What is the relationship between Youqilin and Ubuntu? What changes did You Qilin make to Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is one of many distributions of Linux, and Ubuntu Kylin is an open source project supported and led by CCN Joint Laboratory in China, which can be understood as the China version of Ubuntu.

Detailed history:

20 13 In March, CSIP of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with NUDT and Canonical, the supporting company of Ubuntu, announced the establishment of the Joint Open Source Software Innovation Laboratory (CCN), with the goal of developing an Ubuntu version optimized for users in China, namely the current Youqilin operating system.

The media tried the latest Ubuntu Kylin operating system for two days. However, in use, I feel that the operating system named You Qilin in Chinese is actually an Ubuntu operating system with several third-party Chinese applications added after localization. Ubuntu is an open source operating system with more than 20 million users worldwide.

It is said that the excellent Kirin operating system is not good because Ubuntu itself is not very friendly to ordinary users. It would be great if Youqilin could add icing on the cake to Ubuntu, but in fact, in the process of installation and experience, Youqilin has some problems that do not exist in the same version of Ubuntu, such as software crash, crash and installation failure.

Like Ubuntu, Youqilin pre-installed the Unity desktop environment, providing a graphical interface very close to Windows and Macintosh. In addition to native Chinese, You Qilin provides a series of Chinese software for daily use, such as music search, lunar calendar, weather, Chinese application store and so on. Generally speaking, compared with Ubuntu operating system, the improvements of Youqilin include but are not limited to: new wallpaper, new theme and several Chinese software.

After careful experience by the media, it is believed that the work done by the Youqilin project team is limited to localization and third-party software development. On the surface, there is no more heavyweight work. In fact, the evaluation of "lack of good" is not only applicable to the excellent Kirin operating system, but almost all the domestic operating systems that have emerged in the past two years can be described by this word.
