Pros:
-- Surprisingly nice and slick desktop environment. You can configure it into quite a few different layouts without it looking mangled or awkward, and the defaults are quite sensible if you can get past how unusual they are.
-- The Deepin apps. They aren't the best, but you can tell some effort was made to make "desktop environment-default" apps that you wouldn't want to immediately replace.
-- Good QT/GTK integration.
-- It's a workable Linux system, I guess?
Cons:
-- Security concerns, and not just of the paranoid/nationalistic variety.
-- The Deepin DE's performance is just terrible. Computing at half your monitor's refresh rate all the time is just not fun.
-- Desktop #23485343874540 that won't vsync properly with NVIDIA drivers.

I really LOVE the look & feel of Deepin & it runs on my budget $200 laptop 2Ghz+4gigs ram.
It has a great look similar to a Mac. HOWEVER, I HAD to give it a 7 because the right half of my screen has a blue tint over it (EXACTLY just the right half, right down the middle) from time to time. It is extremely annoying and I end up using XFCE because I have never had any problems with that.
I really like Deepin & would like to use it more but this is definitely a Deepin issue turning right half of my screen blue. I'm a 20yr linux user of many distros and never had this problem on any other desktop.
Please fix this :) Thanks & great desktop.

It's been two years I have Deepin, I never had any issue with this distribution. All upgrades are troubleless. The navigation is fluid. I recommend for both novice and experienced.

The program is very easy to use; the learncurve isn't like MS win. Not at all.
I am using Deepin now for two months. Earlier I used:
Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Elementary'
I choose it because it is also a so called " Rolling release". I use MS win !0, only for updating my navigation-system. (This is not possible with Linux). Otherwise it should gan, according my opnion a 10!

A Linux Distribution that other main Distros should learn from. This is how the Linux world should be built, this is a modern and even futuristic distribution that is doing modern desktop the way it should be on linux.
Pros:
- Beautiful , modern, well integrated and gracefully crafted Linux Desktop Enviroment, and distribution.
- Well thought-out design and functions, great automatic maintenance of itself and optimization.
- Real "install and forget" operating system, extremely user friendly and everything works as expected, or even better.
- Constant evolution of the Distro is being made, huge work from developers to make it more and more modern and stable/optimized/beautiful.
- Many apps and automatic graphical tools to help people fix common problems that might happen.
- THE PERFECT APP STORE - Deepin Store is the most complete and well designed app store in the linux world, enough said.
Cons:
- Translations... This distro seems to be mainly made for the Chinese market, so i guess it is primarily made in chineses and only then translated to English. For the most part, everything seems good, but there are some places of the desktop and menus that are weirdly translated, with really bad grammar sometimes. Lets not even talk about other languages... I use it in Portuguese, and half of the menus are still in English. This can only get better with time, and it have got better and better lately.
- Sometimes some animations are choppy. Once again, they have been fixing stuff little by little, constantly, which is great.
- Small Bugs/Glitches. Although being an extremely stable distro overall, sometimes there are some graphical glitches or weird small bugs that appear out of nowhere, and then suddenly disappear again.
Again, everything its getting fixed with each release, and new things are constantly being added or getting better. One of the fastest developing distros out there. 10/10

Deepin offers an elegant and efficient user interface with great options to customize screen layout and workflow. Deepin has support for optimized graphics drivers right out of the box, especially for nVidia cards. Deepin starts with a great set of apps and offers a fast, attractive and well-curated software store. New, powerful and modern graphics apps like Gravit and Painstorm can be installed right from the store with a single click, as can the latest video and audio software. Deepin's software store weeds out the old, broken and abandoned apps from decades agao that clog up the software stoires of some other distros. Uninstalling apps you don't want is also a fast and simple process.
I was able to set up Deepin exactly the way I wanted (with all the software I wanted) faster and with better results than I could with elementaryOS or Linux Mint. I got the exact destop layout I've been wanting for a long time with a couple of right-clicks on the panel/dock.
Deepin is a rolling release (Debian unstable) so I won't have to reinstall my OS anytime soon to get the latest features. Deepin provides a system and disk imaging app so I'll never have to rebuild my system from scratch.
Best of all, Deepin has the fastest pace of devlopment I have ever seen on a linux distro, with feature updates arriving almost monthly.

I've been using for roughly 10 years, with Ubuntu (Gnome, KDE, LXDE), Mint (Cinnamon), but Deepin is definitely a step forward for Linux distros. Fast, elegant, well designed, extremely user friendly ! Out of the shocking none-advanced user friendly features, there is the "app store" that contains so many software (including private), or the graphical drivers (including a bumblebee option) installing themselves on an overlay fs before getting commit in case it would not work. Congrats!

I've been online with Linux for almost 20 years. Deepin is undoubtedly a big step forward and the best I've ever had on the machine. Fast, clear, comfortable and also elegant. It looks like it's made of one piece. Very helpful are also the own developments and the special software selection. Thanks to the dedicated developers.

Absolutely the best Debian-based distro out there, and my new daily driver. The original applications and desktop environment are fantastically well-done in terms of design and function, stability is much better than Elementary, and the App Store is useful for anything that doesn't necessarily need to go through apt. Deepin provides timely updates, it seems, based on their history of releases.
Yes, it's from China. The Red Scare is over and China is a well-developed industrialized society that you're able to trust, seeing as how I live there. It's not spyware, it's not a backdoor to any foreign government, it's just a well-put together Linux distro to beat the rest.
Stability, design, function, and reliability all get a 10 from me. Good job Deepin!

I've been a Linux user for 12 years and this is by far the best distro I have ever used. My fall back distro is always an xcfe Linux Lite but Deepin has them all covered. It has moder looks, and the user has the ability to set things up the way they want things. I just works well and looks good. I've been with Deepin now for a couple of years - all good. Chinese spyware? If they want to read my weekly sermon, they are welcome to it.

I think there is no better Linux operating system than "deepin" at this time. It's thoughtfully laid out and I appreciate the way you can increase and decrease the dock and the control center to allow for the various ways to search apps and configure your system. The "deepin" manual is one of the better learning manuals I've seen out of the box and in your menu.
I for my purposes like the Synaptic Package Manager for my package installations as I have an easier time finding the particular packages I may want installed. The App Store of most systems that try going this way seems cumbersome and not real effective except for the very beginner to Linux.
I just can not find much of anything that I do not like about "deepin".

Deepin is by far one of Linux's best distro, especially from the Debian range. I can say that version 15.9 is better than Manjaro, of Ubuntu not to mention, I was the one who tested all the distro on this site. In my opinion, Deepin should be in first place instead of Manjaro, then Mint and then Manjaro and the rest. 15.9 reflects the perfection and sweat of the team that worked on this project. Congratulations Deepin team!
Romanian language :
Deepin este de departe una din Linux distro cele mai bune, in special din gama Debian. Pot spune ca versiunea 15.9 este mai buna si decat Manjaro, de Ubuntu nu mai vorbim, eu fiind unul care a probat toate distro din acest site. In opinia mea Deepin ar trebui sa fie pe primul loc in locul lui Manjaro , apoi Mint si apoiManjaro si restul. 15.9 reflecta perfectiunea si sudoarea echipei care a lucrat la acest proiect. Felicitari Deepin team !

Stable, productive, and nice looking since 15.4 . I like that the Deepin team improves native applications rather than neutering them by removing features like another desktop development team I know of. Any spyware concerns I had were addressed on the Deepin forums some time ago.

It has the most productive desktop environnement.
The design is very well thought.
I love all it's utilities and principally the file manager.
I use it at home and at work after eliminating definitely Windows.
Its really I great work, so 1000 thanks to all the Deepin team.
My only problem is the Cannon LBP 6000B driver wich not work on it, I know that it's not your problem because of the non disponibility of it's driver. So I will bay a new printer wich can work on deepin !

Always on top. Deepin literally crushes other castings in terms of design, elementaryOS included. The support of a solid Chinese company is a guarantee of continuity for the distribution. The instabilities of previous versions, which at home froze the screen, seem to have disappeared with this version.

It's a beautiful distro, works well right off and have not seen an issue in my limited use. The only thing I do not like about it and the reason I'll move on is the use of outdated browsers like Chrome or Firefox and more troubling is having to request for updates of these and more with a DEEPIN ACCOUNT?
More beautiful than others but not secure as others and unlike a free but more like Tracking of Windows and Windows Store....

Alright distro, but BLOATED. Runs very slow on my older win 7 pc (even windows 7 runs faster). Constant lag and poor ux on old computers. However if you have a faster pc it'll probably run a lot better than on mine. There was spyware in 15.3/4 but this has been changed which is nice. A cool distro, but very heavy, chinese based so translations in English are quite off, has a EULA which is weird, looks very nice for a linux distro all in all. I'd use it as a daily driver if there were more ways to customize the DE and it ran as fast as even KDE lol.

Its really beautifully designed with lots of customization capability. It has proobably one of the best system centers I have ever seen in a Linux distribution. The custom app store is very nice and straight forward and has most of the software selections the average user would ever need. It's extremely stable from what I have been able to assess so far with very good resource utilization. Conky doesnt work to well though and Chrome, when running Youtube videos is extremely slow and choppy. Firefox does a much better job though so I would run that instead as Chrome is installed by default. Apt-Get works well as it is Debian based but the software center performs ok for the most part. It slows down somewhat when downloading apps so for me Apt-Get works much better. Overall an exceptionally beautiful and simplistic design make it a no brainer for a reliable workstation or home pc. For best performance I would run it on a Core i3 with at least 4GB RAM and an 256 GB SSD. I installed a 1TB Western Digital SATA drive on my Dell Latitude E6510 Laptop and it works flawlessly.

Didn't care for it. The settings are not setup right as in the scale was set to 2x so when I tried to set a default program file manager appeared and the problem is that the control panel itself was covering the part I wanted to click on so if I was a newb I wouldn't have realized that you had to cancel that and then open the scale area which I finally found and set that to 1x and then ctl alt backspace and relogin for it to take effect then set the default program. I hate the gnome icon setup then noticed the tiny icon thing in the top right to turn it into a regular menu but that though better was kind of lame also. It's been a week so I might not remember right but I believe I had to install a widget to just see open programs on the panel which should be a thing already preset when installing to make this a beginners distro. It's pretty but takes some work to make it really functional and some basic stuff could be done to make it this way as default. As for the menu it should be more like a whisker menu and less like it is. I thought more thought and effort to make it pretty was pushed into that than ease of use or functionality. You have to make it easier for beginners and not just seem to be easier. If you're try for an OS that can be used on a phone then start a new one since phone OS's are not great for PC's unless you have a touch screen and put more functions so intermediates can easily do basic stuff and not find your custom deepin way of doing stuff like making the settings panel so it can be moved or resized and desktop icons can be added with total ease and resized with ease also like a right click which is the default options mouse button and should remain that way. Like I've said before just because you can do it differently doesn't mean you should do it differently or at all. Lastly have a windows user non linux user install and try your distro and see where they flub or can't find stuff and then make it so it's more intuitive like the settings panel you have to find the icon on the dock.

++ performance very good on my decade old pentium with 4gb ram and ssd (better than gnome)
++ beautiful and practical desktop environment, installation very noob friendly
+ no major stability issues
--- software!! firefox is 3 versions behind, playonlinux installation is broken, crossover (once deepins poster boy) straight up doesnt work and is outdated. devs dont seem to care despite tons of reports in the app store
- updates have been unusually bug ridden lately but nothing major
this could easily be one of the best distros for home use if it had a more polished app store

Everything is running well ... but i hate it that you can't edit or change the starter !
So it seems impossible to install an other menu to deepin ,and i don't like that.
I use to have "favorite" aplications in the menu , so you don't have to search for them to start ,but deepin has his own way and you have to do it their way.
It's debian based so it's working well , but i think i'll go for an other debian distro wich will let me choose or edit the menu.

Deepin with it's own desktop environment is the tops. I especially like the control over appearance that I have.
I would however like if it had more options over appearance. Sure I can modify mine, but this is supposed to be a user friendly environment and most beginners making the switch from Windows to Linux can not handle the mod's. The one thing I'm fond of is the ability to change the taskbar and changing the way I view. my apps.
Click here it's a large icon base system, click here it's reduce to a category system, click here and it's a more usual type of category and icon selection. I don't think anyone can find a better operating system except only by preference. Don't take my word for it, try it, you will be pleased.

I come from a Linux background that includes extended use of both Slackware and Gentoo, but additionally I am a long-time macOS user (since 1986). So I was cautiously optimistic when I decided to try deepin. It seemed to promise a good Linux base, with an attractive, simple, and well thought out desktop environment, much like the macOS.
So far, I am very pleasantly surprised. The deepin folks have done an exceptional job at designing the DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment). I haven't run into any crashes or stability issues yet. I am able to navigate with ease via either touchpad, mouse, or keyboard. I was able to download and install the current version of my preferred browser (Vivaldi) without a problem (the version in the deepin repos is older). Removing packages I didn't want was easy, as well.
I will continue using deepin for the foreseeable future. I think it would make a great distro for Linux newbies, as well as veterans looking for a DE that just seems to do everything right, straight out-of-the-box.

I miss my distro hopping days. Well, I do test other distros now and then, but this damn deepin DE has destroyed every other DE for me, they just dont look and feel the same, this is too beautiful. Cant stand the standard Linux beige/brown colours on most of the distros, dark themes even less. Closest match is Manjaro/Antergos deepin, but there were too much other things I had to tinker with (since they're arch)
deepin distro is stable on my machines (one 8 year old laptop and on my high end desktop computer)
Only downside is that the software in the app store are often outdated (love their own branded apps though) but that I solve by downloading their .deb file from the developers directly (apps like Vivaldi browser, timeshift and firejail for example) Nowadays (after version 15.8) deepin doesnt seem to downgrade them to the version in their app store with every update anymore, which I found very, very annoying (even though it was pretty easy to run the .deb file to restore to the latest version again)
It is basic debian but if you are looking for the most polished and beautiful DE, deepin is it. It stands out of all other DE's imho.

Deepin is a beautiful and glitzy distro. It would be a pleasure to use if i could get a version that didn't freeze up unpredictably. The freeze-up issue appears to be a widespread problem. Once I started experiencing it, I went on the net and found that others were having the same problem. Most of the time there was no reliable solution for the remedies suggested. I have a pretty powerful system with a Ryzen chip, 16g of ram and an SSD. I have never experienced the same problems with Ubuntu or any other distros I have tried on my system.
Deepin has a great interface and has nice fit and finish. Sadly, underneath the hood the motor will conk out when you least expect it. I would definitely NOT recommend this distribution for mainline work. It is like having a beautiful girlfriend/boyfriend with a bipolar personality. You just never know when it is going to crash.
I gave it a 6 based on how nice it looks and the very fine approach they have taken to managing programs and settings. Deepin has a great future ahead if they can find a solution to it's lack of stability. If you have a machine that you can use to play around with, it would be OK to load it up and try it out. But don't try to use it for serious work, it is just not there yet.

Problematic setup of Deepin 15.8 on AMD hardware.
Initially trouble with AMD video driver. Deepin does not run very well without proprietary video driver. After installation it was necessary to select the generic mode (under Advanced boot selection). Then, after installation of all available updates, a normal boot into Deepin was tried.
After still some performance and video problems Deepin 15.8 runs fine now with AMD GPU and AMD graphic driver now automatically installed correctly.
The Deepin design is awesome.
The installation of Deepin is for the rest simple enough and the user interface is very intuitive.
There are many applications in the Deepin store and each application is well described.

Nice looking.
Fairly simple to use.
Has many useful apps already installed.
Easy to configure for 4k Monitor.
Almost became my main OS.
Was coming from Gnome 3 , KDE , and Cinnamon to this (main reason ease of 4k configuring).
The one single main reason I can't use this is because all of my documents are in .ods (LibreOffice/OpenOffice).
So I can't open and work on a single document from my server.
Deepin's included office software can't open them.
Neither LibreOffice nor OpenOffice work properly on Deepin.
As soon as I try to open something in the above mentioned , it crashes.
So it's back to Cinnamon for now.
It's a shame , as I really wanted to be able to use this OS.

very beautiful UI
simple to use, very easy to be adapted for users come from other lands (windows, mac)
it has a lot of software in the app store which is the best one I've used, they are adapting flatpak as well. they even included some useful android applications in the app store, so you can use them just like desktop applications.
the graphical card manager is fantastic, it's easy, stable to use, and it could fall back to the previous one easily if the switch is failed. no other distro has done so well.
I do recommend this distro for daily use, and for guys who wanna try linux.

Version 15.7 was fantastic but not so fast. Sorry to say that 15.8 is not stable at all.
The video part, for AMD adapters, is crashing immediately after the reboot, where 15.7 was running smoothly. Even if you do a fresh 15.8 install Deepin will crash.
Now running Peppermint, which is very stable and much faster.
Also the latest versions and updates of Manjaro XFCE and MXlinux are running fine on that same hardware.

installed yesterday after 4 failed attempts had to install with fail safe and no disk encryption. i found it sluggish like Ubuntu. the deepin store worked for some things was not able to install Firefox from store hand to use the APT command. i found the dock worked very well compared to elementary Linux. the intel graphic driver won't work either. it does look nice.

After the update to 15.8 and reboot the Deepin 15.8 system is now very unstable. It looks like a problem with the AMD video adapter. The screen and dock are flickering and the Deepin system cannot be used anymore, while version 15.7 was stable without any problems.
Manjaro en Windows 10, on the same system hardware, are running smoothly.

I cannot install Deepin on my AMD Ryzen 2400G PC. I have tried everything, but it does not work. I have also used the Deepin team's installation video, but no chance.

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.

An excellent Linux desktop for Personal Computing with almost all the applications you will need for every day use.For special usage you have the Deepin store which contains a lot of nice applications for installation depending on your requirements and Usage.
Pros:
Hassle Free installation.
Excellent looking Desktop with simple interface with easily accessible applications.
Cons:
A little slow compared with some other Linux Distributions .

Looks very nice and modern, in my opinion user friendly, but on my older laptop does not run so fast as it could.
I think it is very good choice for desktop PC with better hardware,
and for linux newbies , and people who want distro which is ready to use.
Deepin store is extremely slow right now, actualy it was imposible to dowload any software
... they have to fix it :)

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.

Nice UI, and thats the only thing good about it...
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.
