China’s Deepin Linux gets a slick desktop – and, yes, built-in AI
Shows Chinese Startup moving in tandem with other big tech Browsers
Uniontech’s Deepin 25.0.10 release shows that the Chinese desktop world isn’t waiting on Western tech. It’s modern and good-looking, and has built-in “AI”.
Deepin 25.0.10 is the latest point release of Uniontech’s free community desktop, following the debut of Deepin 25 in June 2025.
The original release of Deepin 25 followed about 10 months after we looked at Deepin 23 in August 2024, but the distro does not look and feel radically different from the previous version. It has the same Deepin Desktop Environment as before: the Deepin 25 announcement mentions it being DDE 7, but we couldn’t immediately see much difference from before: the Settings program has been reorganized and the file manager revamped, but it’s not radical.
Deepin has a new Wayland compositor called Treeland in development, which uses the Qt toolkit as used in KDE and LXQt – but for now, this is merely a tech preview: the current release still uses X11.
The desktop layout resembles Windows 11, with the main app launchers centered, leaving the leftmost position for a launcher for Uniontech’s LLM bot, “UOS AI”. We opened it, agreed that we were over 18 and that we understood that the English-language experience might not be perfect, and after a few moments, we were left with a box to type in our query.
