@black3dynamite i'm guessing so, I've not had a chance to test it out.
-
Most Linux assistance tools are VNC somewhere in the chain.
-
I was reading somewhere about the remote assist being built in when I was googling around earlier about remote desktop solutions. I guess a couple years ago they started building it in.
I thought it was actually code from Chrome Remote Desktop that was mentioned rather than VNC.

Weird, I wonder how that all works. Very interesting.

That would mean uninstalling chrome will break it.

Makes sense. And Chrome is the sole default browser, as well. So that explains a bit there.

I didn't see any.

It has a look like Mac OSX
That is what I thought when I opened this thread.

Except WAY nicer.

Look at a Mac desktop...
The similarity kind of ends at the "bar of hotlinks at the bottom". But stylistically the Mac is pathetic. That weird 3D shelf, the bizarre reflections, the cheesy icons, even the default wallpaper are all terrible from a design aesthetic. Sure you can change it all, but functionally and aesthetically the Mac doesn't hold a candle to Deepin.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but that is an old version of OSX.

Current version of macOS Sierra.

That's a bit better. Looks like they've just taken to copying Deepin. Deepin has had that look for many years. But without the top bar, which I find ugly and confusing on Mac as it does things that are not intuitive and is often very far in mouse distance from what you are working on. It has a UI issue that the thing you want isn't logically connected to the thing that you are working on.

Given the fact that the Deepin 15.4 image on Wikipedia has the 3D effect you dislike I think it is more likely that Deepin is copying macOS/OS X rather than the reverse:

Eww, you are right. Maybe this is why I never tried it before. The icons were great, but the effect was fugly.

Cheesy icons?
yeah this are the icons of the century - not!
As for the wallpaper - meh, I kinda like this particular picture, but it's not really any better or worse than anything else anyone uses.
I have never been a fan of almost any GUI I've seen on a desktop Linux distro. Also, I'm pretty disappointed with the default icons in Windows 10 as well. The old Win 7 ones were some of my favorite.
