Free-to-use Linux distribution

Linux Deepin is an operating system developed by Wuhan Deepin Technology. It is a free-to-use Linux distribution that features its own desktop environment. It also can be used for the integration or development of other distributions. As a well-developed and stable system, it has a growing base of users for the alternative desktop environment.

Linux Deepin is an increasingly popular alternative to common operating systems such as Linux Mint or even Windows 10. As its own OS, Deepin also comes with its suite of applications intended to give its users a seamless, convenient experience.

A complete environment

Linux Deepin is based on the Debian GNU, a widely-known Linux distribution known for its stability and commitment to being an open-source system. This ensures that you can use the OS without expecting frequent bugs or crashes. Also, it has its own apps such as the Deepin File Manager, calculator, screen and voice recorder, and its own media player. You can use it for most applications, even without third-party software.

One feature that has brought attention to Deepin among Linux users is the Deepin Installer, which makes installing external apps faster and more intuitive. It simplifies the installation process for users. It also offers a language selector, account settings options and even accepts installation feedback. Other apps in the OS, developed using the in-house Deepin Tool Kit, also sports a simplified interface.

The only problem with this OS gaining acceptance from the international community is its security issues. Analytics are regularly collected from the use of the OS itself, not to mention the use of the apps in it, without sufficient transparency on who has access. Developers of the Linux distribution have been accused of including spyware, which resulted in the removal of its CNZZ statistics app in a previous update.

A good OS, but with risks

Linux Deepin is a promising operating system, especially for Linux users. It is built using a tested distribution family and comes with its own set of programs for the most common applications. It has received praise with its Deepin Installer, a customizable installer that streamlines the process. However, it regularly collects user data without a clear disclosure about its storage and access.
