I’m curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

    Highly probable. But considering Microsoft has been subsidized by the US government indirectly for decades I don’t see it being much different except that the GPL license hopefully will allow for the OS to become a common good.

          MS has to make profit of Windows. China doesn’t or can’t if Deepin is opensource.

            Microsoft is heavily subsidized through government contracts. Deepin has it’s paid support UOS alternative with extra services.
