Deepin DE on Slackware?

replikvlt · 09-25-2020, 05:15 AM

Hello, I'm really attracted to the Deepin Desktop environment.
How hard it would be to get it up and running on Slackware 14.2 ?
It seems that the compilation in their repository is fairly easy but I'd like to try make an SBo (or use someone else's).
What could you recommend or maybe share any tips. (other than to quit this idea because of deepin being X)

Try to build yourself. Share your experience. Would you encounter problem ask for help. How difficult? Some people here claim building Plasma 5 is trivial task. So ...

I'd start with making sure it can run without systemd, or more accurately if it can be adapted to do so without appalling amounts of labor.

Based on the comments in this bug-report: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/5055 to get it working on Void I would think twice before even trying.
