Linux Deepin 2013 is the latest edition of Linux Deepin, a distribution that’s based on Ubuntu Desktop but uses the Depth Desktop Environment, a new desktop environment built atop GNOME 3 technologies.

Linux Deepin is one of a handful of desktop distributions that are actually doing something different. It’s one of those desktop distributions to keep on your distro-hopping list.

From a new terminal emulator called Deepin Terminal (see Deepin Terminal features split screens, search and ssh connections), to a gaming platform for Flash games, this distribution’s developers are trying to give desktop users a beautiful and user-friendly experience.
