Deepin (stylized as deepin; formerly known as Linux Deepin and Hiweed Linux[5]) is a popular Chinese Linux distribution based on Debian. Their focus is on being a user-friendly desktop Linux distribution.[6] As of 2017[update], it is the most popular Chinese Linux distribution according to DistroWatch.[7]
Contents
History[edit]
The distribution was started in 2004 as Hiweed Linux.[6] It was originally a Chinese-based community-driven Linux distribution.[8]
In 2011, Deepin was incorporated as Wuhan Deepin Technology to better support its development.[8] It received investment that same year.[6] Since 2014, a portion of the company's revenue has been derived from software contracts with the Chinese government.[8]
Deepin joined the Linux Foundation in 2015.[9]
Packages[edit]
Deepin inherits all packages from its Debian base and provides its own repository with popular software such as Vivaldi.[10]
Deepin is a strategic partner of CodeWeavers.[11] A version of CodeWeavers CrossOver is bundled with Deepin.[12]
The desktop environment used in Deepin is a custom developed one called the Deepin Desktop Environment. It is open source, thus some other Linux distributions such as Arch Linux have since included it in their package repositories,[13] and Manjaro Linux has a community-supported version that comes with Deepin.[14]
Releases[edit]
The release cycle has followed various schedules but currently aims for four releases per year.[15] Releases are delayed if the work of development and testing has not been completed.
