Deepin v20.1 - Beautiful distro, absolute rubbish.

Deepin 15.11 was a really nice and beautiful distro. Unfortunately Deepin 20.1 looks ugly. The rounded windows and task bar with the shaded transparency really isn't transparent like Deepin 15.11, instead in Deepin 20.1 it is like green fogged-glass. It is not at all transparent, looks horrible. Although the settings can be changed in control panel its nothing pretty like in 15.11 so you're forced to used the solid colour of which is neither nor grey.

In Deepin 20.1 The App store doesnt, work, hangs, software/apps wont install


Ugly rounded App menu


The two shades of grey in the file listing is ugly



Theme looks horrible



App store hangs


Apps dont install




Won't allow to shutdown the system







Downloads fail, even retrying doesnt work







Downloads slow


Had to uninstall Deepin as even after updating their mirror, same problem. Everything just fails to install. Cant run a new system without installing apps.

Deepin 15.11

Deepin 15.11 was beautiful


Deepin 15.11 Gnome menu was beautiful



Deepin 20.1 Gnome menu lookss terrible with that purple background


Deepin 20.1 desktop theme looks disgusting



its better to turn the transparency off. And the design of the cinnamon start menu mimicking something off Windows 10 does not look nice.



The app menu of 15.11 was beautiful.





..but then, might as well use Zorin OS if you turn off transparency in 20.1 otherwise it looks like Zorin OS



A common occurance in 20.1 and have to force shutdown




Conclusion
I came back to Deepin, only to find the lastest version horrible and ugly. I came back to enjoy the beauty which was in 15.11 only to find the latest version 20.1 horrendouly ugly. Of course you can change things but who wants to tinker around with the system. Deepin 20.1 is a waste by some designer who has no taste.

bye, bye Deepin.
