This is about a month old, but this distro is now released. It's a completely independent distro from China.

China leading the way for open source development with openKylin. Based. I hope the distro becomes widespread in China.

what's it using for package management?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

APT apparently

huh, the article makes such a big deal of the fact that it's not debian-based

That’s weird, maybe the source I got that from is wrong 🤷

Its not based on Debian or Ubuntu. It uses the apt package manager but everything else is built by them.

Ah. I should know better given that jailbroken iOS uses APT too and it’s obviously very not Debian-based
