It’s been five months since I covered the beta version of Deepin 20, however, after a long wait and a confusing silence, Deepin V20 has given up its beta prestige and is in a position for the general public. This brilliant Linux operating formula also provides new tips welcome. Debian-based cases.
My most read articles here in Forbes fear Deepin, and the explanation of why it’s not a mystery: it’s a surely charming Linux distribution that makes a smart first impression and defines a superior watermark for quality.
He has also fallen victim to some (in my opinion) unwarranted accusations of spyware, but that’s a thing of the past.
What does Deepin have in store for its users in the future?If the promotional breakthrough below is an indication: UX varnish layer, a more unified formula theme, a generous collection of bug fixes, refreshing features and increased hardware support:
I’m not going to sell you Deepin’s visual aesthetic. Whether you’re employing the flagship layout of the desktop environment or enjoying it through “remixes” like Ubuntu DDE, you’ll be immediately attracted to its appearance or not.
I’ll say this: Deepin’s “Mode Mode/Efficient Mode” transfers you to temporarily transfer between a more Windows or macOS experience.
Choose your own (core)
What excites me the most is the smart way Deepin V20 allows its users to access the kernel they need when installing.
This new dual-core installation allows you to select between Kernel 5. 4 (LTS/”Long-Term Support”) or Kernel 5. 7 (“Stable”). Each includes their respective secure graphics modes, and this time Nvidia users can install the proprietary driving force with closed source once Setup detects their GPU.
(Yes, beta testers, the release notes verify that Nvidia’s proprietary drivers now work; one of my most important court cases was the beta period).
In short, this dual-core configuration means that while Deepin’s underlying buckets are in Debian 10. 5, it has particularly newer cores, which means broader compatibility for newer hardware.
Therefore, LTS for foolproof reliability, or opt for the “stable” 5. 7 kernel if you prefer the newest or if you have newer GPUs, CPUs, and devices.
Fingerprint for ‘multiple’ sensors
Similar to the latest edition of Gnome and running superbly on several newer laptops, adding the Trio of ThinkPads powered by Fedora, Deepin V20 should tell you and use your favorite fingerprint to log in, determine your identity, and get root permissions on a device.
More interestingly, the publication notes imply that “a variety of fingerprint readers are edited”. Is it because of the paintings made through Fedora and Lenovo, sending those pilots upstream?I’m willing to bet that many of Huawei’s Matebook sensors are also ed. Unfortunately, express models are not listed.
Full range
To update, download links, or learn all the features and fixes of Deepin 20, see the official release notes.
Among several other smart points, the new edition adds smart tactics to clean up the installed software, which makes control of the application faster and more intuitive. The formula installer has been revamped and is even less difficult and more surprising than in edition 15. 11. There is custom notification control, attractive built-in apps like voice notes, an advanced dark theme, color and temperature settings. . .
And of course, the panel configuration formula absolutely redesigned, which is now more classic to “swipe” to the appearance of the screen. For my part, I’ll miss her.
If it is Deepin 15. 11, you do not want to fully reinstall the update, this is how it is done:
Step 1: Change to /etc/apt/s. list at: deb [by-hash -force] https://community-packages. deepin. com/deepin/ apricot major contrib non-free
Step 2: Add the official App Store font in /etc/apt/sources. list. d/appstore. list If this record does not exist, create it here, then upload this source: deb https: // community-store- packages. deepin. com/appstore eagle appstore
