, the cheesy icons, even the default wallpaper are all terrible from a design aesthetic.
Cheesy icons?
yeah this are the icons of the century - not!
As for the wallpaper - meh, I kinda like this particular picture, but it's not really any better or worse than anything else anyone uses.
I have never been a fan of almost any GUI I've seen on a desktop Linux distro. Also, I'm pretty disappointed with the default icons in Windows 10 as well. The old Win 7 ones were some of my favorite.
Yes, that's what modern design aesthetic looks like. You can like it or not, but this is the current standard for icon design. I know you like Windows "caught in the past" Metro disaster, but no one else does. You don't have to like these, but this is modern and clean.

I just said I like Win7, that's pre Metro disaster.

Windows 7 was aero and I didn't mind it to be fair, I loved windows 7, was quite an Xp fan once they got everything ironed out in sp3 as well.

I'm not hard to impress, but Deepin runs really really smoothly in VirtualBox -- even with the Effects mode enabled. I may have to install Directly on my laptop just to see how good it runs on bare metal.

Browsing around in a my install, seems more like Debian than Linux..

Not sure what you meant there.
-
@bigbear that's a contradiction
-
Okay, it looks more like OpenBSD than Ubuntu, and I thought it was based off the latter.
-
Now that I am googling I see its Debian based, and possibly off of a frozen version? That article is a couple years old though.
Would make more sense for the their DDE to be based off Ubunutu I would think. If Linux is ever going to win for everyday desktops stuff like this needs to come together.

I spent a while tinkering with it over my lunch break. Seems to be pretty good so far.
-
@dafyre its definitely the best looking interface I have ever seen.

I haven't made up my mind about best looking, but it's definitely not the worst. I can barely tell I'm running in a VM most of the time.

Super clean

Installing now

How much RAM is everyone giving this? 2GB seems pretty good, but a bit laggy.

I normally do 3-4GB for desktops.

I'm at 4 on mine.

Overall, very nice

The download doesn't want to work for me from the MangoCon Hotel.... It'll be a good year if this is the only failure here!
