Operating system

[Meliodas]

I was wondering as to which operating system is Pakistan using for its indigenously and purchased weapon systems.

Are we using Windows or Linux. I'm asking as it can play a major role in cyber security.

A version of Linux customized for Pakistan would be very cool.

Windows 98 i reckon.

I just saw a Chinese rainbow drone video and saw win xp. So I became curious

Probably some custom linux distro. I don't think they will still be using XP since Microsoft is no longer providing updates/patches.

Windows 98 i reckon.

Cracked version downloaded through torrent

Govt. of Pakistan should spend some money on research and development of new software and task IT universities to write the Bios codes, kernels, and other stuff. Its time-consuming process but the end results will lift us and reduce the factor of cyber spying.

WinXP with the source code checked through similiar to what the Russians have

Can we check source code of any windows product?

Agreed. Should start with a modified Linux version.

Thanks for update

Also China developed an OS called Linux Kylin which has a GUI which is basically a Windows XP ripoff.

Any idea how linux works ?
or anything to substantiate your post ?
Start here = X Windows ( and X Windows is not Windows XP)

I have been using Linux for the past 11 years. And yes I know what the X Window system is...it basically powers the GUI on many Unix based OSs.
As for sustantiating, how about this: https://thehackernews.com/2015/09/neokylin-china-linux-os.html

No need to be so patronizing.

But Militaries still use them due to their reliability. Many computer systems of the United States military use Windows XP. It's stable and well developed, but the end of Microsoft technical support has caused concern there too.
