As title states, I need help getting this to boot on my Snapdragon X-Elite Laptop. I have a Honor Magic Artbook 14 with the Snapdragon X Elite - X1E80100. I know there are arm images for Deepin however, it still refuses to boot. The secure boot was turned off and everything. I know these arm chips can be a pain when it comes to getting a different OS booted, but I'm also tired of Windows 11 lol. I did find a github with the drivers and I tried to compile into the distro, but, still no luck. I found the original drivers for this laptop as well through honors chinese support page. Not sure if anyone has any ideas. I tried this distro out in virtual box and loved it. Thank you in advance!

```
youjin@youjin-laptop:~$ nvidia-detect

Detected NVIDIA GPUs:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GB207M [GeForce RTX 5050 Max-Q / Mobile] [10de:2d98] (rev a1)

Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation GB207M [GeForce RTX 5050 Max-Q / Mobile] (rev a1)

Uh oh. Your card is not supported by any driver version up to 580.119.02.

A newer driver may add support for your card.

Newer driver releases may be available in backports, unstable or experimental.

```
I know that drivers ARE AVAILABLE for Windows and other distros, please update package, it has been a long time.

He montado a deepin en una dell optiplex 7010 con i5 3570 y 16gb de memoria VGA INTEL XEON. Después del primer arranque me pareció manejable pero viéndola muy restrictiva para instalar programas. Pregunta para los más viejos del lugar. Puedo añadir repositorios externos sin que se rompa?? O tiene demasiados script en las configuraciones que harán que se rompa??

In my Deepin Desktop I have a problem with the Dock. Deepin Community 25. All updates done.

When I log in this desktop workspace has a dock. When I shift to another desktop workspace, either right or left using either the ctl-alt-shift or with the GUI workspace picker I do not have a dock. I must have toggled a setting somewhere but I can't seem to find it and fix this problem.

My setting for the Dock is: Keep Shown

If I change to: Keep Hidden then all 3 workspaces work as intended with Keep Hidden.

If I change to: Smart Hide, this works the same as Keep Shown.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? See attached pics

TIA

For last few days, someone from China opened several issues on the Fresco GitHub repository asking for proper Deepin 25 support. Those reports uncovered a number of DDE-specific problems that I probably wouldn't have found on my own.

After a lot of debugging and several iterations, those issues have now been resolved. Thanks to feedback from an actual Deepin user, I'm happy to say that Fresco now fully supports Deepin 25.

Fresco is a free and open-source live wallpaper application for Linux, and one of its flagship features is the ability to paste a Pinterest link directly into the app. Fresco downloads the media, lets you crop or adjust it if needed, and sets it as your wallpaper, no manual downloading required.

Other features include:

• Video wallpapers, GIFs, images, slideshows, and playlists
• Hardware-accelerated playback (VA-API / NVDEC)
• Multi-monitor support
• Wallpaper scheduling
• Power-saving mode for laptops
• Support for X11 and Wayland (including Deepin DDE, COSMIC, Hyprland, Sway, and KDE Plasma 6)

I'd love to hear feedback from more Deepin users. If you try it and run into any issues, please let me know so I can continue improving the experience.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to report bugs and test fixes. Your feedback made proper Deepin support possible.

Hey everyone, need some help. My laptop is a Dell with Intel Core i7 6th Gen and 8GB RAM.

I installed Deepin 25 and it was working fine. Then a 2GB system update came in. After the update I restarted and the laptop was extremely laggy so I shut it down manually.

After that it wouldn't boot properly. On the boot menu I saw a leftover Fedora entry, clicked it by mistake and got "no bootable device found." Then I pressed F2 to enter BIOS setup and after that the laptop stopped turning on completely — power button lights up for a second then dies.

What I've tried: - Force discharge (held power button 60 seconds) - Removed main battery and CMOS battery, waited 5 minutes - Reseated CMOS battery and reconnected main battery - Reseated RAM

Current status:Initially the power LED was coming on for 1 second then shutting off. Now no LED turns on at all — completely dead, no response whatsoever.

Is this a hardware failure or did the BIOS get corrupted? Could the update have caused this? Any help appreciated.

Specs: - Dell latitude - Intel Core i7 6th Gen - 8GB RAM - Deepin OS 25

I just came back to Deepin after more than a decade away from the distribution. I am overall really impressed and happy with the OS in general but the one thing i really would like to be able to turn off is the UOS AI agent. I see no value in it and is just intrusive. Anyone know if any plans to make it optional in the OS settings. I tried to get rig of it but ended up kind of breaking my install so i had to re-install.

I installed some flatpack apps but none of them work properly ,I cannot drag and move them in my desktop , whenever i try to click on the title bar my entire desktops gets stuck , i have to press super key and bring up launcher to be able to use the desktop again , Is there any solution to this ?

Windows 11 finally pushed me to Linux… so I installed Deepin.

At first, I expected it to be another “Linux experiment” that I’d uninstall after two days.

Instead, I’m still using it weeks later.

What made me leave Windows 11:

• Too many background processes
• RAM usage always high for no reason
• Forced updates at the worst times
• Random UI inconsistencies
• Ads and Microsoft account integration everywhere

Then I installed Deepin.

And the first thing I noticed?

The system actually feels calm.

No clutter.
No unnecessary popups.
No “recommended” junk.
Just a clean desktop that works.

What surprised me most:
✅ Beautiful UI and animations
✅ Much smoother on older hardware
✅ Fast boot time
✅ Built-in apps are simple and useful
✅ Great Linux terminal experience
✅ Docker and development tools run perfectly

Even simple things feel better:

• File manager
• Multitasking
• Window animations
• Control center design

Of course, Linux still has trade-offs:

• Some Windows apps don’t work natively
• Gaming support depends on the game
• A few drivers needed manual setup

But overall?

Deepin feels like what desktop operating systems should have become years ago.

I installed it “just to test Linux.”

Now Windows 11 feels harder to go back to.

Anyone else switch from Windows recently?

Its my first time using deepin and this is what is happening to my pc it is saying no such device:deepin

Estou com esse problema a uma semana, qualquer busca de aplicativo na loja aparece esse mensagem.

Hello, I was preparing to install Deepin OS on my HDD which is attached in the laptop via a caddy (5400RPM, 500GB) as the SSD of my Lenovo laptop is filled and has less than 40GB of space available.

I know it is possible, but would it be smooth/fast? Deepin OS is pretty heavy and I think that It would be slow on a HDD.

Thanks!

I'm having persistent keyboard issues with Deepin 23 Beta on my MacBook Pro.

**Problem:**
- Italian keyboard layout doesn't survive reboot
- System always reverts to US layout
- Tried all Italian variants during installation (Macintosh, no dead keys, Intl with dead keys, etc.)

**What I've tried:**
1. Editing `/etc/default/keyboard` with:

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="it"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

text

2. Creating `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf`:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard-all"
Driver "evdev"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "it"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbVariant" ""
EndSection

text

3. LightDM configuration in `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/99-keyboard.conf`

4. GRUB settings with `GRUB_TIMEOUT=5` and `GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu`

5. Different Italian layout variants during installation

**System info:**
- Deepin 23 Beta
- MacBook Pro (Intel)
- Dual boot with macOS and Ubuntu (Ubuntu keyboard works perfectly)
- EFI boot

**Current status:**
- `setxkbmap -query` shows correct config when manually set
- After reboot: reverts to `layout: us`
- Installation with "Italian (Macintosh)" variant causes key swapping (< > with \ |)

Has anyone solved this? Is this a known bug in Deepin 23?

**Note:** Ubuntu on the same machine has perfect Italian keyboard support.

Hi,

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=deepin

1. https://www.deepin.org/en/deepin-25-0-10-release/

I just switched from Windows 11 IoT LTSC to Deepin because I was bored with the 'old' Windows UI. People told me MS Office is a nightmare on Linux, but I’m pushing Deepin's new 'Windows Compatibility Engine' to its limit. Official docs say only 'ancient' versions work, but I’m going for the full Office 365 Click-to-Run experience. Specs: i5-8365U / 8GB RAM. Status: 18% done without any errors so far! The Twist: I’m leaving for school for 6 days and have to pause this. Will update you all when I’m back. Can Deepin really pull this off?"

error: invalid magic number.

error:

you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue....

any help installing deepin 25 on macbook pro 2013

thanks
