Deepin

Deepin is the Chinese Linux distribution lineage discussed in 那个不穿西装的程序员，扯出了国产操作系统二十年秘史. The episode traces it from Hiweed Linux and Chinese localization work into Wuhan Deepin Technology, then into the later split between a continuing community distribution and Tongxin UOS as the commercial government-enterprise product.

Source Position

• Deepin is framed as a community and technical project before it became part of a more commercial and institutional operating-system story.
• The episode says Deepin’s DDE desktop matured after early financing and certification milestones.
• A possible GTK+ versus QT route disagreement is mentioned as an unconfirmed explanation for early personnel divergence.
• Deepin becomes the source’s main example of Open Source Community Commercialization.
