Huawei is nearly ready to ditch Windows and adopt HarmonyOS as its primary PC operating system. According to Yu Chengdong, who heads the company’s consumer business group, the PCs currently being sold by Huawei will be the last to feature Microsoft’s “Western” OS. The next batch of Huawei computers will include HarmonyOS Next, the upcoming iteration of the operating system, which is expected to launch by the end of 2024.
The operating system will exclusively support its own format of native applications, which, according to the project’s page, include a mix of JavaScript (JS), TypeScript, and an optimized compiler designed to speed up the execution of JS code.
They made JS a systems language.
Betya $3.50 it’ll come packed with less Spyware and bloat than Windows 11.
I see you are unfamiliar with Chinese operating systems.
I’ll take that bet.

God Dammit Loch Ness Monster, I ain’t gonna give you no tree fiddy.
Honestly you may be right. However, China doesn’t have the best reputation and this company in particular has been caught adding hardware backdoors.
Windows is spyware but it isn’t actively malicious to my knowledge. It doesn’t compromise other devices on your network for lateral movement
Shits hilarious to me. 2 weeks ago Microsoft was literally the devil. But throw some blind nationalism into the mix and all is forgiven cuz China bad. Lol.
I guarantee if Huawei was based in Canada or France or Brazil my above post wouldn’t be quite so controversial.
I do think it is good to see user focused Windows alternatives. The problem is the Chinese government.
Good to see more stuff being built, even if it’ll probably justbbe Chinese spyware instead of red blooded 'Murican spyware lol.
Sounds like a fork of android, maybe it’ll be helpful getting nudging desktop OSs and wine/proton towards a better position on arm/risk devices if they go that route too.
A completely new OS meant to supplant Android and Windows but the apps are written in JS and extended Typescript? Not off to a good start…
How are your comments not in the public domain? That would void the entire purpose of the license.
Though personally I hope entire instances would be operated under such a licence.
No thanks
