Talk about Deepin Linux updates and community insights.
Hello, I’m looking for your genuine thoughts on an operating system I found on a Russian website. I’m considering switching to it across all my notebooks because I want to donate them to my parents. So far, it seems to run very smoothly on my Lenovo ThinkPad T430, but the battery performance is disappointing—only 3 hours compared to the 8 hours I experienced with Debian during regular web browsing and Arduino IDE programming. I suspect a kernel issue might be the problem, though the interface looks very appealing and even optimized for tablets. You can check the official page here: Deepin OS Official Homepage
I've read that it's spyware. LUbuntu / Ubuntu is always a good choice. Deepin is not something I would go for. Here's an interesting link I found about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/..._security/
I've been using it for a while now. It looks really nice and has a pretty design. I plan to switch to another distribution like Manjero soon. It feels too limited compared to Windows, with a very simple settings menu that isn't very user-friendly. All the tools you need can be installed directly from their repositories—Android Studio, Eclipse, PyCharm, etc.—so programming shouldn’t be a problem. When compared to other distros, Deepin stands out the most. Everything comes pre-configured, so users don’t have to adjust anything. The only drawback is that changing the system is tough; you can’t even install your preferred NVIDIA driver, you just use the one provided by the distro’s manager. I usually switch distros every few months and am still trying to find the ideal desktop environment.
I've heard about this before and I modified the kernel directly on the image. Now I'm considering switching to a standard Debian version. ------------------------------------------------- Ubuntu works well for these kinds of projects and has a large community, though it uses more background resources. The only system I've really relied on for programming in C++ and Python was Kali Linux and stock Debian. --------------------------------------------------- Arch + i3-gaps is an excellent option for laptops, consumes minimal power when idle, and provides great battery performance. The challenge here is that I'm quite new to Arch Linux—learning commands would take a long time since I'm used to Debian-based distros: P
I don’t need a step-by-step video walkthrough for setting up a distribution. Why would I choose such a basic setup when my machine can handle a more advanced, polished desktop? Running Arch with i3-gaps feels like getting a high-end graphics card just to play a simple game or install apps that erase memory to make the phone run slower. It’s completely unnecessary and a huge waste of resources.
The installation instructions appear right in front of you when you start the USB setup. It’s designed to be efficient, focusing on what you need without extra features. You get to pick your preferred functionalities, as highlighted on notebooks—ideal since it consumes minimal power when idle. It boosts productivity with shortcuts and easy desktop switching. It takes full screen, which suits notebooks due to their smaller display limits. You can quickly adjust window sizes and manage multiple windows efficiently. Compared to common desktop environments like XFCE or GNOME, it uses very little system resources—around 200 MB RAM max. For those familiar with its use, it delivers a complete desktop experience.
