After Hongmeng, there is another good news from the domestic operating system. Recently, the 2022 Open Atom Global Open Source Summit was held in Beijing. At the OpenCloudOS sub-forum on July 29, Cui Liming, general manager of ZTE’s new pivot operating system products, attended the dialogue session of the OpenCloudOS sub-forum. Unveiled the plan of the OpenCloudOS L1 project. The L1 version is the most upstream distribution version of the Linux distribution. OpenCloudOS Stream will release the alpha version at the end of 2022, and the first official version will be released in 2023. At the time, the domestic operating system will truly have its own kernel maintenance version, and truly get rid of the external dependence on foreign distributions. OpenCloudOS is an open source community for the purpose of developing domestic operating systems initiated by Tencent and deeply involved in ZTE's new pivot operating system.
At the same time, ZTE’s new fulcrum operating system officially revealed an exciting information at the 2022 Open Atom Global Open Source Summit. Since the desktop mode of the new fulcrum operating system is completely free, the number of users has rapidly increased by 100,000+. We know that ZTE’s new The Fulcrum operating system announced in March this year that the desktop mode will be fully authorized for use by individuals and enterprises for free. For a domestic operating system, the increase in the number of users is very surprising. This shows that ZTE's new fulcrum operating system has really satisfied daily use, and it also proves that in the domestic market, free is the best promotion method. As the first manufacturer in China to make the desktop operating system completely free, I also like ZTE's pattern here.
"Lack of core and soul" has been mentioned by people in the past two years, but this is not a new term. As early as 1999, Xu Guanhua once said, "Lack of core and soul", and the core is the core, and The soul is the system. The emergence of domestic operating systems such as ZTE's new fulcrum has greatly alleviated the domestic "fewer souls" problem, but it has not been completely resolved. After all, Microsoft's Windows system is still China's largest operating system.
At present, the domestic operating system system software ecology is still far behind mainstream systems such as Windows and macOS. Fortunately, they have obtained the support of relevant departments. Purchase computers equipped with domestic chips and running domestic operating systems. However, in order to truly develop domestic operating systems and challenge the status of foreign operating systems such as Windows and macOS, more software developers and companies need to cooperate with domestic operating systems to adapt software for domestic operating systems so that more ordinary consumers Or to use and support.
At present, the overall domestic operating system is still very immature, but they carry the hope of the Chinese people. Nowadays, domestic operating systems such as ZTE's new fulcrum are steadily improving, and we have reason to believe that the future of domestic operating systems will get better and better.
