UbuntuDDE 20.04 Beta
If you haven’t been paying attention to a little GNU+ Linux desktop distribution called Ubuntu DDE, it’s time to take notice. Ubuntu DDE is a Ubuntu base opensource operating system.
Note:
UbuntuDDE is not an official flavor of Ubuntu. UbuntuDDE developers are
not associated with the Ubuntu team. UbuntuDDE is currently a Remix
distribution and is aiming for getting recognized as Ubuntu’s official
flavor in future releases.
Note: UbuntuDDE is a new under development. Don't use as main system. If you want to try it on a spare system.
The
Deepin desktop environment is popular because of it's user interface
takes the best ideas from other operating systems. It has a dock,
launchpad and file browser that are similar to those in macOS. It also
has Android-style notifications and control panels. Last but not least
it includes a Windows-style start button. The Deepin Desktop also has a
slide-out control panel that makes finding settings effortless. It uses a
dock bar instead of a traditional panel at the bottom of the screen.
Deepin DE or DDE for short, is written in Qt.
Deepin-specific
applications are not installed by default on Ubuntu DDE. The developer
of DeepinOS has an impressive inventory of in-house generated
applications. Unfortunately only a fraction of the deepen specific
applications are available within the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS repositories. So
in other words this distro relies on Ubuntu’s software repositories and
not Deepin’s.

I
have said for years that Gnu+Linux is the true grassrootsos. No single
official Gnu+Linux desktop exists. As of 2020, dozens of Linux
distributions are actively developed, with about a dozen distributions
being most popular with regular users. I will definitely be keeping an I
on a newer Linux distro known as gamer OS. GamerOS is an Arch
Linux-based operating system that’s focused on do one thing very well. Running Steam Big Picture mode. There is no desktop environment. Only
Steam Big Picture. Think of it is as better version of Valve's SteamOS.
Conclusion
I'm
not sure when we will see DeepinOS v.20. I can say I'm definitely
looking forward to it when it does. This new Ubuntu DDE remix looks like
it will one day become a great Ubuntu derivative. However I can't see
it ever surpassing the features and immigration that is DeepinOS. You
can download the current beta build of UbuntuDDE 20.04 here
