North Korea’s Computer Operating System Looks Familiar

North Korea’s very own operating system, Red Star OS, has an interface that looks uncannily like Apple’s Mac OSX. Red Star OS will have Mac users feeling right at home. As long as home is always North Korea.

One of the differences between Red Star OS and OSX is the calendar. The year is 103, not 2014. Why? It has been 103 years since the birth of former North Korean leader Kim Il-sung. The North Korean Linux-based operating system’s interface previously mimicked Windows 7. The current version, released sometime in 2013 (sorry, the year 102), has switched to a Mac-esque interface.

The screenshots were taken by Will Scot, an American computer scientist who was lecturing in Pyongyang, at the end of 2013.
