LinuxBSDos.com posted a preview on the Ubuntu based Linux Deepin desktop distribution



Linux Deepin is a desktop distribution based on Ubuntu Desktop. Its releases tend to come 2 months after the release of the version of Ubuntu they are based on, but Linux Deepin 12.12 is about three months overdue.

I think that’s because it will be shipping with a new desktop environment called Depth desktop environment, which is being developed by the Deepin development team. From what I’ve seen, it looks better than the customized GNOME Shell that shipped with previous versions of Deepin.

The article presents a few screen shots from a test installation of Linux Deepin 12.12 beta, which was released yesterday. Note that because the installation images provided only have full support for installation in Chinese, there are localization issues that are reflected in the screen shots used in this article.
