@scottalanmiller Still enjoying the experience? it's great to see that the developers are constantly working on adding new features.
It looks good and works smoothly at least on my SsD
My machine is older and it is slick there, too. Although does bog down from time to time.
Is running fine on a Toshiba satellite and i3 with 4GB of RAM and SSD.

Unique interface (they make their own), and nearly everything is their own apps. So the whole experience is pretty unique.

Interesting. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

Do they have a live boot?

And the download takes days, as it comes from China and they are swamped with the new release out.

The Chinese government might not appreciate that.

No, there is a Google Drive download of the ISO so it is pretty fast in 10-15 mins tops.

Where is there a link to that? From their site, the download link is 2-3 days

My 15.5 install was an update to my 15.1 so I didn't have to download the ISO for that one.

Interesting.
Also there are few US based Mirrors
https://www.deepin.org/en/mirrors/releases/There are instructions to setup your own mirror as below:
How to provide a mirror:
Synchronization command Space needed
rsync -av –delete-after rsync.deepin.com::deepin/ /var/www/deepin/275GB
rsync -av –delete-after rsync.deepin.com::releases/ /var/www/deepin-cd/50GB
※Note:
You can move the /var/www/ path in the above addresses to the server root directory;
Please add a cron job running every day, so as to keep deepin mirror you provided in the newest available state over a long period of time ;
We suggest you synchronize deepin package repository first, and then synchronize deepin ISO repository;
Please do not save other files in the directories related to deepin mirrors (such as unofficial packages) to avoid misunderstanding;
If you have any suggestions and comments, please give us feedback to [email protected]. -

Linux blamed for shitty developer work from hardware manufacturers

Not the worst reasoning for doing it, but my word they screwed the pooch in communicating this one. They spent years denying that they did it at all.
