Deepin 2014 Alpha – Be ready to embrace the New Deepin
NOTICE
1、The Alpha release is not stable now, it can only used for test purpose only.
@Deepin Twitter.
2、DO NOT install and test on VMs.
As used Compiz, a compositing window manager to provide 3D animation and Gaussian Blur effects on windows which performance is poor on VMs, It is highly recommended not to install and test Deepin 2014 on VMs. The preferred way of installation and testing is to setup it on physical machine via multiboot mechanism, or to open DeepWin.exe on Windows system. We have scheduled to solve this issue by using our own Window Manger on a planned future release.
