Its in Debian Unstable, so it gets regular updates. For people who like Ubuntu, the closest thing to that in Debian is Siduction, a German Debian Unstable based distro. Debian Stable is like LTS and never gets new features or updates to software unless you use the backports.
Deepin 15.6 is now available: https://www.deepin.org/en/2018/06/15/deepin-15-6-great-improvements-in-the-details/
I installed Deepin 15.6 on an older HP laptop and I am fairly impressed but having a display issue: After boot, the Deepin display is so dim it is hard to read; if I Suspend and Resume, the display comes back to full brightness. Any one else having a similar issue?
