On January 15, 2020, the official version of Tongxin UOS was released; to this day, UOS has passed its first anniversary.
The first anniversary of UOS
At a recent meeting, General Manager Liu Wenhuan of Tongxin Software said: Since 2020, Tongxin Software has built a complete and efficient ecological adaptation platform, completed nearly 2,000 adaptations, and built an open ecosystem that has begun to take shape. The desktop ecosystem has the ability to replace Windows7 .
Perhaps some people don't know much about this operating system: UOS is a commercial version of Deepin, a domestic Linux operating system. Deepin is the flagship product of Wuhan Deepin, and it is currently the only product developed by the top ten Chinese team in the international Linux distribution rankings.
So in simple terms, the relationship between Deepin and UOS can be compared to Fedora and Redhat RHEL.
Tongxin Software Company was formally established on November 14, 2019, and the official version of UOS was released on January 15, 2020. Counting to January 15, 2021, UOS just released its first anniversary.
According to official information, UOS has been adapted to most applications in one year:

By the end of 2020, UOS has adapted more professional tool software, shipped more than one million sets, served users across the country, and had a leading market share in the party and government fields.
Questions continue: UOS is not a benchmark for Windows Home Edition
Just like any product with the "domestic" label, since its release, UOS has been questioned and complaints have been made one after another. Even the official has expressed misunderstood grievances:
As shown in the figure above, the biggest question UOS faces from the outside world is: Is UOS a shell-changing product like "Red Core Browser" and "Mulan Programming Language"?
At the beginning of its release, UOS did not shy away from the word "Linux kernel", nor did it take the achievements of the open source community as its own. This is also supported by many developers. Although its predecessor, Deepin, is niche, in the eyes of developers who have used it, this system is affirmed. Although from the perspective of adaptation, Deepin still has some problems at the time, but after the optimization of the development team, this problem Also solved.
UOS is currently divided into three versions: Professional Edition, Personal Edition and Community Edition. Products that are often talked about and benchmarked against Windows systems are generally UOS Professional Edition.
From the official introduction, UOS Professional Edition has been clearly positioned to serve special departments such as the party, government, and military:
Here we borrow a UOS employee's answer on Zhihu to further explain:
(See: https://www.zhihu.com/question/352508689/answer/1079479372)
UOS Professional Edition is aimed at specific groups of people, focusing on domestic CPU platforms. The main application scenario at this stage is office-related, and the target should be the Windows government procurement version or the Windows enterprise version. At present, this ecological field can basically be replaced, but everyone does not know much about the manufacturers in the government and enterprise office field. UOS Professional Edition is not for ordinary consumers, and it is unlikely to consider games, entertainment and other fields. You don't have to use "Can't play games" as a spray, and the system itself does not do this.
UOS Professional Edition is not intended for professional programmers/technicians for development or research purposes. It restricts some permissions. The essence is to better maintain and lower the threshold of use. This strategy is feasible under the premise of matching specific use scenarios. .
Some developers also said in their answers: The current UOS target users are not developers, so it is not necessary to use the eyes of developers to examine this system. Fortunately, someone has already taken the first step and believes that latecomers can operate for domestic production. The system brings more surprises.
