deepin (formerly, Deepin, Linux Deepin, Hiweed GNU/Linux) is a Debian-based distribution (it was Ubuntu-based until version 15 released in late 2015) that aims to provide an elegant, user-friendly and reliable operating system.

Being easy to install and use, deepin can be a good Windows alternative for office and home use.

For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

Deepin 23.1 is a polished, visually appealing distro that excels in delivering a modern desktop experience. While not as lightweight as XFCE or as bleeding-edge as Arch, it strikes a balance between elegance and practicality. Recommended for users who value design and ease of use over absolute customization. Beginner-Friendly: Ideal for Windows/macOS migrants.
App Ecosystem: Robust app store with one-click installs.
Customization: Tweaks for themes, docks, and workflows.Fewer crashes compared to earlier versions, though occasional bugs persist (e.g., Wayland session glitches).

I'm currently using Deepin 23.1 and I really like it. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro, and I gave it a second life by installing a solid-state drive and upgrading the memory to 8GB. With this configuration, Deepin runs very well—it's fast and responsive, and the battery lasts over 4 hours. I replaced the battery a year ago.
The main use I give the computer with Deepin is for development, so with PostgreSQL, Python, and Visual Studio Code, along with the built-in web browser, I also installed Microsoft Edge, and with this ecosystem it works well. I'm going to try version 25 alpha to see how well it runs on this machine with this configuration.

I like in fact the whole system .

The colors and the different software is doing quite well and I am rally attracted to the set-up both in system as well in colors.
Easy to use and to find the software, and if one can not find something the hlp is available.


However I can not find te printer (brother HL 1100), which means that this product does at the end has no value at alll.

I asked many time please do help me to be able the printer HL-1100 or HL 1200. But I think others could not find the printer also.

Such a piity
