Key new features introduced

DDE

deepin DDE is a desktop environment based on the Linux operating system. It is characterized by beauty, simplicity, and ease of use. It is praised as "the most beautiful Linux desktop" by the majority of users. Deepin desktop adopts a unique design style and aesthetic concept, focusing on user experience and human-computer interaction, so that users can experience a smoother and more natural operating experience during use. At the same time, DDE also has strong customization and scalability, users can freely add and modify desktop components, themes and plug-ins to meet different needs and preferences.

First of all, this deepin V23 Beta version integrates the internal test channel entrance. Compared with manually entering commands to join the internal test, the integrated internal test channel test can cover more friends who are interested in participating in the deepin internal test, and the test efficiency is higher. The quality is also better. Friends are welcome to actively participate and work hard to provide a better deepin experience.

Secondly, in the system account module, we have added 2D, 3D and animal images, and you can customize the default images of the system to make your deepin life more interesting. The settings are as follows:

In short, DDE is a powerful, easy-to-use, and elegant desktop environment, providing users with a more pleasant and efficient work and life experience.

DDE wayland

Wayland is a modern, lightweight, secure display server protocol that provides a better and smoother user experience than traditional X11 display servers. With Wayland, users can enjoy faster, more responsive graphics performance, reduced input lag, and better security features such as sandboxing of applications and better isolation of user data. Wayland is also designed to support multi-touch and gestures, which makes it a better choice for touchscreen devices. In deepin V23 Beta, DDE tentatively supports wayland, allowing users to start the desktop environment under the wayland protocol.

So how to enter wayland in V23? You only need to select X11 or wayland mode when logging in to the user interface, and switch directly to Wayland mode to log in. If the user is already logged in, click the power button, click logout, and switch to wayland mode. The effect is as follows:

This Beta version is an experimental attempt to integrate Wayland, which is to provide users with a more modern and efficient display server protocol, and continuously improve the overall user experience of deepin DDE.

TerminalTerminal

The deepin V23 Beta terminal brings many new features and improvements. First of all, the terminal supports the "Thor Mode" animation display time setting, which provides a better experience! Secondly, you can enter the full-screen mode directly through the shortcut key F11, which greatly improves the efficiency of terminal use. Finally, the user can set the number of historical rollback lines for more efficient terminal operations.

This terminal upgrade brings more practical functions and a more efficient and convenient terminal experience to users of deepin V23. Users can more conveniently perform command line operations and terminal management, improving work efficiency.

upgrade tools

After listening to users' voices, the question that has attracted much attention is: how to smoothly upgrade from V20 to V23, so that data and system configuration can be seamlessly migrated to the new system? To this end, the deepin community team has developed a system upgrade tool.

The deepin v23 beta version introduces a new upgrade tool, which makes cross-version upgrades easier and more convenient. The tool will automatically detect your system version and provide you with the latest upgrade options. You only need to follow the upgrade guide to complete the entire upgrade process. The upgrade tool also supports backup and restore of system settings to ensure that your personal data will not be lost during the upgrade process. In addition, the tool also has the ability to automatically migrate and install the compatible applications you selected before upgrading to ensure that your applications are consistent with before upgrading.

When the deepin V23 Beta version is officially released, based on the V20.8 or V20.9 version, download the "deepin upgrade tool" in the app store and install it, and use the upgrade tool to complete the cross-version upgrade.

In short, the new upgrade tool will make the cross-version upgrade of deepin v23 beta version easier and more convenient, and will also provide users with better protection and support.
