Did Huawei just modify some of Linux distros to suit their niche?? The desktop and overall UX is so familiar to certain Linux distros (not gonna name it, Huawei hardcore fans will attack me. But, certainly you can just google search for it) and don't tell me that the OS is Linux 🙄 because it's so obviously Linux 🙄🤦🏻♂️

The degree of hypocrisy... :( They actually handicaped Huawei, that's their view of 'Free Market Capitalism', but still Huawei is the World Leader, considering just the GPONs. ;)
Who can provide the real number in %s ? It's insane.
Capitalism nowadays is pure schizophrenia. No grounding with the reality.

Nevermind we should better run MIPS on x86, tremendous quality compared, comparing the hardware.
So, the problem is not 'compatibility', the problem is compile-ability.
For the open-source software, that shouldn't be a problem, which I prefer anyway than full-network-access all crap possible closed-source full permission Android. It's pure horroness. (not worst than Windows 11 though..)

I wait for a Huawei phone better than Xiaomi Note 14 Pro + (especially Victus 2 related stuff) for the same price !
I actually got pretty scammed : I purchased the phone 3 months ago(12+512GB) and now it's 120euros cheaper !! :| + the OS ('Hyper') is absolutely awfulness, horror, bloat, spam, scam, not even the three dots for EU version to OTA it,no way to flash it to chinese rom at least, security is lagging even though the phone was more than 440euros. I'm in tremendous pain.
(I want a flagship iPhone SE size! which is broken now, I told you the story at Realme 10Ah battery post..)
I do so many sportive things and I simply can't afford 16 cm long in my pockets, it's simply non-ergonomic.
The glass should be the best in the world, metal frame, SoC, 120Hz only, no AI crap, completely disable the links with huawei servers if that's our wish as buyers, and I don't give the slightest shit about cameras, so, why not a flagship without cameras ?!

They have their own ecosystem and run their own apps now. There is no reason for them to run Linux on their system.

HarmonyOS... moreIt is sure using a micro-kernel. and it is still using a ABI-compatible shim to run Linux apps, drivers and handle Linux syscalls. many of them are still critical for the system. it cannot get rid of handling Linux blobs in maybe many coming years. you may think the role of the micro-kernel is like hypervisor
and, from consumer perspective, the use of Android VM to run compatible apps is prevailing. Many companies may have plan to develop native Haymony apps, but eventually cancelled since consumers are pretty content with VM performance. I personally think this is very bad for the long-term development of Harmony.

And the non stop meddling of uncle sam with Huawei's business partners like ASML.
And may go back to Obama admin and try to listen for that magical phrase that he said which made China go all out into reducing dependence on the US.

If pure X86 really needed, China has the full design of AMD Zen(1st) and GCN through Hygon. Not to say others like Loongson, Zhaoxin, Phytium. The bundled OSes are Linux forks. I don't see anything Huawei need to rebuild for China now. It gets attention because it does mass consumer electronics.

This is literally Matepad+keyboard at this stage. It is a distribution based on Arm, and no side-loading now.

If the Chinese Government is smart, it can invest on this system for home users nationwide, keeping the Linux investment for government work and servers.
