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!
How's the internet otherwise?
It's actually decent this year. Haven't had an issue, and I was a bit of an a** yesterday and downloaded an iso during @scottalanmiller's long talk.
I won't tell anybody.
Too late!

It may not be you or the hotel internet... I just started the download and it's going a whopping 20 KB/s

The store seems to be pretty outdated, but other than that it's really sleek

Deepin Terminal is super nice!
Tabbed, and has a Remote Management features that lets you add servers for quick access.

@aaronstuder That's actually a nice looking terminal. If only the download were working.

I had to make sure I was downloading from Sourceforge, I had to choose that and not use their default download button or else it was going to take 12 hours.

That's what I did too

I could start a torrent...

Very nice looking terminal!

All of it looks really good, it' a slick overall design.

I've noticed that LibreOffice on Deepin is actually hideously ugly. It is pretty clear that it is an afterthought. They expect you to use the other office suite and LO is just there for required functionality.
-
Easy fix. This package is missing and does not install by default. Install this and all is better.
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gtk -
@scottalanmiller have you tried Deepin on your ROG?

No, I need the RoG to work and Deepin doesn't have a live install to test it first. So I'd be taking a risk that I'd create a tonne of work for myself needing to restore it all on the likely chance that the install would fail. So I've been wary to test it.

Okay. I'm going to carve out a partition and try it on mine (dual boot) and see what happens. I'll let you know how it goes. (today/tomorrow/sometime)

Would be awesome to be able to replace Ubuntu with Deepin!

SF was really slow for me.... I used their Google Drive link. That was the best option for me.

SF worked fine for me. Their download link on their page was useless yesterday.

An absolute horrible experience so far out of the box... Even if im able to make it to the desktop.
I'm hoping updates make things better, not optimistic though. Their repository is insanely slow btw.
