Looks like more 3rd party are jumping into the Open Harmony and creating variants similar to the Linux distro ecosystem for PC they are selling. The Kaihong looks to have Microsoft apps, not sure how they manage to get that there. Maybe port? wine? android virtualization?

I wonder when (if ever) they will decide to standardise on one.

So many OSes out there at the moment

Is that k key in red just cosmetic or can it function as a mouse pointing device?

Almost certainly just cosmetic, as it still has a fullsize trackpad. The "red on black" aesthetic is likely a subconscious attempt to associate themselves with the red pointing stick from ThinkPad's designers, which is extremely highly regarded. It may be just a design flurish, but nonetheless very clever.

You answered your own question. They are all valid options for the Chinese phone makers. But I think most of them will stay in the comfort zone that is to keep using Android. By doing so, they know that they will remain the piece of meat on the cutting board. It is just not easy for others to become another Huawei.

On a related note, the Linux Foundation has started targeting individual developers of Russian origin.

with no particular mention.
The explanation for the removal is simply "various compliance requirements". Given that the developers involved all appear to be of Russian origin, it is not too hard to imagine what sort of compliance is involved here. There has, however, been no public posting of the policy that required the removal of these entries.

Huawei is still not operating 100% in Russia.

The Russian government has been sponsoring Aurora OS for smartphones. Which is some fork of the Sailfish OS.
In theory if the software can be maintained by a Russian domiciled company which has the source code made available to them it will be considered Russian software and can then be purchased by the government.

Russian consumers do not have any limitations.

I don't think they need to. Huawei and HarmonyOS will set themselves apart by developing the OS like iOS and make it the reason people choose Huawei over any other phone that uses Android.
