Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The last update was over a year ago it seems. I remember everyone talking about the desktop environment like it was the next big thing. May she rest in peace.

I watched the GitHub and it looks like it's deepin os with a custom settings app and a MacOS style dock.

At that point just install deepin os and hope they don't lie about user privacy (being owned by a Chinese for-profit doesn't help)

Deepin looks gross lol. What I mean is it only looks good with its own apps. KDE apps look horrible on it and GNOME apps don't look great either. I don't know how anyone uses Deepin. I get taste is subjective but it feels half finished.
