      Linux has always had a strong showing over there. If I had the misfortune of living there I’d certainly want all the privacy and autonomy I could get…

        makes sense. So much sketchy people I know from there that also use like 10 distros for whatever reason and have extremely cracked setups

    I don’t like Flatpaks, but I guess this is better than nothing.

    I’m surprised China doesn’t have a lot. Are they not using Flathub, or perhaps Flatpaks?

        Chinese people use the same distros we do generally. But Linux is seen as much more of a professional thing there, and i think the people using it probably just compile things themselves, and have less of a need for flatpak. Huawei actually had a Linux laptop they were offering for sale for awhile, and a lot of the people buying it were having the store clerk put a cracked version of windows on it for them lol.

            I think its because they just see it as the “OS non-techies should use” but as Huawei’s Harmony OS becomes more popular i expect that to take over a good bit of that market.
