Deepin Linux 20.5 default

About Deepin Linux

Deepin is a Chinese desktop distribution whose central asset is the Deepin Desktop Environment, an in-house creation built with Qt that the project polishes to an unusual visual standard, complete with its own control center, dock, and animations. Around the desktop sits a family of first-party applications, from a music player to a screenshot tool, designed to match the house style. The base is Debian stable with APT and deb packaging, though Deepin maintains substantial repositories of its own, and the desktop environment has been packaged by several unrelated distributions, which says something about its appeal. Development is led by a company that also produces UOS, a commercial operating system for the Chinese market, with Deepin as the community edition. Users come for the aesthetics above all. Viewing that famous interface through an OpenFactory browser VM takes less time than reading a review of it.

What happens when you press Try now

The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh Deepin Linux virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.

Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean Deepin Linux 20.5 default.
