I’ve really been memorized by deepin, but I feed into the fear of the actual distro and China blah blah. I honestly dont know, but figure better safe than sorry. So I’ve tried Ubuntu DDE and it look like ass… Maybe they’ve update it since. I tried installing it on my fedora 38 workstation and it didn’t play well. Issues with rendering and weird quirks. I think I may need the lightdm display manager idk. Anyway I hear manjaro has community maintained version. Are there any actual distros that run a nice working DDE? I hear this distro called extix has a very nice version, but that distro seems a bit unknown itself. Any advice is appreciated thanks
Personally I didn’t like Deepin and I didn’t really use it for long so I can’t say much about it. Anyway, it is part of the the extra repositories of Arch, so you can expect a current and maintained version.
It should be the same for other Arch based distros. Just stay clear of Manjaro. It should not be used by anyone.
Try arcolinux. It’s normal arch + packages you select + a pre-customized DE or WM
Solus does ship with deeping, if you are into are consider arch itself or endeavor or manjaro, manjaro does ship with deeping out of the box.
I remember using Manjaro Deepin when I was first getting my toes wet in Linux many years ago. It was smooth and the UI was better than Windows even. Can’t remember why I stopped using it though maybe I got tired of it or the Manjaro/Deepin bugs.
