Published release of the distribution Deepin 25.3, developing its own Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE), as well as about 40 user applications, including the Deepin Music music player, video player Deepin Movie, 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 7.2 GB (amd64, arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64).
Desktop components and applications developed 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.
Among the changes:
- The UOS AI assistant provides the construction of a knowledge base covering all data on the disk, and the ability to answer questions about the contents of files has been added. There is now support for creating reminders and organizing periodic tasks using commands in natural language. A single AI interface has been implemented, unifying work with MCP servers, applying skills and performing tasks in AI agent mode.
Improved content summarization and interaction history management with the AI assistant. Added support for granting permissions to the AI agent in connection with individual requests or modified files. - Added new anti-freeze protection that prevents the taskbar, application menu and System Monitor application from blocking under significant system load to make it possible to quickly forcefully terminate a problematic application.
- The loading of the configurator and standard office applications has been accelerated, the interface of which now remains responsive even under high load.
- The size of the system Logs are limited to 5 GB and log filling is stopped if there is less than 5% free space on the disk.
