    Chinese people use the same distros we do generally. But Linux is seen as much more of a professional thing there, and i think the people using it probably just compile things themselves, and have less of a need for flatpak. Huawei actually had a Linux laptop they were offering for sale for awhile, and a lot of the people buying it were having the store clerk put a cracked version of windows on it for them lol.

        I think its because they just see it as the “OS non-techies should use” but as Huawei’s Harmony OS becomes more popular i expect that to take over a good bit of that market.
