Deepin is spyware. Not to be trusted. Not a friend to FOSS.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I assume OP is Chinese. The localization and app support in Deepin is great for Chinese-made apps (QQ and WeChat for example).
I love how people say crap about Chinese software without even using it once... Windows IS a fucking spyware + bloatware n I bet you use it... Same way I bet you've played games that use Denuvo...

Nice article! Are you the author? If so, I'd like to give you a suggestion: the part about the deepin Linux story and technical background is interesting enough to be its own article. That way, it would be more findable on web searchers and probably help a lot of people who look for information on it, which is a bit scarce in english.
