From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i understand where you're going but that it's because we're fucked up by capital, but once you get past that... i don't see china having a lack of beautiful architecture that blends modernity with traditional style and everything in between. sure, if the us decides to build housing for the people, do whatever you can to make that possible, but it's not like we only need to do that.
Literally one of the first complaints libs have about Chinese cities is "copy paste skyscrapers everywhere." They have some variety in parts of the city but most of the residential areas are still "boring" and "homogeneous" and "designed to kill individualism" according to Western internet geniuses.
Evidently they've never visited one of those suburban subdivisions in their own country where all of the houses are built to the same blueprint. Same effect, slightly different scale.
