Very few companies use “a language” even Google / Facebook. Guaranteed you can find a dozen+ languages in existence at a large company. Even if it’s just a utility on someones computer that only that employee uses. Yep, going from a Mac Plus to an SE-30 is probably the closest experientially to my MacBook Pro 15/Intel Mac Mini- M1 Mac Mini in my memory. Form factor basically same, screen the same, OS the same, yet somehow the qualitative feel changes with the new responsiveness. I don't switch to any Mac other than the M1 now except of necessity because.
I'am quite new to Linux and Red Star OS and would like to install and manage applications on Red Star OS(root and internet access already gained). Unfortunaly it's not that easy because the usual commands aren't available and it's quite difficult to install them.
If you ever needed confirmation that the Windows Era is drawing to a close, this is it: The new version of North Korea’s Red Star OS, which previously mimicked Windows XP, now looks like Apple’s OS X. Yes, all twelve of the North Korean citizens who have been granted the esteemed privilege of owning and using a PC by the supreme leader are now forced to use a Mac-like interface on a daily basis.

Historically, North Korea — just like China and other large swaths of Asia — has used old, pirated, and typically heavily modified versions of Windows. Back in 1999, trying to reduce its reliance on Western tech, China began development of Red Flag Linux. In 2002, probably following suit, North Korea’s government-run IT research center (the Korea Computer Center) started developing Red Star OS.

Red Stare Mac Os X
Due to the secretive nature of North Korea, all the information we have about Red Star comes from international students and academics who have occasionally picked up a copy of the OS from the Pyongyang University shop. As of version 2.0, Red Star OS uses the Linux 2.6 kernel and KDE 3.x for the user interface (and there’s actually a torrent of Red Star 2.0, if you want to take a look yourself). Red Star 3.0, despite the radical overhaul to look like OS X, doesn’t appear to have made the jump to KDE 4.x, and there’s no confirmation on which version of the Linux kernel it uses (probably 3.x).

Looking at the screenshots compiled by North Korea Tech, it’s actually quite impressive just how far North Korea has gone to accurately mimic the UI of OS X. The rounded corners, window drop shadows, and menu bar gradients, are all pretty well done. The dock, after some rudimentary analysis, appears to have been custom built by the Korea Computer Center — and while static images can’t tell us if it feels like OS X, it certainly looks the part. Beyond the OS itself, it appears Red Star 3.0 has a built-in web browser, a video player, and a contact manager and email client. In Red Star 2.0 the browser was based on Firefox, but it isn’t clear if that’s still the case. Wine, the Windows emulator, is also installed by default.

As for why Red Star now looks like OS X, we’ll probably never know. It’s not like Apple is suddenly selling millions of laptops in North Korea, forcing the state-run Korea Computer Center to release a version of Red Star that the population will understand. Maybe the director of the KCC grew bored of the Windows look-and-feel, which Red Star had used for over 10 years. Or perhaps the answer is even simpler: Maybe supreme leader Kim Jong-un is a bit of an Apple fan, and thus decreed that the entire country should follow suit.
