While I've been considering buying a brand new PC and mobile phone (for absolutely no reason whatsoever; totally a coinkidink that I considered it at this point in time), I decided to also look up what China's own operating system was (because obviously they would have their own operating system; why would they make absolutely everything else and NOT make their own operating system?) and I was like 'ooooh, that looks cool! This Kylin OS!' only to watch a video expounding on it and revealing it's a Linux based operating system.

Hexbear Linux users are to China what Israel is to America CMV

I just want a normal operating system where I double click an app to activate or install it, and it has full functionality no ifs and or buts with my OS, and I can rightclick and get all the necessary functionalities of rightclicking.

sudo install better OS

Stupid dressed up DOS like operating system; yeah cause I really want to type up lines of instructions to do what windows can do with a double click; cause I want to spend two hours googling how to install non-Linux compatible software on Linux, and then spend two hours finding out why the solution didn't work making me feel like Indiana Jones excavating cursed ruins for a treasure you could've gotten at Walmart.

There's no OS better at being Windows than Windows, so it sounds like you've already found what you want. Why the hostility?

I want Windows but from China; I'm planning on buying a new PC soon and decided I'm getting one from there and thought I'd get a Chinese OS to go with it but had hoped to find Chinese Windows basically.

Chinese Windows basically

Install windows and set the language to Chinese

So you want Windows, but with a Chinese company running it instead of Microsoft? That not only doesn't exist but cannot exist unless Microsoft decided to give away every single one of their trade secrets to a hypothetical Chinese competitor.
