#2I regularly see articles pop in here about OS development happening in China but I find it very hard to find resource in English about what’s actually happening.
Could anyone give an overview of what Huawei and Vivo are doing? I understand it’s mostly RTOS to use on phone. How does it compare to QNX and Linux? Is it as ambitious as Fuchsia?
Apparently they are shipping. It’s weird that we have reached a point where there seem to be two worlds not talking to each other much.

I think there might be more of this coming. The era where US was leading everything and expecting everyone to be a good boy who report everything is long gone due to the current state of affairs in the tech world.
I'm not Chinese but I can only support such efforts that make everyone less reliable on main actors. That said they even share their work so it's not like they are going full mute.

My understanding is that Harmony OS is a full fledge OS at this point. We will start hearing more about it when devs will need to support it for their mobile apps that ship to LATAM and Africa.

It's challenging for open source communities in the west to collaborate with their counterparts in China primarily because of language, but also the collaborations can't really happen in the public places that we're all used to. Western social platforms are blocked in China, and Chinese social platforms are not appealing to the west for one reason or another. Even places like Github are frequently blocked on partially inaccessible in China.
So there really just isn't any good place for people to meet and collaborate, and learn from each other.

For years I've had this issue with pretty much everything happening in China, from business to politics to culture. For me personally, getting a window into China has been the number one game changer with LLMs. It's easier than ever to find and digest Chinese sources.

#7From their website (translated): Blue River Operating System 2 is the industry's first operating system written in the Rust language from the kernel to the system framework. A series of security features of the Rust language can detect security vulnerabilities caused by improper memory use during the compilation stage, making it inherently more secure from the source.

#8It appears there's a book? How can I see it without compiling it?

It's time to learn Chinese. Especially with advances in RISC-V

I don't think there's really a book yet, at least in English.
