What do you like best about Deepin?

1. Deepin uses the Deepin Environment (DE), which is elegant and beautiful, very user-friendly and intuitive. You can choose between having a start up menu like Windows or a dock like MacOS. There is a dark theme and light theme available, and the level of transperancy can be changed. I love the animation and the style of the different icon sets.

2. Deepin uses its own set of apps which are getting better and better. The Deepin app store is the best one of any Linux distro. The Deepin package manager works prefectly with .deb files. The video player plays pretty much anything, it's quite fast and light, you can just drag the subtitles (.srt file) and bring them in. I also love the design of Deepin terminal.

3. Deepin comes with WPS office. If you haven't tried it - please, do! It's the most modern looking office in Linux and it's constantly improving.

4. All updates are one click away. Old Deepin versions had a problem with the download speed from the Chinese servers but it's all in the past now. Downloads are swift, and we're lucky Deepin is a rolling OS.

5. Chrome is preinstalled. Spotify, Skype, VLC Player, qBittorrent, Popcorn times and other great stuff is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepin?

There is a limited number of resolutions available and it is kind of hard to change it to one that's not in the list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Deepin:

Give it a try. You won't regret it :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Deepin solving and how is that benefiting you?

When a new version of Deepin is available, it typically takes a few weeks for most of the bugs to get solved by the developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Deepin?

It's a well designed and easy to use Linux once you understand it. It is pretty stable. It may not be easy to configure as a desktop but as a system it definitely is. It is based off of Debian. I believe it was formerly based off Ubuntu and provides many of the same benefits, also allowing you to install much of the same products and packages that were made for Ubuntu and Debian. All in all, a really good and eye pleasing system! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Deepin?

The update speed is super slow and also especially when it comes to software downloading and installing apps. You basically have to go and manually set the correct download mirror. Since it's made in China, you'll notice certain instructional sentencing glitches as well. If you can get over the impatience of having to wait for its load times, you should be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Deepin:

Deepin has had some hiccups, and when I was using it, was super slow. I've heard that the new releases are quite updated and have improved in speed. I would look for the recently released Deepin 15.8 and 15.9 versions of the DDE 3.0 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Deepin solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had been using Deepin as a DDE across all of our in branch personal computers and network servers. The desktop environments were relatively simple and not complex. A lot better than using windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Deepin?

I like the Deepin Environment, it's simple and very attractive designable. Deepin OS is simply speaking, just beautiful. It has clear desktop with launcher. Enough configuration to handle standard use cases without an intimidating array of extra choices. This is one of my go-to recommendation for new Linux users because it's friendly and supported like Ubuntu while using a good, distinctive but also traditional DE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not very much stable like ubuntu operating system. if we installed high memory application or software then sometimes it will not save data. It has sometimes graphic card issues with my dell laptops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
