A test version of the distribution is available , based on the codebase of the upcoming release . The distribution comes with the DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment), which is the main shell of the Deepin distribution, and is also offered optionally in Manjaro. Unlike Deepin Linux, UbuntuDDE replaces the Deepin application store with the Ubuntu Software Center (Snap Store, based on Gnome Software Center). The project is currently an unofficial edition of Ubuntu, but the developers are in talks with Canonical about including UbuntuDDE in the official distributions of Ubuntu. The size 2.6 GB.
It should be noted that the components of the Deepin desktop are developed using C/C++ (Qt5) and Go. A key feature is the taskbar, which supports multiple operating modes. In classic mode, there is a clearer separation between open windows and suggested applications to launch, displaying the system tray area. The efficient mode somewhat resembles Unity, mixing indicators of running programs, favorite applications, and controls (volume/brightness settings, connected storage devices, clock, network status, etc.). The application launcher interface is displayed full-screen and provides two modes—viewing favorite applications and navigating through the catalog of installed programs.
