I’ve really been memorized by deepin, but I feed into the fear of the actual distro and China blah blah. I honestly dont know, but figure better safe than sorry. So I’ve tried Ubuntu DDE and it look like ass… Maybe they’ve update it since. I tried installing it on my fedora 38 workstation and it didn’t play well. Issues with rendering and weird quirks. I think I may need the lightdm display manager idk. Anyway I hear manjaro has community maintained version. Are there any actual distros that run a nice working DDE? I hear this distro called extix has a very nice version, but that distro seems a bit unknown itself. Any advice is appreciated thanks
Personally I didn’t like Deepin and I didn’t really use it for long so I can’t say much about it. Anyway, it is part of the the extra repositories of Arch, so you can expect a current and maintained version.
It should be the same for other Arch based distros. Just stay clear of Manjaro. It should not be used by anyone.
