Ubuntu Kylin – official Chinese version of Ubuntu
Quoting: Ubuntu Kylin - official Chinese version of Ubuntu - LinuxLinks —
Ubuntu Kylin is the official Chinese version of the Ubuntu distribution. It is intended for desktop and laptop computers.
The lightweight Ubuntu Kylin User Interface (UKUI) is good for older machines, and an ideal introduction to Linux for first-time users. Its visual appearance is reminiscent of Windows 7. UKUI is a fork of the MATE Desktop Environment.
Ubuntu Kylin is optimized for Chinese users and the default language is Chinese. But there’s the option to switch to English immediately after booting from a USB stick.

China’s preferred desktop Linux, openKylin, debuts AI PC cut
Developers behind openKylin, the desktop Linux distro backed by China's National Industrial Information Security Development Research Center, have decided local users need to take advantage of Intel's Meteor Lake silicon and the neural processing units it includes, tuning the latest release of the OS to Chipzilla's AI PC SoC.
The openKylin community operates 112 – yes, one hundred and twelve! – special interest groups, nine of them dedicated to AI. They've clearly been busy because openKylin 2.0, which debuts today, has added the "Kylin AI Assistant" that offers natural language processing to allow voice control of PCs. The tool is said to handle chores like opening or closing system applications, or activating Bluetooth.
Text-to-image generation is another addition, as is a meeting assistant that can analyze recordings of vidchats and spit out a written summary. A writing assistant can "expand, polish, or translate" text, and a schedule manager can discern text in an email pertaining to a meeting and – if you select the relevant words – convert them into an appointment in your calendar.
