Unity Operating System (also known as Unified Operating System[2] or UOS, Chinese: 统一操作系统) is a Chinese Linux distribution developed by UnionTech (Chinese: 统信软件, Tǒngxìn) based on Deepin,[3] which is based on Debian. It is used in China as part of a government initiative beginning in 2019 to replace foreign-made software such as Microsoft Windows with domestic products.[4][5]

## Development

Three versions are currently under development, a desktop for regular users (Deepin), another for enterprises (UOS) and a server version (UOS).[6] A first beta version was released in 2019 and can be downloaded from the official website.[7][8] A first stable version was released on 14 January 2020.[3][9]

## Support

The operating system is primarily aimed at the Chinese market and is intended to replace Microsoft Windows in the country by 2022,[10][11][12] also known as "3-5-2 policy".[13] So far, the focus has therefore been primarily on in house hardware such as that from the semiconductor company Zhaoxin. The whole KX-6000 series is already supported by the desktop version as well as the KH-30000 series for server version.[2]

It was reported on July 23, 2022 that the operating system could support HarmonyOS app file format, hap .app.[14]

Broad support is planned, so platforms such as Loongson, Sunway or ARM are also to be supported.[15][1]
