On every Deepin releases, they always impress me with the good looking of this distro. As a new Linux users, I was thinking that Ubuntu 18.04 is the best looking, the easiest Linux distribution.

I don’t really care about the technical stuffs behind the distros I try. As long as it is stable, nice looking and easy to use, then I choose the distro.

It comes with their in-house built desktop environment called Deepin Desktop. Deepin Desktop is one of the most beautiful desktop environment. Deepin 15.8 is a user-friendly Linux distribution, good for a new Linux users. 

The Desktop

Gnome, KDE Plasma, Pantheon and Cinnamon are beautiful, easy to use desktop environment. Personally, I love them all. But, when I try this new Deepin 15.8, those desktop looks obsolete. The Deepin Desktop is modern, lightweight and beautiful by default.

The dock at the bottom makes the Deepin desktop looks awesome. I am pretty sure that the Mac users will also love this dock. In this new release, the notification area is now integrated in the dock. We can hide or expand the notification area with a little arrow button next to it. 

The Control Center

Experience a new way of managing your system settings. The Deepin Control Center is an easy way to access all the system settings without leaving your Desktop. The new Deepin 15.8 features a new Control Center design which is more organized, and easier to access any settings you want. 

Application Launcher

I love the way I open my applications. The App launcher is modern, so easy to use, and beautiful. It reminds me to the Mac OS X app launcher. We can also choose the full screen or minimalist mode. And to be honest, both are awesome. 

App Launcher in full screen mode

If you don’t like the full screen mode, you can easily switch to the minimalist or traditional mode.

New File Manger

Deepin 15.8 features an updated file manager. You can easily switch to dark mode directly from this File Manager. 

Great Deepin Applications

Deepin Screen Recorder

There are many native applications built by Deepin team. I do love the Deepin screen recorder software. You will have this software by default and I am pretty sure that you will also love it. It is so simple and easy to use. We can choose to record in MP4 or GIF mode. My only complain about this software is that we cannot change it’s quality. Usually, it records video in high quality and will end up with a pretty big file size. 

Deepin Screenshot

Want to take screenshot? The Deepin Screenshot is a special application to take screenshot of your screen. It supports full screen, window or region screenshot. You can also add text, box, blur some areas without leaving this application. Deepin Screenshot is way better than Gnome Screenshot tool.
