Deepin is windows?


this is a just saying, I was looking for a distro that looks like MAC OS. found a listings of 5 distros that look like macos. I installed deepin, I'm in it now, and seeing one thing I hate, that is how Windows 10 switches desktops, have to click some button, select the vdesktop, and in this one I have to then hit enter to get it to go there, more steps then just spinning the mouse wheel.

It did not even pick up my Windows 10 install upon completion of install.

then I went to updates use there auto update and updated one file. and I get a reboot prompt, just like in Windows. I've never had to reboot after updating in Linux.

improve on it, while taking away what they should have left, Iphones ios.

I just wish Linux - Distro developers would stop trying to mimic Windows so much and its user functionality so much.
mouse wheel switch desktops the fastest way to switch them outside of hotkey F-key. the crtl+alt+arrow keys I too find cumbersome just to get to the next desktop.

it looks nice and all but has removed too many options in its default desktop, on first looking at it.


now it is time to install e16 on here. because I got that setup for an easy install.

Mod
e16 installed, it works fine so far.

never had to, but some things might not work until you reboot, usually after a kernel upgrade.
i prefer the (honest) prompt to being left in the dark.

Indeed. For example, the Mint update manager doesn't tell you if you need a reboot after e.g. a new kernel is installed.

This isn't me, but at least someone is trying to do something about it:

kernel update and rebooting, does not one that actually runs a server have a means to not reboot per se after a kernel update, but some how makes it go into effect, due to it being used as a server??

For Ubuntu, you can use livepatch:

https://www.ubuntu.com/livepatch

Essentially the running kernel is patched in-situ.

There are other similar technologies such as ksplice:
