Xiaomi Mi 6 never dies and now also supports Linux based UOS

October 5, 2020

What is the most loved Xiaomi smartphone ever? obviously Xiaomi Mi 6. So much loved that during the first of April of this year the brand, through official figures, had announced one special version updated to 2020. Unfortunately, however, it was a bad joke, even if we know that underneath the company is plotting something. It wouldn't be a misstep after all: also Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has re-proposed a dated device but with new generation hardware and made a "bang" in terms of sales. In any case, the device in question is much loved also for the amount of ROM it supports, including Uniontech's latest Linux based OS.

A very special and exclusive ROM (UOS) is now available for Xiaomi Mi 6: a glory that not even time can destroy

I feel like I'm a little bit romantic speaking of Xiaomi Mi 6 since it was my very first love. Consequently I can not help but speak well and wish him a new life. New life that will be slow in coming, however, as the smartphone has never died and will hardly do so. In fact, news of the successful installation of a very unique Linux based ROM, or Uos, Short for Unity Operating System. But before seeing the video showing the device at work, a brief description of the OS in question.

What is Uniontech UOS and how it was born

It is a Linux distribution developed by the homonymous Uniontech e commissioned by the People's Republic of China for replace, by 2022, the best known Microsoft Windows operating system. In reality, the goal is to replace, in the long term, all foreign operating systems. The first beta of the program was born in 2019 while the first version stable was released in early 2020. The support that China promises is very wide and there is also talk of expanding it to platforms such as AMR .

Xiaomi Mi 6: how does Uniontech UOS work?

Made a general overview of the OS in question, let's see how it runs. As you may have guessed it is a PC OS or at least it was born like this. However, the developers took a huge leap forward by creating a porting for the above device.

More than anything else, the ability of this device to support such loads is surprising. In this regard, we recall the (very successful) experiment in which the protagonist was Windows 10 ARM64 instead of UOS. All thanks to the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 that precisely manages not to yield to the workload. If you are used to the world of modding we will leave you everything you need to proceed with the installation.
