  • Huawei is no longer running Windows OS on its latest laptops, as the company has opted instead for its home-grown system.
  • HarmonyOS 5 will be running on brand new MateBook Pro and MateBook Fold models.
  • The PC-version of the OS looks strikingly similar to Windows, at least in official promotional images.

It would've been amazing to have them use Linux and develop that instead. Maybe mailinglists were too slow for them or there's a completely different reason for not picking it. Hopefully someday the architects will be interviewed to reveal the reasons.

At least this will bring competition, but app devs will be taking the short end of this. Yet another OS to support.

Probably because they wanted to include telemetry, ads, bloatware and non removable features like AI, which would be a lot harder in an open source OS.
