The goal of the Unity Operating System (UOS) when it was established was to keep China from being controlled by others in the field of basic software, forming China's voice and advantages, Union Tech said on Thursday.
On January 14, 2020, Microsoft officially stopped supporting Windows 7 systems, including software updates, security updates or repairs, and technical support for any issues.
On January 15, the official version of UOS was released to partners, which is a desktop and server operating system based on the Linux kernel.
Recently, the South Korean government has also drafted a strategy to prepare to completely replace Windows 7 based on the Linux and open source operating systems of its government and public institutions' operating systems to get rid of its dependence. This plan will be completed by 2026 .
UOS was developed by the team of Union Tech. The company was officially established on November 14, 2019. It is composed of many domestic companies engaged in operating systems for a long time, including Wuhan Deepin Technology, ArcherMind Technology, and ZTE New Pivots.
Union Tech stated that its goal has been very clear since its inception: to solve the current problems of China's information technology industry, especially in the field of basic software, which is subject to people's confidants, and to form China's right to speak and advantages in the future development path of the information technology field.
The difficulty of operating system development is ecological construction. In this regard, UOS has been strongly supported by industry partners since its release.
This allows UOS to complete the adaptation of four architectures and six CPUs in a short period of time, paving the way for the subsequent adaptation of software and hardware ecological products.
UOS is based on the Linux kernel research and development, supporting notebooks, desktops, all-in-ones and workstations of chip platforms such as Godson, Feiteng, Zhaoxin, Haiguang, Kunpeng, and servers.
Union Tech said that in the future, UOS may replace Microsoft's Windows system in the Chinese government and public institutions.
The company also said that it looks forward to making breakthroughs in the civilian sector and gaining more revenue.
