How To Test

You can install the Deepin Desktop Environment in Fedora like below.

If you don't have other desktop installed before, sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xorg. Otherwise, just do the following

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install deepin-desktop
sudo dnf install deepin-calendar deepin-calculator deepin-editor deepin-image-viewer deepin-picker deepin-screenshot deepin-system-monitor

And try your normal tasks on any desktop environment.

In the interim, if you prefer to experience without installing, you can try the unofficial LiveCD we built. The are available in the following folder

Please note, for the ISO version of 20190116, we disabled SELinux in the Live ISO to workaround a known bug by the time of generating.

User Experience

Deepin Desktop Environment focuses on being elegant and easy to use.
