Right now, open source is on the rise, and adding to the already growing list of Ubuntu supporters is China. Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has been collaborating with the Chinese government to develop a standardized operating system known as Ubuntu Kylin, which will be released later this week on Thursday.
Ubuntu already offers a Chinese Edition of the OS, but Ubuntu Kylin will be a new version significantly aimed at supporting how Chinese people work on computers. Among other things, it will integrate pre-installed localized tools, offering easy access to web services and software they commonly use right from the Dash.
This is great news for the open source community and Chinese users looking for alternatives they can start using effortlessly. If this latest development has you wanting to find out more about Ubuntu before the big day arrives, this is certainly a perfect time to test it out.
