Canonical is eager to install Ubuntu kylin on all dell pc's that are destined for the chines public.

“When domestic users purchase Dell notebooks or desktops, what they’ll buy is already pre-installed with Ubuntu Kylin,”

Dell and Canonical are global partners for a while now, Dell has already offered laptops with Ubuntu but never on such a large scale.

Ubuntu kylin is a variation of the popular Linux distro Ubuntu that focuses on the Chinese marked.

The OS is official supported by Chinese government who want it to be the reference OS in China.

Finally! I can't wait for Ubuntu to become more mainstream, because I would have already switched, but there is so many compatibility issues that it becomes complicated

This sounds like it will be a positive thing. I think that more people embracing Linux would only serve to advance technological development... As long as people stay away from my favourite Linux distro's backtrack/Kali

I am good at computer

LINUX REVOLUTION!!! Seriously ^_^ Ubuntu is my favourite distro and I'm glad Dell is going to be promoting this; all we need is to get some of the less technological people using Ubuntu as their distro demanding support for it and BAM! Linux support for everyone ^_^

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

Yes. maybe it will get microsoft to stop sitting around and actually make some improvements to windows so that their market share doesn't fall. Then again there will probably be much more software for linux so I might switch completely.
