as a continuation and long term follow up with 15.9.1 installed and fully updated nothing much has changed mostly stablity of deepin applications and a additon of a onscreen keyboard for touch functionality and more.
I recommend a mirror near you as the china download is really slow out side of china and this is just the sad fact of life with how china is
security risks of deepin have also been addressed there is no more ‘spying’ then the ubuntu store and basic computer analytics that like in ubuntu are asked about at install and 100% optional. this is just propaganda cause ‘china’ -trump
No idea what the speed is but I found it amusing as when I was first getting into linux there was a lot of stuff located on the ibiblio mirrors and it was hard to find something slower. Good times trying to update at 24-58Kbps and the total update would take from 50 minutes to 14 or more hours and ibiblio was the only working mirror.
i’ve hit a snag with deepin while attempting to create a back up of the os to a usb stick. a interesting thing happened it did not create a iso like specified it just made a complete copy. this is not how the backup ulti in deepin works so i’ve reported it as a bug happened four times now. i’m not smart enough to diagnose the issue , so the backup utli deepin has might be borked atm.
