKylin, this operating system is actually only partially homemade, as a significant chunk of NeoKylin is actually developed overseas, but that doesn’t deter from the fact that it’s actually starting to see some solid adoption in China.
