I just installed it onto a Lenovo Thinkcentre dual core (older pc) on Samsung ssd. Deepin 25.0 I installed and was intern by the system upgraded to 25.1.0 the other day. I did run into a few things: The clock in the right corner cannot be set to the 24hours setting. No switch is available. And also in the Time and Region settings there is no way to do so. The suggested commandline prompt from Github was not accepted either. So still could not change the clock setting. Second thing I encounter: The HP-cups driver did not install from the Deepin Printer manager. Tried a few times but did not work. I had to install Synaptic first and then from there the hp-cups driver. After that the Printer manager did install my printer. Last thing I encounter: Linyaps do not install,only Debian packages will. The call out when I press Install is always: Installation failed. I must add that I did not yet created a Deepin-ID, so don't know if that has anything to do with the app issues. For the rest very lovable distro indeed,but because of the hickups on my system: a 9 for now. Was this review helpful?

The Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE) is simply breathtaking—every pixel feels meticulously crafted, every animation flows with buttery smoothness that makes other operating systems feel clunky by comparison. From the moment you boot up and see that elegant wallpaper greeting you, you know you're in for something special. The control center slides out like a sophisticated command deck, giving you instant access to system settings without cluttering your workspace or overwhelming you with technical jargon. What truly sets Deepin apart is how it bridges the gap between power and accessibility. My parents, who can barely operate a smartphone, took to Deepin immediately—the file manager is intuitive, the app store is visually organized, and everything just works out of the box. No terminal commands needed for basic tasks, yet when I want to dive deep into customization or development work, the underlying Debian foundation gives me all the power and package availability I could ever need. The Deepin Movie player and Music app are not afterthoughts—they're polished, beautiful applications that rival commercial software. Even the terminal is gorgeous, with transparency effects and theme integration that makes coding sessions feel less like work and more like art. And let's talk about the gesture support—swiping between workspaces with three fingers feels so natural that whenever I use another computer, I find myself trying to Deepin-swipe and getting disappointed when nothing happens. Six years of updates have only refined this gem. The development team clearly listens to their community, consistently improving performance while maintaining that signature aesthetic. I've run Deepin on everything from aging laptops to high-end workstations, and it adapts beautifully—light enough for old hardware, feature-rich enough for modern power users. The auto-mounting of drives, the seamless Bluetooth connectivity, the way it handles multiple monitors without breaking a sweat... these quality-of-life features accumulate into an experience that just respects your time. In a world where operating systems increasingly treat users like data mines or lock them into walled gardens, Deepin stands as a refreshing testament to what Linux can be when design philosophy meets technical excellence. It doesn't just compete with macOS and Windows—it surpasses them in elegance while remaining true to the open-source spirit. Whether you're a curious newcomer or a seasoned penguin veteran, Deepin isn't just another distro—it's a destination. Once you go Deepin, you genuinely wonder why you ever settled for less.

Yes No Version: 25.0.10 Rating: 10 Date: 2026-04-05 Country: Austria Votes: 9 if you are looking for a rock-solid debian based distro, with a very well integrated KI playground, an amazing beautiful desktop and a nearly immutable way the core parts are protected - thats where you should have a look at. Beside of this a have some old and not so common hardware working like an old dat streamer for backup reasing - everything works fine. The community is very friendly and helpful - some things you have to do by yourself - like apparmor, firewall, security optimization ... but not everybody needs its / likes it - so this was fine to install it by myself - for me its a 10 of 10 :-) Was this review helpful?
