Minutes ago, I ended an interview with Wuhan Deepin Chief Technology Officer Raphael Zhang and Deepin Hualet Wang development manager, and their responses were full of surprises and welcome. Before publishing the full interview, I wanted to reserve this space for an interesting announcement: the Deepin v20 is entering beta status in mid-December and is expected to be officially released in January 2020.

Deepin is at the same time a Linux desktop distribution and a standalone desktop environment, but the former has caused severe waves recently. Starting with its recent partnership with Huawei, which sees the Chinese device manufacturer ship several MateBook laptops in China with deepin pre-installed.

Deepin's team also shared a series of short but tempting deepin v20 teasers via their YouTube channel. They are produced accurately and demonstrate a lot of polishing being added to the distribution taskbar, startup and login functionality.

I've included all three at the bottom of this article (don't let the language dissuade you; Deepin is also available in English).

Deepin excites me because it sets such a high standard not only with its visual aesthetics, but also with its features. Tools such as Deepin Cloud Sync (which, yes, will leave mainland China, but not before the company carefully studies various international privacy laws), a windowless slider center, and the built-in customization of the startup manager put the item above.

It's not a cup of tea for everyone, but Deepin is the first thing I show people who are unaware of the desktop progress linux has made in recent years – not to mention how beautiful it's turned.

Deepin v20 is expected to be based on Debian 10, and the company plans to spend 2020 building its links with the international open source community, among many other activities.

Keep an eye on the information on this front and more in the next interview.

Hello, I've always been an invetendo eater than is more current, but there's always time to review concepts. I think this happens harder when the beard starts to whiten.

I use Deepin linux a year ago, I came from many years of using Ubuntu. With Ubuntu we learn to devour updates, happen every minute. At Deepin, because it has its base in debian stable, which is more conservative in atalizations, things go slower.

When it comes especially to security we are even more zealous, we hear too much about kernel updates, that Torvalds already works on version 5.3 of Linux, …, and then, I screw or not because i'm using version 4.15 today? (Post date 2019-10-24)

Well, everything around here depends. It depends on whether your hardware is being supported, it depends on whether your distribution (linux version) is supporting the kernel, among other things.

Basically, look at it this way:

1. New hardware with low performance and saw that will have new driver version in the new kernel, worth upgrading. But notice on larger blogs if they haven't released some way for you to cover that hole with some path, or update only the same driver.
2. Old hardware with nifty performance, don't mess at all. Follow up with the updates of the distribution itself and be happy.
3. Old hardware with substandard performance, or unsupported, unrun. Look for the kernel that supported it, evaluate whether it is a supported version, and downgrade. BUT IMPORTANT: DOWNGRADES HAVE RISKS. Your system may stop working, programs/applications/services may stop working. You have to evaluate what you have on hand and the compatibilities.
4. Old kernel, but supported by distribution, ok hardware, is ok and time that is gaining does not move.

I did kernel updates several times, until a few weeks ago the 5.13 version broke me literally. It took me a day to get it all back, but I got it. Thanks to the infinite backups ended all right.

Honestly I was very happy with the updates. Until 5.11 the performance of my note improved basque, even with old hardware and no specific updates for it, something i did not research caused it to heat up less and the graphics improved. Look what I use a Jurassic and Warrior Intel Graphics 3000 in the development note.

Anyway, after this lost day and a delay with work delivery, I returned the version supported by Deepin and here I am, using the note the same way.

After all this written, I came to the conclusion that I could only have written the sentence: Only update if you need truth, or leave quiet rs.

If you've read this far, thanks for reading. If I can help me something, leave your comment or contact me on my Twitter @danielsob

I hope I've been helpful and even more.

Deepin 2020 will come based on Debian Buster. This will bring an update of the main libs that today prevent the system from receiving the latest versions of the apps.

However, it is always important to remember that we can solve this pecs of repositories. In my day to day I decided to update the PPAs I needed most, such as Firefox, Chrome, Thunderbird, VSCode, graphic driver with Oibaf repository, among others and ball forward. The new versions that could not even be updated, for example by the version of libc6 that in Deepin 15.11 is v2.24, older, I installed the programs via snap, flatpak and appimage. The linux world is this, satisfaction to have solutions always.

Today I always have the most current versions than I need, BUT remember, check if the apps require the libc6 above version 2.24. In this case use snap, flatpak and appimage. It is the only restriction that will be resolved with the arrival of Debian 10.

The look of Deepin Linux is considered today one of the most beautiful and functional linux world. I'd say it's the prettier. There are also those who refute saying that there is the possibility of transforming other desktops to look similar to Deepin, such as KDE, Mate, Gnome, etc., but the experience is not the same.

In November, with no date set, there will be the release of the first release and by the end of December will close corrections. January there will be the launch.

However, in my view, the only advantage I want to take from this new version is the new debian buster base. That's great. But of course, I say because I still do not know what awaits me on this new desktop.

If you have been very fond of using Deepin, but have been left with hot head and cpu by over-processing consumption, be aware that follows the tip.

At the time of Ubuntu with Unity, we had Zeitgeist, an indexer of disk content, actions, hishistory, etc. Its function was to speed up access to data, but this had a relevant cost. At Deepin we have a similar tool, it's the deepin-anything-tool, which just like unity has considerable cost for your day to day.

The CPU consumption of this tool is daunting depending on your degree of writing to disk. Many reports on the Internet speak of 90%, 99% or even 100% of consumption for a long time.

I disabled this service and felt no loss of performance. I point out that I use SSD, but honestly I don't believe this indexing service is worth it for the hardware cost it has.

The commands were:

[code] ~$ systemctl stop deepin-anything-tool [/code]

[code] ~$ systemctl disable deepin-anything-tool [/code]

From then on it was just happiness.
