DeepIn Linux is an interesting Linux distro developed in China. The DeepIn Desktop Environment is Windows like and is currently optimised for Desktop use.
Deepin is a user-friendly Debian based Linux distribution. It is a free and open source operating system mostly used at desktop level. Recently stable version of Deepin 20.3 has been released. Deepin 20.3 comes with stable kernel version 15
There are a few annoyances for an international user because DeepIn is optimised for the Chinese market such as the browser using a Chinese search engine, the DeepIn Store Servers being based in China making it slow to install software and the user reviews are not automatically translated into your language of choice. Also the DeepIn forums are based in China and slow to access making it hard to leave feedback.
Deepin features many high-quality layouts/appearances and great software. If you want a great-looking distribution, read on how to install Deepin.
