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. It does not only include the best the open source world has to offer, but it has also created its own desktop environment called DDE or Deepin Desktop Environment which is based on the Qt 5 toolkit. Deepin focuses much of its attention on intuitive design. Its home-grown applications, like Deepin Software Centre, DMusic and DPlayer are tailored to the average user. Being easy to install and use, deepin can be a good Windows alternative for office and home use.

I've been using it on bare metal for the past month. I installed it on an old Imac (2013) and It runs like a dream, No crashing, no lagging. Really impressed so far

Deepin does not use modified version of gnome, they use Qt for their apps not GTK4, and they don't use mutter for their deaktop environment either.

All their apps are built from cero by them.

The only usable desktop environment. I wish more distros had it.

Been using deep since v15 or 17, always loved the beautiful desktop environment.

Missed opportunity to check if steam is in the deepin app store 😕

It's been a while since I ran Deepin on hardware, but it's not based on Gnome. The Window Manager was KWIN and building applications used Qt with their own set of libraries, not GTK like Gnome uses. So Deepin is on the opposite sides of Gnome.

Is it lightweight
Can I run it on my Lenovo IdeaPad Slim, AMD A9 4GB RAM.
Currently using Ubuntu, it runs smoothly

sir, i am mayank, when i install Deepin V23 Beta 3 On my 2013 HP Elitebook 840 G1 (With 8gb Ram and 512 GB of NVME SSD) it does not show any Drive I know you'll say that this is Deepin V23 Beta 3 So This version is unstable But Same with Deepin 20.9!!!! i Used UUI (universal usb installer) version 2.0.0.1 For Installing Without USB, Today i'll try using USB because on this same laptop last time i tried to install Deepin 20.9 It worked so i think there might be a problem with my Volume partition in Computer so i will try it using USB thanks!

I still prefer deepin 15.11 UI
The UI since Interface 20 seems intended for tablets, not desktops
