Looks like a pretty average Gnome theme with very minor changes from the default. What's the point of creating an entire distro flavor?
Would love to see us move back towards linux being linux (a kernel) and less of a need to even 'join' a Distro or pick sides if you will.
You are really picking a package manager and a philosophy on upstream software ... it is unfortunate you're implicitly or inadvertently being forced to pick about 11,000 other things too.
For the most beautiful DE, it's so... meh. It's a shame. Does anyone here remember Beryl? Now that was mindblowing stuff, still can't wrap my head around the fact it's dead...
You'll basically have the same thing.
Be free from GNU+Linux distro fragmentation

You are spot on yet at the same time this is about 99% of Linux.

Those 11k other things are usually the minimum needed to have a production ready system that doesn't require you as a user to jump through hoops to provision and maintain.
I find it baffling that a website who's sole purpose is to present "the most beautiful desktop environment" would present low resolution, reduced color screenshots to back the claim. examples: https://ubuntudde.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ubuntudde-l... https://ubuntudde.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/ubuntudde-f... There are better screenshots behind the "Digital Assets" nav link, but I wouldn't have found that,…
The deepin desktop environment itself was pretty, but janky. The settings thing (on the right side of the screen) is difficult and unintuitive to navigate, and scrolling was still buggy when I used it in December (it will randomly skip sections or just get stuck when you scroll). The other apps felt similarly unpolished, like they'd put all their energy into the look rather than the boring stability side of things. In a few years it might be a nice DE, but it has a long way to go.
I've tried all of the major desktops over the past year in anticipation of 20.04, but I think I'll be moving to KDE once it comes out. It seems to have the most seamless integration of them all, and still allows me to control things. I just hope the performance is good.
