1. Ubuntu Kylin
Ubuntu Kylin is a flavour of Ubuntu, developed by Chinese company, Canonical, with the goal of providing a free software operating system for Chinese users. The OS is mainly focused on the Chinese market and has features that cater to the Chinese market, such as integration with Baidu services. Japan is another country to have a large number of smartphone users and Ubuntu Kylin has lots of value for those who use smartphones. The OS provides the user with a more flexible layout for navigation on the screen, games, other multimedia and applications. There are also many added features that appeal to different types of people: The key benefit you’ll see from using Ubuntu Kylin is its eye-catching design and easy-to-use interface that is designed for those who use smartphones. It gives access to a desktop-like experience with iconic launcher apps and Ubuntu applications, such as the Files app and the Dashboard. If you’re already using Ubuntu but find it too restrictive for your needs, give Ubuntu Kylin a look if you find it too drastic a change. It comes at a very affordable price too. Just head to Canonical’s website to download and install the OS and enjoy. The Magic Keyboard for MacBooks has a trackpad so you can use the Mac on your lap or on your desk. It connects via Bluetooth or the USB-C port on your MacBook. You can achieve this trackpad functionality either by pressing down on the trackpad or by using gestures. Drawing with the Magic Keyboard attaches the trackpad right to the back of the keyboard, which allows you to fully use the function of the trackpad. You can dictate text using the trackpad, switch between apps using gestures and use your cursor without the need for additional mouse support. It’s a great way to run your MacBook on your lap, which could be useful for relaxation or productivity. If you switch between apps using gestures, you won’t find any external monitors present on your MacBook during these gestures.
2. Ubuntu Kylin 16.04 LTS
I just installed Ubuntu Kylin 16.04 LTS in a virtual machine using VirtualBox 5.0.14 on my Windows 10 computer. The installation was successful. However, it was not possible to login to my desktop using the username "ubuntu" and the password "ubuntu". I had to login with the username "kubuntu" and the password "kubuntu".The first thing I did was to make sure that I had downloaded the ISO file for this release using Ubuntu’s multimedia interface. You can select “download image” and then use the drop-down box to select the folder where you want to save the ISO file. Head over to your Downloads folder to find ISO 64. From here on, I will refer to this folder as “Ubuntu Kylin”, because I have only installed the 64-bit version. In VirtualBox, select the ISO file you downloaded and run it. Press OK to return to Windows Explorer and you should be greeted with a prompt to choose an OS X virtualisation device. I am using a HyperV Virtual Machine, but you can use Parallels or VMware to run the OS X installation CD. Once that is done, we’re ready to continue. Follow the Ubuntu installation guide to create a new Ubuntu profile, link it to an account, and install software updates. Once your computer is fully setup, I’d recommend reading through the Ubuntu Kylin release notes linked on the project’s Facebook page, as they provide some useful information about the particular release. Take a look at this screen shot of my screen, which contains information about Ubuntu Kylin 16.04. To find out more about Ubuntu Kylin 16.04, including the release notes, go to the project’s Facebook page. Here you’ll find links to information about the release notes, installation guides, the community, and news about upcoming Ubuntu releases. Video in 4K and 1080p is supported by this release, although, since the majority of the world still views videos in 1080p, I would strongly recommend keeping your downloads in Royale resolution.

3. Ubuntu Kylin 16.04 LTS Features
Ubuntu Kylin 16.04 LTS features an elegant and easy-to-use graphical user interface localized in Chinese and designed specifically for Chinese users. Ubuntu Kylin 16.04 LTS is a free, open source software operating system that is based on the popular Ubuntu operating system. Ubuntu Kylin 16.04 LTS inherits many of the most prominent features of its parent operating system, including a myriad of useful tools and an applications field that caters to the needs of everyday users. Ubuntu Kylin is targeted at PC and laptop users who would like a more familiar and actionable experience. It is a stable release, which means that it contains every important security update for Ubuntu 16.10 (Xenial Xerus). It runs smoothly and remains fast even if you are working with lots of tabs open alongside media. The operating system features a light Dark Theme, 100% or similar web colour schemes, a convenient Bluetooth and Files applications, a discreet system tray icon, large touch targets, as well as dock gestures, status bar clocks, and task switchers. It is downloaded from the official website, or can be installed using the official PPA. You can read more detailed information at the official Ubuntu website. The addition of an organised and user-friendly full graphical interface in Chinese means that you no longer need to learn a new language to access this operating system, rather than experiencing one that is more complex and lacks essential features. To some, this makes a significant difference especially if you are new to Linux or operating systems. Learning a simplified Chinese keyboard layout will allow you to effectively use this operating system. The people of China have a strong preference for Simplified Chinese over Traditional Chinese, further proving the target audience for this operating system. However, the fossilised Chinese character for “漢月”, which means dawn, is hard for many people to remember. Simplified Chinese, on the other hand, is sound and produces unique in-built character sounds and pronunciations, such as the simplified Chinese pronunciation for the word for “dawn” in Simplified Chinese: 昔月.
4. Ubuntu Kylin 16.04 LTS Desktop Environment
Ubuntu Kylin is a Chinese Linux distribution for Chinese users. It was created by Canonical Ltd., the company behind Ubuntu. Ubuntu Kylin is based on Ubuntu, and the Chinese language pack is selected by default during installation. Ubuntu Kylin uses the Unity desktop environment by default, but it can be switched to GNOME Shell, the default desktop environment of Ubuntu. The first thing you will notice when you boot into Ubuntu Kylin is the Chinese locale. I have included a screen recording of me typing in Chinese, using a Google Keyboard, a Microsoft Smart Keyboard, and a third party keyboard. However, I have added a few modifications since then, which you can see in the video recording. The typical Ubuntu user will be used to spaces, much like the login screen when logging in from the CLI. The seats in schools are nearly always sitting alongside a row of space computers with specific languages for students to learn. In a similar vein, Ubuntu Kylin has hacked spaces (similar to the spaces found in terminals) for you. You may also be surprised to see a list of available keyboard layouts in the menu at the boot prompt. These include common layouts such as Microsoft terminator (used by a lot of complex administrative tasks) which are not available in traditional Chinese languages yet. There are multiple download options for installing this distribution as a standard image stored on a USB drive. If you have a multi-boot system, you will need to choose which language should be the default (this will take precedence over any locale changes you may have previously made). If you are not using multi-boot systems, then the operating system will default to English. One of the main features of Ubuntu Kylin is the availability of Canonical services. A lot of applications are available through the Ubuntu services menu, including digital workshops, calendar, contacts, games,pdf creators, language localisation, language packs (earning high praise from users who use different languages).
5. Ubunutu Kylin Software Center (Kylinshi)
Kylinshi is a software center for ubuntu. It provides a clean and easy interface for users to install applications, along with all the features you would expect from a software center. It’s currently under active development, and has an active community. Ubuntu Kylin takes inspiration from Android, but may differ from Google’s Nougat in some areas. It includes the usual Ubuntu app store and other Ubuntu applications, such as bookubuntu, media player and manager. To make installation of apps a bit more user-friendly, Ubuntu provides a tab for installing the app through the menu at the top right of the screen. If that doesn’t work or if you just can’t manage finding the application in the menu, there is an always-searchable app drawer at the bottom-left. The drawer can also be improved by adding widgets to let you display information readily on your home screen. Installation from the internet is relatively simple in both older and newer versions of Ubuntu. There are connections from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and from the internet, where your sim card is connected. Often the first step of the installation process will bring you to these steps. With Ubuntu Kylin you can install most applications from Ubuntu repositories as applications, or make your own PPA package from a full-repository installation. Other software can only be installed through the Ubuntu Store, an app store providing apps specific to Ubuntu. Starting from the main page of the app, you will see some quick links at the top, before you hit on the more tab. Here you can install additional apps directly from within the app, or from the web or from the command line. The app gathers latest info from a number of sources, including Notes, Dash, Calendar and Music. While Discover allows you to browse through the app’s repositories based on categories such as art and games, from the app menu you can also access Manage, Settings and Apps.
