I was an Ubuntu user from 11.04 to 18,10. but there was a very annoying problem in ubuntu and i wanted to get rid of that. I've searched for a distribution with good vpn settings and found out that Deepin is a very good one for this job. and the fact is it's beautiful too. the whole UI looks polished.
The GOOD parts :
nice login screen , fine file manager , extremely handy dock , VPN connections and it's very nice terminal
The BAD parts :
1) Deepin store is SHIT !!! (it has old apps with some strange bugs! try installing firefox with the store and you'll know what i'm talking about)
2) Very slow update downloading because of weak servers.
3) Freezes sometimes (on a laptop with 12GBs of ram and Core i5 cpu)
4) lacks some of the settings although the settings part is beautiful!
5) telegram desktop launches 20 seconds late. (it wasn't slow on ubuntu)

deepin is a beautiful distribution, its default aesthetics are probably the best of any distribution, with the possible exceptions of elementary OS, Solus and Ubuntu Kylin. Its store is intuitive and I like that it allows you can select apps for installation while another install transaction is underway (it saves your install requests and performs them when it can).
While it is based on Debian unstable, many of its packages are kept behind for further testing before they enter the main repositories, which may give some more stability to the distro, although in my experience APT pinning with it tends not to work as a means of getting newer packages. Its use of Debian unstable as its base means that the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) cannot be used to package for it (Debian testing and stable releases are the only versions that can be packaged with it). Despite it keeping packages back for further testing I have noticed it is more buggy than most distros.
Its development team has included a few user-requested packages in its repos that are not in Debian unstable's repos as well, which is a nice touch. They also include newer versions of Eclipse in their repos than are in Debian unstable's repos; the Eclipse package in Debian unstable's repos are of Eclipse 3.8, which was released over five years ago!
The fact it comes with Flatpak pre-installed and its installer (i.e. how you install the distro to your PC, not to be confused with the software store, although it is user-friendly too) being very beginner-friendly are definite pluses too.
Its forums have been quite helpful for me, even though its website does include some Chinese text, even when you choose the English version of the website (https://bbs.deepin.org/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=149372&extra=).
Personally I think despite its flaws it deserves to be in the "Beginners" category.

I like this, and always using. I would like an explorer easy to select, change name + change extension, I don't like any explorer today on most popular OS - I think that must be realy beautiful and to do everything with folders and files, any sort, folders and files, any way selected in sorted, select sorted time dates files and do and do copy paste move delete rename single mass rename. Ok very thank everybody for your briliant work!!

I have to lower my rating after been using Deepin for a while. I was first a bit dissapointed that they had so old versions of software in their repo (Timeshift, Vivaldi browser, firejail mainly for me) but I let it go because Deepin is so beautiul and I can always install them manuallyg. I have noticed that with system updates Deepin downgrades all my manually updated software to the same old version they have in their repo, so you have to manually install them again if you want updated software. Very disappointing and annoying. No response from Deepin on why they would do such thing. Is it a bug or intentionally? I am now pondering on going back to Linux Mint Mate and use a Deepin theme instead :(

Can confirm Deepin downgrade installed software. It's pretty annoying since you can either downgrade or not install any updates unless you install them manually. Overall, it's fair distribution, but I can see many improvements.

Really great distro, beautiful desktop environment to begin with, very modern flexible without being overwhelming like KDE, the store has a bunch apps although not all them always up to date. o found it very stable and very lightweight even with blurred UI activated. it might be the best distro for new linux users simply because it is easy to setup the UI to match your workflow. if you're used to either Windows or Mac it does not matter you will feel at home.

Been testing a lot of distros lately, to use in my Asus laptop.
Having tested most of the top 10 distros, including Ubuntu, Mint, ElementaryOS and Manjaro KDE, I have to say I was pleasantly impressed with what Deepin has to offer.
I've installed the 15.7 version, and boy, what a treat!
It's learning curve is absolutely zero if you have experience with linux, but I'm also sure you'll have no problems if you're a Windows user. It's all very intuitive and uncomplicated.
On an AMD E2 Quad Core 7110, 4GB memory and 500GB SSD, Deepin takes just 8 seconds to boot. Having a SSD sure has in impact on the speed, but it's still impressive.
The interface is also very fast even with the desktop effects enabled.
Deepin's software center is amazing! You'll have all you need at the press of a button and aesthetically, it must be the prettiest software center in linux world. It's better than Elementary's Software Center and it's also functional. You'll also find the so called Deepin Software Family, a growing suite of software developed by the Deepin team, with video and audio players, system monitor, usb boot creator, and several other helpful apps.
Deepin is beautiful and functional, and during the last two weeks it's been a pleasure to interact with it.
I highly recommend it, I can hardly wait to see what the 15.8 version brings.

I've experimented with linux distributions for the last 20 years or so. I stumbled across this one recently and decided to give it a try. I think it may be the best one I've tried. Installation was simple and effective, and everything worked from the first boot, including wifi, bluetooth, and setting up my wireless printer. Performance seems to be excellent on older hardware (Q6600) on an older SSD. The software manager/installer works well. The preinstalled software covers most everything I need. The desktop appearance looks very clean and appealing. Overall, I'm extremely impressed.

Rating of five from me due to the fact that i can't get the Brother scanner to work and also the slow speed of updates. The people that make Deepin OS should realize that people do have fast internet and to slow the updates to a crawl is not welcome around the world, that is why Deepin sits at the position that it is on Distrowatch.

Intel i5 3.4Ghz. 24GB Ram. Clean install on 120GB SSD. Nvidia 1070. Tripple boot with Windows 10 and Linux Mint 19
I´ve been using Deepin for a month.
Runs fine. The most beautiful distro out of the box. Dont see any need to change anything in DE, unlike other distros where the first thing I do is to fix the DE (change theme) the way I want it. I dont understand the comparison to Apple OS DE, deepin is way more beautiful :P
Pros:
Beautiful,
Easy installation.
Fast.
Stable
Many nice Deepin branded software. Love the Terminal, slick videoplayer and deepin package manager.
Cons:
No Live ISO.
Didnt get the option during install to make a separate home partition.
Slow to update software in deepin repository
No response from support. They have a forum where other Deepin users help though.
It is a rolling distro but upgrading from 15.6 to 15.7 required a clean install of 15.7 to get Nvidia proprietary driver to work - for me. Could be configuration specific for me?

But the point is that there is no support for deepin users.
Nobody return your feedback, nobody even check you feedback. If there is an issue, you will wish an upgrade that will fix it. And it is so annoying

1. Amazing UI
2. Less bug
3. Super fast (Boot & Starting Apps)
4. Less RAM
5. I used it as my main desktop and I love it
6. Active development but not too much compare to Ubuntu or Mint
7. They already remove China Analytics from Store which user assume that is tracker (and Google Analytics is NOT a TRACKER :p)
----
Tips :
1. You need to change region to International on Deepin Store
2. Change your default update mirror on Setting > Update > Update Setting
3. Remove default Deepin Calendar which FLATPAK (slow start) to NON-FLATPAK version
Bad/Bug :
1. Small Launcher TIME not used same format as dock time
2. Bug that appear "SOMETIMES" and hard to replicate.
3. Application icon is hard coded. Its not change when we using different icon
4. Deepin apps (Store, FileManager, Music, Video, Image Viewer) not have "Use System Theme" function. This apps theme not change base on theme you set on setting because they used they own theme.

Definitely recommended deepin, for beginners to enjoy and love Linux. deepin is not only stable, but it's also beautiful. For me, a distro with an appealing UI is a huge impact for first time users to enjoy Linux, especially if it doesn't fail you (stable). My first Linux distro was Linux Mint Cinnamon and I had a very bad first time Linux experience with it. It was so incompatible with my hardware, plus the UI looked worse than Windows 10, which I thought I was supposed to be upgrading and not degrading. Took me half a year to once more give Linux a try, then I saw deepin, lured me in and now I'm here, almost an expert (jk).
Tip:
Download "Synaptic Package Manager" to install stuff that are not available in the Store and to avoid the frustration of installing them via terminal commands, even though you're still a newbie and doesn't yet gives af to terminal commands "yet". - My real happiness started when I installed Synaptic Package Manager.
Also download Conky Manager and learn to use it, to remove the boring in your desktop.
What I dislike in deepin: (-3)
- The Store, it's still sometimes slow even in International and not all apps are maintained to their latest version.
- Some important basic customizations are not available or lacking for more customizations.
- Problems with the latest versions of WINE via PlayOnLinux.
- The deepin watermark on the bottom left, during start up log in.
- The force use of 24-hour clock and without AM/PM indicator.
- Bluetooth audio would slightly stutter from time to time and be out of sync.
- My laptop will freeze coming from "Suspend Mode", when opening the lid.
- Screen tearing on PRIME Solution Graphics Driver or the NVIDIA Propriety Drivers.
Just my own opinion, could be not for your case but well, deepin needs lots of improvements.

I see lotsa folks out deh saying it needs a RAM of at least 8 or even 16 GBs to run decently. My experience differs, I only have 4 GBs of RAM, yet deepin runs smoothly and efficiently on my old Asus notebook which I bought used and refurbished in 2014.
So I am happy with the distro, my only complain being that I've read it has (or possibly used to have) a tracker somewhere. If this was true, I really hope the tracker be gone for good.
Cheers y'all.

The Deepin Desktop Environment is one of the best out-of-the-box looking desktop environments I've ever seen. Its not over simplified like gnome and its not extremely complicated like KDE. The settings menu is intuitive to navigate and I feel like it'll be a breath of fresh air to some older Linux users while being somewhat familiar to users coming over from Windows or Mac to Linux.
My only main complaint is that some of the deepin apps don't respect gtk theming in the slightest and I really do not advice using anything else then the built in light and dark themes. They're still excellent themes non the less.

Overall very polished and easy to install and use.
All of the deepin apps look nice. My only complaints are that app store can be slow to loadk, the music app often confuses songs with foreign titles of the same name and displays those lyrics, and the file manager lacks any form of permissions control like nautilus.
Despite the complaints, still the easiest OOB distro i've used, hands down.....and the best looking too.

Thinkpad T410, i-5, 8GB RAM
deepin has the most gorgeous installer of any distro including Windows and MacOS, the DE is very nice and Mac-esque, but that's where the fun stopped for me.
It is laggy, buggy and bloated, some things refused to open, and those that did had a 2-3 second delay before they opened after clicking, and I'm damned if I could find the logoff button. Considering these guys/girls have been at this for nearly 15 years you'd expect it to be free of major bugs.
Pros:
Installer is beautiful and easy to use
DE is very easy on the eyes and is easy to get used to
The app store is crammed full of goodies
Cons:
Laggy
Buggy
Heavy on resources
If you like DDE then maybe better to get it on top of Manjaro or Antergos.

Looks really nice. installation went fine on a clean SSD and I like the concept, but extremely slow download when downloading the distro and updating . I couldnt stand a download rate of max 100kb/s so I downloaded 15.6 from elsewhere and updated to 15.7
But couldn't change to the Nvidia non-free driver in "Deepin graphics driver manager". It just said "Download failed" and "couldn't switch" so, couldn't enable the windows effects and the GUI felt sluggish (when dragging windows, or starting apps) I tried to change to another mirror in my country instead of the official one, but that didnt help.
I am a distro hopper and have tried many, never had these kind of problems with others. I'lll try it when it has matured a bit. It just dont like my computer setup it seems.

There are too limited, if any, options for customizations. Options are very limited for the applications installed, for example, basic calculator where on a dollar store u can buy something better.
Installer is too bloated. at 2.3 gigs, there are only very few native applications and iso dont even have live-session to test out.
Not user friendly at all.

- DE puts more emphasis on the "looks" more than functionality of the applications
- applications have very minimal options available, if any. even the calculator is very basic.
- custom ui. custom options. custom everything. DE/distro tries to be different and forces users to use it how they wanted it.
- no or very minimal customizations available. gets kinda boring after awhile of use.
- cannot remove deepin apps
- installer is too bloated for the applications that installed and its available options.
- based on old debian release
- mirrors are slow
- annoying and very loud startup/shutdown sounds.
- file manager automounts other partitions i normally do not want mounted
- problems running and compiling qt applications despite having correct dependencies compared to plain debian or an arch-based install with deepin DE
- it sometimes auto-grabs window edges for some reasons, forcing windows to keep resizing until you close and reopen the app

- first impression always lasts, and the distro since i started to test this has too many apps that i do not need, or missing functionality. Movie player for example does not allow saving playlist.
- I always end up manually arranging menu since i never liked the unity/gnome full screen menus. Even changing to a classical menu, items are still confusing...
- File manager auto mounts random partitions by default, including my main windows partition, for who knows for why or what reasons...
- Distro tries to behave like Windows by having those annoying startup sounds.
- Too much colors used for my liking.
- Mirrors are slow, despite me being in Asia and so are the mirrors.
- No live iso?

Very pretty as many others have said. There aren't many distros I've tried where right after the install it looks so stunning. I'm a KDE fan (Kubuntu) and it takes some work to get it looking just how you want, but deepin looks brilliant freshly installed.
I would say this distro is ideal for Linux newbies who have no interest in fiddling with the "nuts and bolts" and want an OS that "just works" and this one does that very well indeed. You can tell the developers have put in a massive amount of work in designing and polishing this lovely distro. They have done a very professional job. The fact that it is a rolling release and based on Debian is also a big plus for me.
I only have a few minor gripes with it--
Although the default notification sounds are very nice, they are just SO LOUD (on my old HP EliteBook laptop at least). If I turn the volume down I can't hear other things so well.
I would like a faster repository mirror in my own country (NZ). The main Chinese update server is slow at times.
Not many customising options, but why would you want to?

I was pleasently surprised and Deepin exceeded my initial expectations a lot. From using it simply on my laptop it became my main distribution. Extremely polished and gorgeous. I would strongly reccommend it.

Most polished distro available. You can really tell that the developers have spent a lot of time looking at all the little details it takes to make a smooth and pleasant computing experience. Super fast & smooth, great looking, easy to manage, lots of custom apps to get things done, very well designed for both usability and visual eye-candy, great selection of software to start, and fully stocked "app-store".
Also great for people with Nvidia Optimus laptops - basically a hands free setup. Just click the Optimus choice in the driver manager and sit back and watch while everything is configured. Very nice! :-)

Launchpad animation sometimes flickers. I find the built in terminal oversimplified.
Other than that it is the best Distro. Everything just works and looks nice.
Needs more icon themes.

In my opinion, this Linux distribution is the most beautiful. However, this is also the only distribution that has forced my laptop to shut down due to overheating. Checking htop, my CPU is often under heavy load from the desktop and Firefox 58. The desktop also has a tendency to lock up under heavy load, and forces me to switch to another tty to restart X. Software is older, non-LTS, which is a security concern. Laptop is a Thinkpad x201 Tablet with i7, 8G RAM, and 128G SSD. Despite my rating, I have very high hopes for this distribution.

Deepin is very user-friendly and has a beautiful desktop environment.
Positive:
- Easiest OS installation process I have ever experienced.
- Transitions between login screen and the desktop are completely seamless. Any changes made to the desktop like resolution, background, fonts or scaling, also changes the login screen.
- Switching between open/proprietary drivers is very easy with Nvidia and Intel cards with the included app.
- All settings are available in one place, including changing boot menu options
- Fractional scaling that works
- Some tasks that otherwise can be complicated, is possible by just point and clicking (for example selecting apps to load on startup)
- All drives are auto-mounted by default
Negative:
- No option to choose a different browser or office package during installation
- AMD GPU drivers included and in the repository are old and barely work with recent Vega cards. Had to add official Debian repository to download recent drivers.
- Software available on the store is often very old versions. For example LibreOffice and GIMP is currently lagging behind a generation on the store. Flatpak is therefore my new best friend.
Deepin is a great distro that I have been running since release of 15.6 as my desktop OS. It is near perfect for my needs, arguably the most beautiful OS and most things are set up the way I want out of the box. However if you have any questions/trouble it can be a struggle to find answers as currently the userbase is mainly Chinese.
Also if you have a 1440p/1600p monitor, this is the only desktop environment that provides good fractional scaling. The Deepin settings GUI does however not give enough precision, but you can get around this by typing a command to set any scaling you like.
My suggestions: Keep popular software updated on the store. Make the display scaling slider have smaller increments. Update the AMD GPU drivers.

This is the easiest Linux Distro for beginners. It is also the most beautiful. So polished, near perfect. And I believe it will get better. It is based on Ubuntu 18.04, so, nothing to worry about the latest Linux applications and updates. The installation is so easy I did not need to do anything.
Best to use it as the only OS on the disk. I tried it on VMWare Fusion. It is smooth and fast.
We will find out more about it. If it is good and safe it will be known.

This distro is perfect for me. It's easy to use and very intuitive.
You can open the control center with one click and set everything there, you just have to scroll up and down, without opening many windows trying to find what you need. Very easy to update, as well as choosing a mirror close to you without any command in terminal.
Deepin is beautiful, clean and fast.
So far I had no problem with bugs. The only issue is that some applications take too long to open, such as deepin image viewer. But I found out it only happens when it's a Flatpak application. I unistalled all Flatpak apps and downloaded the regular deepin version from deepin store. Now all applications are fast.
The deepin store is very good, I could find everything I need. But unfortunately some applications are not up to date.

Deepin Linux is progressing in the right direction since version 15.3. Deepin Linux is easy to install on old or new hardware. Personally, I have tested installation on Laptops with core2 duo CPU to i7 CPU with 4K monitors. Installation has been flawless.
Driver support has matured too - they are not only including the Debian device driver package, but are also including Deepin Graphics device manager. All my PC hardware are Intel based and all of them has Nvidia graphics card, so I have not felt any hardships with driver support.
I replaced all my laptop hard disks with SSD drives, so now the boot time is about 8 seconds to the login screen. The interface is easy to use, intuitive, fast and simple. If you are a person who likes a lot of customization, then you might have to look elsewhere. Deepin provides 2 to 4 different looks and you are confined to that. It has not bothered me a bit, since I worry more about getting things done than beautification of my windows or screen.
Deepin store is much better than most application stores, may it be from Zorin or LinuxMint or PcLinuxOS. The Store includes a handful of android applications and some web based applications, which makes it feel like a standalone application. Examples are Outlook, MS Office online, Google Drive, etc. It does have its faults - sometimes, the interface does not load - it would show that it is still loading for minutes. At this point, I can force quit it and restart it, then it works fine. Similar to OS-X, sometimes rebooting the laptop or PC fixes things. Which is kind of strange.
Final thoughts - Deepin finally fixed the issue with HiDPI issue, which made me happy, as I had to force couple of my laptops to some weird resolution, to make it usable. Deepin still has some ways to go with maturing its OS to laptops. I would say, they are in the top 5 Desktop linux OSes, they have to fix some minor things to make it #1.

It is a very good linux distribution. The working style is very similar to windows and it solves some of the problems I care about:
1. Update without command line and very easy to select update source.
2. Graphics drivers are very easy to select and reduce the possibility of getting black screen.
3. The start menu is very similar to Windows.
4. The file manager is clean and easy to use.
5. Other function such as screenshots and recorders....

With more bug fixes and optimizations, it will be best OS in the world! (At least for me)
On the other hand, if Deepin Dev team will make a ecosystem, they will reach the Summit.
Android Rom Deepin + Pc Deepin will be perfecto!!!

Started with Linux Mandrake in May 1999
After experimenting & using many Linux O.S. systems & versions, this deepin O.S. system has really gotten my attention.
HP 15-r030wm 4-Gb ram
Lenovo x131e 8-Gb ram
One of the best ever O.S. for multiple reasons.
Thank you. {^_^} 5***** ionizerusa

running on Lenovo T430s w/i5-3320M, CPU @ 2.60GHz X4, memory 6.4GB, SS drive 111.79GB.
I've been sampling distros for 15+ years and this is by far the best! The desktop is crisp, full featured and produces solid performance on my old Thinkpad. You should be proud of your accomplishment here.

Been using Deepin since V15 and its very good, stable and easy to use. It does lags a bit behind when it comes to updating firefox / thunderbird but after trying several linux-distros (my) best choice. Running it on an ASUS netbook (dualcore), a nobrand I5 desktop and a NUC (I3). This been sayed. Deepin DDE is a new fresh look but i noticed that with version 15.6 the "startmenu" is no longer in Deepin-style but looks more like an early cinamon menu. Hope the return to beeing unique in stead of trying to "blen in" the mainstream.

I would have given Deepin a 10, if it ran Chessmaster 10 portable with W.I.N.E....however, I couldn't...although it got it run Hoyle Card Games and Bejeweled 3...moving on, this linux distro is the most stable and fastest I've ever used....super highly recommened as as perfect alternative to Windows.

Certainly the distribution "Deepin" is very beautiful, very fluid and fast.
But the software catalog "Deepin Store" is catastrophic because not at all updated .... for example: Firefox is in version 58 ... bad for the security.
Unable to install the latest stable Kernel.
To install the updated versions of the desired software, you must install everything by hand even through the terminal.
I do not understand this note of 9.1 ....

It shows innovation that is way above others. In-house tools for all kinds of things. This latest version includes the Deepin Graphics Driver manager. The desktop can be configured as you please and has features which others are now mimicking.

La rapidité d'évolution de cette distribution chinoise est impressionnante, elle a gagnée très vite en maturité. Certains se plaignent d'un manque de souplesse pour ce qui est de la personnalisation de l'interface, mais justement il n'y a rien à personnaliser : les paramètres par défaut sont très bien, contrairement à d'autres distrib' qui parfois osent proposer des "choix" minables... juste pour proposer du choix (qui a dit Mint ?). Deepin est la distribution Linux la plus intéressante en ce qui me concerne.

I have been using Deepin 15.5 since it came out, now I installed Deepin 15.6 last night, oh man, its better that ever, everything you desire in a linux distro, good looking, reliable, nice apps-store. Faster than before, more stable, and nice looking. I am and old Linux-convert, have been using linux since 1995, but untill I tried Deepin I know many windows10 users plus other Linux distro users will soon switch and start using Deepin too, Thanks to the Deepin Team for such a nice and complete Linux Distro.

I have been trying different linux distros on and off for years now for something to break me free from windows. So I tried Deepin because I read it was pleasant(eye candy), no the plain and bland other versions of linux. Well, I haven't looked back, I'm still using deepin over windows for the first time ever ! Mainly because of how it looks, it's appealing and it is easy to use.

But this, this is what Linux is all about.
