    The FOSS movement is one that we want to expand as much as possible. We want our friends, governments and gamers to switch to using more open platforms so everyone benefits.

    But somewhere along the line people forgot there’s a world outside Western culture - and billions of people don’t even have a gateway to FOSS. Said differently, there is so much potential to grow FOSS development in other countries and languages. Despite the power users and advanced hardware state, Linux is hardly even heard of in Korea.

    If a Korean were to find Linux, and were to install it, it’s still almost impossible to use without Korean input - and therein lies the problem. Most people would shrug and assume it’s as trivial as enabling French, Russian, or any other input - but it’s not. Korean input is uniquely non-trivial, and varies greatly from DE to DE, let alone distro to distro.

    No Korean input is a showstopper, so this channel started with the dedication of providing bilingual tutorials on it. You can see written versions of those tutorials here: https://linuxreviews.org/Category:Korean_Input_HOWTOs
