lol who would willingly use Harmony?
Windows users probably.
Windows user here: Fuck no.
Who doesnt want an “anti fraud” app running on your devices all the time. Daddy Xi really wants to protect all his beloved children from the evil foreign “scams” by actively
monitoringlooking out for all under hisreignprotection!So exactly the same thing the tech bro CEOs are doing, except they’re doing it to sell all of our information, without any nice words towards our protection.
China’s govt may be shitty, but so are ours. And all of them are doing nearly identical shit to the citizenry. It’s so goddamn exhausting.
I have a feeling they’d lock them down and prevent alternate os installs.
Exhibit A: You can easily find bootloader-unlockable phones in the west (Google, Motorola), and in Europe, even some of the Chinese phonese are bootloader unlockable. But in mainland China, bootloader unlocks are being being heavily restricted.
Extrapolating from this behavior, its not hard to see them doing the same in the future for personal computers.
if or when Linux works on that system, that’ll be a viable option.
Just like with cars, they will work hard to turn this into a viable alternative within a short timeframe. Once a Chinese laptop running Linux on ARM at comparable performance but half the cost of an american one hits store shelves, it’ll be game over.
Yeah I’ll believe it when I hold it.
How’s the graphics card?
There’s no separate graphics card, it’s an ARM-based SOC.
I would not expect it to be anything even remotely special in terms of performance. Enough to drive a display or two, accelerate video and GUI elements, run some light games. It doesn’t need to do anything more - and more isn’t within the capabilities of Chinese chip manufacturers anyway.
