It explains why for ex. Xiaomi themes it's mobile OS (MIUI) to appear more iOS-ish.
Unfortunate name [0] :| or perhaps it was intended? Very clever then. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingoism
The company is called Jingling which seems to be a Chinese city, so I highly doubt they named it after some obscure English expression.
(鲮, romanised as Ling, is another water animal known as "mud carp".)
This looks like a legal nightmare. I mean there are all kinds of protections of visual thinks like e.g. design patents. I would be highly surprised if this doesn't violate at least one or two apple hold still valid design patents or other protection mechanisms. Because lets be honest design/visual wise it's less iPad/iOs inspired but a bland clone of the iOs design on iPad with some/many minor but in the grater pictu…

It's a user interface, therefore it has to be familiar. What if cars all had the steering wheel in a different location?
(I’m not a lawyer so have no idea if this JingOS legally OK or not, but there is a difference between familiar and clone).
FreeOffice from SoftMaker is my choice now.
I wonder if this is going to be the OS of choice for flea-market iPad counterfeits/knockoffs... the Files screen even says "On my Pad" in the shown screenshot. Everything looks close enough to be able to possibly fool an untrained eye.
Pad is also a star trek throw back, and a word. I don't see why apple should have dominion on that word. Short and succinct.
This could look awesome on my Pixel C!

But you can have a design patent for the "looks and feel" of your headsup display to some degree. You can't make it cover what is one the display or that important parts are highlighted. But you can potentially cover the color pallet and how exactly you arrange information of the same not high importance level.
I.e. in context of JingOs the way they cluster settings especially combined with the used color schema and similar aspects are very likely covered by design patents.
Similar that notifications are a list of swipe-able settings in a box can't be covered by design patents, but that it has that graish color with that level of transparence, rounded corners, and similar might very well be covered.
I personally don't like design patents but they are a thing which exists.
Lastly the copy is so close that it might not just cause conflicts with design patents but also with copyright on the visual parts (not the underlying code!) of iOs.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am very sure Pratchett is well known even in Sweden. What are the reviews for Romeo and Juliet? And again - not knowing Pratchett doesn't say that one isn't literate. The statement is "most genuinely literate people will know Pratchett". Stop being so defensive for nothing, nobody is attacking your intellect here...
Besides not really sure how I am being "so defensive"? I made one comment agreeing with somebody
You're turning my statement around and perceive it as if I was suggesting Swedish people are not literate. That's not what I'm saying yet you're defending the Swedes.
