Despite a minor increment in the version number (from 15.3 to 15.4), this is a major release with many improvements and package upgrades: "deepin 15.4 has brand new design for Control Center and desktop. It adopted new blur and transparent style, new interactions for hot corner and window manager, along with selective wallpapers, full-screen installation interface, latest stable kernel version and original Deepin applications. It has added traditional Chinese (Hong Kong) and Amharic language support. The Control Center has brand-new design and interactions; the homepage shows quick-access icons for common settings to make the operation easier and faster. The newly designed installer has full-screen interface, fuzzy background, smart detection, friendly reminder and 'scan QR code for feedback'; you can experience the incredible pleasure of deepin just after drinking a cup of coffee."

Distribution Release: deepin 25 |
|
The deepin distribution team has announced version 25 of its operating system. The deepin distribution includes the new Deepin Desktop Environment 7.0, an immutable filesystem, and an AI assistant which responds to voice commands. "We deeply understand the importance of system stability for users. To this end, deepin 25 proudly introduces 'solid' (deepin immutable system), redefining the benchmark for stability in Linux operating systems. Read-only protection, preventing core tampering - by forcibly mounting core directories like /usr/bin as read-only, the system fundamentally blocks accidental user actions or malware from modifying the system core, ensuring long-term stable operation. For developers needing deep customization, we also provide a convenient command to toggle protection on/off instantly. Second-level snapshots, upgrade without worry - before every system update, the system automatically creates a backup snapshot. Even if something unexpected happens during the update, the system can automatically roll back to the last known good state upon reboot, eliminating 'update-bricking' anxiety." Details on these features and more can be found in the release announcement. Download: deepin-desktop-community-25-amd64.iso (6,028MB, SHA256, torrent, pkglist). |
