China's Deepin Linux has built-in AI, snazzy desktop
"Hands On Uniontech's Deepin 25.0.10 release shows that the Chinese desktop world isn't waiting on Western tech. It's modern and good-looking, and (pausing only to sigh deeply) has built-in "AI". Deepin 25.0.10 is the latest point release of Uniontech's free community desktop, following the debut of Deepin 25 in June 2025. The original release of Deepin 25 followed about 10 months after we looked at Deepin 23 in August 2024, but the distro does not look and feel radically different from the previous version."
"Deepin has a new Wayland compositor called Treeland in development, which uses the Qt toolkit as used in KDE and LXQt - but for now, this is merely a tech preview: the current release still uses X11. The desktop layout resembles Windows 11, with the main app launchers centered, leaving the leftmost position for a launcher for Uniontech's LLM bot, "UOS AI"."
Deepin 25.0.10 is a point release of Uniontech's free community desktop that refines Deepin 25 without major visual changes. The release continues to use the Deepin Desktop Environment (noted as DDE 7) with a reorganized Settings app and a revamped file manager. A new Wayland compositor called Treeland is in development using Qt, but the current release remains on X11 as a tech preview. The desktop adopts a Windows 11–style centered launcher and includes a leftmost shortcut to the integrated LLM assistant UOS AI. UOS AI offers translation, summarization, explanations and local file search, though immediate transformational impact is uncertain.
