Deepin Desktop Environment will make Fedora a more interesting for users who prefer another choice of a shining desktop environment.
It's nice to see this big effort finally coming to fruition.
== How To Test == You can install the Deepin Desktop Environment in Fedora like below.
If you don't have other desktop installed before, ` sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xorg`. Otherwise, just do the following sudo dnf update sudo dnf install deepin-desktop sudo dnf install deepin-calendar deepin-calculator deepin-editor deepin-image-viewer deepin-picker deepin-screenshot deepin-system-monitor
Those instructions seem redundant. I'd expect 'dnf install deepin-desktop' to be the only thing needed. 'dnf update' is certainly not needed, dnf updates the metadata automatically.
It might be some local issue, but 'dnf install deepin-desktop' on F29 fails for me with "nothing provides libdframeworkdbus.so.1()(64bit) needed by deepin-desktop-4.4.7-9.fc29.x86_64".
And try your normal tasks on any desktop environment.
Is deepin available in the gdm greeter? I think this would the easiest way to try it out for most users.
== User Experience == Deepin Desktop Environment focuses on being elegant and easy to use.
Maybe include a screenshot here or two to entice users?
