I must admit, the past few months of fine-tuning my rig before it's fully ready have been quite busy with several adjustments along the way. Initially, I thought I was only planning a standard PC build for Windows, but I've since realized I'm not so sure anymore after becoming frustrated with recent changes from Microsoft. Now, I'm leaning toward using Linux instead, specifically Manjaro Deepin, Deepin Linux, or maybe Arch Linux—though I haven't made a final decision yet. I was wondering if anyone here is aware of whether Crossover is already available on Manjaro Deepin with a completely free license. Usually, I'd reach out to a Linux forum for such questions, but I think someone here might already have the answer since there are users who rely on Linux. Personally, I'm still getting the hang of things as a beginner, but I've picked up quite a bit during this process. If you have any more questions or need further info, feel free to reach out—I'll make sure to respond!
Manjaro Deepin seems unlikely to come preinstalled with Crossover. It mainly depends on WINE support. Playonlinux and Lutris offer solid free options. Security issues are noted for Deepin—check its Wikipedia entry. Would you like a suggestion? KDE, Cinnamon, OpenSUSE, GeckoLinux, Fedora or Mageia? @Kjennings92
According to Wikipedia, the Deepin distro is real. I don’t think the security issues I’ve heard about are worth the risk. I’m using Fedora with Cinnamon, and I’m also testing Mageia with Cinnamon—it’s really appealing.
The Chinese firm that managed Deepin Linux has a partnership with the organization behind Corsover, making it included as a free install on the Deepin Linux distribution. "Deepin is a key collaborator of CodeWeavers." A version of CodeWeavers' CrossOver comes preloaded with Deepin. [13] Note: On Manjaro, a license fee applies—no free option.
No, it is not inherently riskier than Red Star OS; both depend on your specific needs and usage.
