I seen what Windows 11 looks like and it reminds me so much of Deepin and how Mac BigSur does as well, so it got me thinking about Deepin how I do like the look of it but when Deepin OS first came out I was never into the workflow and the dock I never like how everything is on the dock. Now I know you can get the “Windows” like panel on the bottom.
I was a Gnome fan until I switched to Plasma and feel in love with it, but Deepin is now taking my interest so I was wanting to know is Deepin worth looking into.
If you all got screenshots of your Deepin setup to persuaded me I love seeing setups but if not a simple yes will work
I haven’t tried it in a while - but the last time I did, I wouldn’t use it for anything more than just playing around with it. It was not great. Their model just doesn’t jive with rolling releases - it barely works with snapshot releasees.
Yes, as I’ve diatribed before, I don’t want to be running 2 year old software…it feels so…retro…
Also, I’m just not quite sure I want to live in China (if you know what I mean)…course I could freely say I’m not sure I want to live in the US either.
If you’re go seriously consider giving it a go - and I rarely suggest anything Ubuntu - Ubuntu DDE will most likely be your best/most stable experience with Deepin.
@TheLamerLinux , if it is just for “aesthetics”, then, there is no DE you can t tailor to your liking one way or the other. And since you are on Plasma, this is how mine looks.
Yeah that’s what I love about Plasma, I love Gnome workflow and Plasma customization so I had the best of both worlds. Installed Plasma and made it look like how I customize Gnome and getting the keyboard shortcuts work the same
Indeed, far better strategy would be to customizing rest of your life something like AwesomeWM on your own, even if you make it look just like default Plasma - it will be more stable / hassle-free long-term…
@keybreak You definitely have a point, though I would probably go with Sway, because of Wayland, and I with programs I’ve picked up, I can make it look a whole lot like Plasma. There’s a thread devoted to a developer working with Garuda (but not limited to Garuda, of course) over there on his projects, I really do like them (nwg*).
