Deeper About Deepin OS 15.5 (What’s New in Feb 2018 Update)


There are some new things happening with Deepin OS 15.5. We can get new Deepin tool and new Deepin updates. And now, we’re also going to learn more about Deepin OS and what makes it the best looking Linux distro, even better than my favorite elementary and Pop OS! You know how cool those two are, right?

Also, read about two of my other favorite Linux: elementary and Pop.

Let’s Start With New Deepin Tool


Installing Deepin and using it is very easy even for a no-brainer like me. Thank’s for its striking design and intuitive GUI which aims to provide an elegant, user-friendly and reliable operating system. And that even gets easier by the presence of new deepin repair tool, that we can use for, well… repairing deepin.

Let’s watch Deepin repair Tools in action:

Deepin Repair is a tool to help users quickly fix some issues in deepin, including:

  • boot repairing
  • hard disk detecting
  • disk cleaning
  • DPKG repairing
  • privilege repairing
  • password reset.

Deepin Repair can run on both deepin Live system and the real environment. When you can’t find boot menu, have privilege error or forgot login password, you can’t enter deepin desktop. That’s when you need to go into a Live system at first to run Deepin Repair. Sounds hassle-free, right?

Deepin 15.5 Update

Background of What Deepin Is

The development of Deepin started in 2004 at a fast rate by Wuhan Deepin Technology Co., Ltd, a Chinese company. Debian is used as Deepin base while its previous versions (pre-Deepin OS15.5) based on Ubuntu.

Its desktop environment called DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment) which is based on the Qt 5 toolkit. Its home-grown applications, like Deepin Software Centre, DMusic and DPlayer and now Deepin Repair are tailored to the “average” user.

If you happen to feel familiar with the description above, perhaps because you’ve used it before when it’s called Linux Deepin, Hiweed GNU/Linux. Ring a bell?

Also, read about previous Deepin review.

What’s included in the last update:

  • DTK to version 2.0.6.1–1 fixed the issue that no “Help” entry to view manual;
  • Deepin Boot Maker to version 2.0.4.3–1, fixed the issue that it cannot start in live system;
  • Deepin Repair to version 1.0.1–1, fixed the issue that no icon shows for the directory.

Let’s watch the video below:

It is amazing to see popular Linux sites come out with lists of “best distros” and keep missing on Deepin and Manjaro. It feels like they don’t want the public to know about those. In the case of deepin, as I already read, THIS by far is the best Linux distribution I have ever tried, Extremely user-friendly, beautifully design and countless options when it comes to utilities. My only complaint with it is that the software versions on the app-market always run little behind to pretty much everybody. I had every possible thing I can think of when I installed it, everything native and available on my first run. “CROSSOVER” is a life saver. — deepin user.

Running Android Apps on Linux and Chromebook For A No Brainer!


Running Android Apps on Linux For A No Brainer!

I really mean it. No brainer here means that all of the processes are doable using some clicks or taps on your touchpad. No command line, no long tutorial with trials and errors. How comfortable is that? I’m now running Android apps on Linux and Chromebook myself.

I said no long tutorials, not no long story… so this is my story… 😀

Note: I’m running Deepin on MacBook Pro Mid 2010 and Chromebook Acer c720p.

I was installing Diablo 2 using Crossover, everything was fine (except the jumpscare when the installation finished) until it asked me for a CD key. Aw, come on… this is 2018, who still keep their old game CD keys. I know I don’t. And I also forgot where I got the CD key before, but I do remember that I keep it in my Evernote when I installed Diablo 2 on my Chromebook last night.

Get Deepin here.

Not in a hurry, I decided to install Evernote as well on my Mac. Then I noticed a notification saying, “please update Google Play”.

Wait, Google Play? Is it even available here?

Still wondering, I’m trying my luck with sudo and tab in the Terminal. And yes… there they are. Some Android stuff. Then I did what I should’ve done first, checking the store. In Deepin, it’s called Deepin Store.

If you’re not running Deepin, try to go to its web store.

Also, read: List of Android Games running on Deepin.

You will find some Android Apps, ready to install. Too bad, they’re just a few. But hey, I can play more games on my Mac and Chromebook running Deepin.

Wanna know how? Continue reading here.

What do you think about running Android Apps on Linux/Chromebook or even MacBook Pro? Is it kinda beat the purpose?

Linux Deepin Reviews and Why It Is Better Than Elementary and Pop OS Pt.2


So, in previous Linux Deepin reviews article, I talked about the first experience I had installing it. Now we’ll continue into what makes it better than elementary and Pop. Don’t get me wrong, both are my first two favorite Linux distros. But there will always be on standing taller than the others, right?

Linux Deepin Reviews: Shop

In Elementary, we’re equipped with a software center where the unwritten rule is: If it’s not there, then it won’t work. So, I’ll have to sit and wait what the developers feed me later.

In Pop, we can do some “tweaking” using the command line, but the option is limited. It’s like “do at your own risk” thing.

Also, read about Pop OS here.

In Deepin Store… (inhale) we can find many apps provided by Deepin or y other developers. I haven’t tested them all, but most of them work just fine. The store design is so slick and intuitive. The apps come with screenshots. The icons fit the theme well. No wonder, Deepin has the best icons collection used by many other Linux distro’s users.

And… it has Crossover installed that allows me to run most Windows apps games.

System Setting and Launcher

Needless to say, Deepin has the best system setting called Control Panel. Without trying to copy Mac’s or Window’s looks, it’s presented to us in a way with Android feels. Somehow it reminds me of Phoenix OS.

So does the launcher, there are some options that we can choose to use the launcher according to our likes (Ubuntu, Mac or Windows).

Enough said, let’s watch the video to see how it looks:

So, what do you think after watching Linux Deepin review video? Is it debatable that it’s better than Elementary and Pop?

Linux Deepin ulasan dan mengapa hal itu lebih baik daripada dasar dan Pop OS Pt.2


Jadi, dalam artikel Linux Deepin ulasan sebelumnya, saya berbicara tentang pengalaman pertama aku memasangnya. Sekarang kita akan melanjutkan ke apa yang membuatnya lebih baik daripada dasar dan Pop. Jangan salah, keduanya distro Linux favorit saya dua. Tetapi akan selalu ada di berdiri lebih tinggi daripada yang lain, benar?

Linux Deepin ulasan: Toko

Pada dasarnya, kami dilengkapi dengan pusat perangkat lunak mana aturan tidak tertulis adalah: jika hal tersebut gak ada, maka itu tidak akan berhasil. Jadi, aku harus duduk dan menunggu apa pengembang feed saya kemudian.

Dalam bentuk Pop, kita bisa melakukan beberapa "penyesuaian" menggunakan baris perintah, tetapi pilihan terbatas. Hal ini seperti "melakukannya resiko Anda sendiri" hal.

Juga, membaca tentang Pop OS di sini.

Di toko Deepin… (menghirup) kita dapat menemukan banyak aplikasi yang disediakan oleh Deepin atau y pengembang lain. Aku belum diuji mereka semua, tapi kebanyakan dari mereka bekerja dengan baik. Toko desain ini sangat licin dan intuitif. Aplikasi yang datang dengan screenshot. Ikon sesuai tema baik. Tidak heran, Deepin memiliki koleksi ikon terbaik yang digunakan oleh banyak lain distro Linux yang pengguna.

Dan… itu telah Crossover terinstal yang memungkinkan saya untuk menjalankan Windows kebanyakan permainan apps.

Sistem pengaturan dan Launcher

Tak perlu dikatakan, Deepin memiliki pengaturan sistem terbaik yang disebut Control Panel. Tanpa berusaha untuk menyalin Mac atau jendela terlihat, itu disajikan kepada kita dengan cara dengan Android terasa. Entah bagaimana itu mengingatkan saya pada Phoenix OS.

Jadi tidak peluncur, ada beberapa pilihan yang bisa kita pilih untuk menggunakan peluncur menurut kami suka (Ubuntu, Mac atau Windows).

Cukup berkata, mari kita menonton video untuk melihat bagaimana tampilannya:
