Food for thought... I strongly suspect that this new OS will be coming from Huawei. It makes sense that a Chinese company develops an OS for their own government. We are in the spyware era, afterall. I wouldn't be surprised to hear, years later, that Huawei's "backup" effort was never to replace Android on consumer devices but to fork it for Chinese government use. It's too convenient an excuse to have so much work done on so many doomsday scenarios. Huawei, I think, was already tasked for the new OS(es) by China. Similarly, their efforts to replace Windows[0] was to provide their government with a "homegrown" OS solution. Not unlike Sailfish in Russia[1]. As much as I like the idea of a new OS competing on the world stage, preferably based on Open Source... it's simply not going to happen coming from either Huawei or China. Control of data is the the overriding motivator among nearly every tech firm and government. When these transitions take place (gov and Huawei consumer), I might as well be running RedStar OS or a US-based commercial alternative.
