Deepin Linux has received attention and domestic guis are worth advocating

The latest distrowatch weekly commented on deepin Linux, focusing on the characteristics of the deep Linux software center. The blog post that made comments seems to have aroused a lot of discussion.

First, let's talk about this release. There are also some Linux distributions in China, but few deepin are consistent and more formal. In general, I feel that this release is very promising and is an opportunity for Chinese developers to demonstrate on the International Open Source stage, they have also contributed to the upstream communities (at least translated a lot of software ).

The deepin Software Center interface is a typical domestic interface. In fact, this interface has become very popular in China (what is the first in 360 ?). However, this interface surprised many foreigners, because the Linux GUI is really ugly (and difficult to use), and it is really inferior to the interface made in China. Programmers and companies in China are very concerned with interface design. For example, there are many discussions and software related to directui in China. Although there are many foreign companies, there is not much attention to this. The commercial software in China is basically green, skin-changing or something, and is very popular. In fact, if major manufacturers can spend a little effort to develop similar software for Linux, I believe that the domestic Linux release version will be very popular.

The development of Linux is a good thing in China. If you can make the interfaces in Linux intuitive and easy to use, just like the various popular Windows software (QQ, thunder or something ), not only can many domestic users use the free operating system, but it is also a great opportunity for manufacturers. Currently, the popular software is rarely charged, and obtaining the number of users is the key.

However, the disadvantage of Linux development is that we do not have enough research on underlying technologies. Many foreign vendors that promote Linux are transforming Linux at the kernel and system service levels, and some people are studying new display systems to replace X Windows. These are the core of system development. If we only use others' research results, but make some changes in the interface and translation, it will always be the level of individual projects. If a company is working on Linux, it is better to participate in upstream development in the core technology aspect, so as to gradually become bigger and stronger.
