About three months ago, we received a new version of Deepin, Deepin 15.04. This version was packed with new features and changes that many users loved. Today, three months later, the development team has released Deepin 15.04.1.
This version is a maintenance version of the 15.04 branch, the first of the branch, but curiously it brings new things , quite a few new things that make it a very interesting version for those who want to try Deepin and a must-have if we are Deepin users.
The new Deepin 15.04.1 brings with it a mini mode for the application launcher , improved 2D effects, an enhanced preview effect, and optimizations to the distribution's animations and effects. All of these changes are new, meaning they were not present in version 15.04. It also includes bug fixes and addresses known issues, as well as some changes to the distribution's behavior compared to lightweight environments, such as the removal of effects when using the Xfce or LXDE desktops, making the distribution even more powerful and lightweight. Details of the changes in Deepin 15.04.1 can be found at this link.
Deepin is a fairly popular distribution. According to Distrowatch data, it's one of the ten most visited distributions on the site, surpassing established projects like Arch Linux, Gentoo, and Slackware. Deepin focuses heavily on usability, something many appreciate and that others specifically look for in a GNU/Linux distribution.
If you use Deepin, the update manager has likely notified you that a new version is available. If you don't have Deepin, you can download this version from this link and install it using a USB drive or DVD. In any case, it is recommended to use this version rather than a previous one due to the bug fixes and other changes included in Deepin 15.04.1.
