Recently, it was reported thatThis month, Microsoft's Windows operating system supply license to Huawei will expire. After that, Huawei's PCs can only adopt a nationalization plan, that is, launch PC products using domestic chips + domestic operating systems.According to the Financial Associated Press,A person familiar with the matter responded: "The license granted by the U.S. Department of Commerce has expired and has not been extended."
In order to deal with this, Huawei has launched a Linux version of its notebooks, which only have Linux systems shipped from the factory.Users need to install the system by themselves, or they can seek help from offline stores.
Taking MateBook D16 as an example, the Linux version is priced at 4,299 yuan, which is 300 yuan cheaper than the Windows version.
According to blogger "Uncle Kanshan" broke the news, in addition to MateBook D16, Huawei will also launch Linux versions of MateBook D14, MateBook14, MateBookGT14 and MateBookXPro.
In fact, as early as September last year, Yu Chengdong publicly admitted that Windows PC may stop supplying the last batch, and the Hongmeng PC version will be used in the future.
It is expected that the Hongmeng PC version will follow the same route as the mobile phone system. In the early stage, it will be compatible with Windows software through an emulator, allowing users to transition seamlessly.
After the user scale develops, it will work with various software manufacturers to build a pure-blood Hongmeng ecosystem and achieve complete independence in the future.
