Is it possible to downgrade certain features to earlier versions?
I'm pretty new to this, so forgive me if this is a silly question.
What I'm looking to restore is: - The 2014 version of Deepin Desktop Environment - Deepin Music 2.x While I do like Deepin 15.4 a lot, I think the desktop environment and the music player are significantly worse than they used to be. I have attempted restoring the old desktop environment in the past, but I didn't get very far due to missing dependencies. As for the music player, I believe I did succeed in installing the old version at one point, but it failed to launch. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
dependencies: that is the major problem with mixing versions of items within the OS. Especially shared dependencies. If you got one thing needing a ver 3 dependency and you want a different item needing the same dependency at ver 1.2 then you have a conflict within your system.
Most people that write their software (dependencies) when the change is made then the old goes away to make room for the new. I think the best you could do is install an older version of Linux all together. I know Slackware keeps a entire copy of their old versions on a sight and mirrors trough out the world. Everything that came with them. You'd have to investigate. |
