Deepin 25.1 Launch: New Graphical Environment

Published release of the distribution kit Deepin 25.1, developing its own desktop Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE), as well as about 40 user applications, including the music player Deepin Music, Deepin Movie video player, installer and installation center for Deepin Store programs. The project was founded by a group of developers from China, but has transformed into an international project and supports the Russian language. The distribution repository includes more than 8,000 packages. All developments are distributed under the GPLv3 license. Bootable iso images size 6.8 GB (amd64, arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64).

Desktop components and applications under development using C/C++ and Go languages. The graphical interface is built using the Qt library. The key feature of the Deepin desktop is the panel, which supports multiple operating modes. In classic mode, open windows and applications offered for launch are more clearly separated, and the system tray area is displayed. Effective mode is somewhat reminiscent of Unity, mixing indicators of running programs, favorite applications and control applets (volume/brightness settings, connected drives, clock, network status, etc.). The program launch interface provides two modes – viewing favorite applications and navigating through the directory of installed programs.
