deepin 25 Pre | Treeland: Faster, Smoother

I. Review During the deepin 15 era, DDE utilized Mutter as a compositor-enabled window manager and Metacity as a compositor-disabled window manager. Mutter was designed for high-performance devices, while Metacity was intended for low-performance devices. In the deepin 20 era, DDE switched to KWin as the window manager. Since KWin has a built-in mode to disable the compositor, DDE also abandoned the option of using Metacity as an alternative window manager.   II. Pain Points Based on experience reports collected from the community, the vast majority of users are dissatisfied with screen scaling, and some users are unhappy with the ...Read more

UOS AI 2.0 is released, ushering in the era of native AIOS!

As the most mainstream and high-frequency productivity tool, the PC terminal's operating system carries extensive scenarios, data, and skills for users. With the advent of the generative AI wave, new technological architectures, interaction models, and ecosystems demand that operating systems take on greater responsibilities. This calls for a new generation of operating system products—AIOS—to address the new impacts brought by artificial intelligence and to implement the new concepts and influences of generative AI. On December 10, the 2024 China Operating System Conference, themed “Innovation and Truth-Seeking,” was grandly held in Beijing. At the event, UOS AI 2.0 was officially released, bringing ...Read more

Unveiling the Treeland Technology Behind DDE(deepin Desktop Environment)

Unveiling the Treeland Technology Behind DDE(deepin Desktop Environment)

Recently, the deepin  community made an appearance at COSCon'24, the 9th China Open Source Conference, where senior desktop R&D engineer Zhang Dingyuan presented a technical sharing session titled "Treeland: The Stepping Stone of DDE's Progress." Taking this opportunity, let's discuss how to pursue gorgeous animations and smooth experiences while maintaining a lightweight and efficient system. It's like playing a balancing game, with designers and architects standing at opposite ends of a scale, one side being a visual feast and the other a performance beast. Striking the balance between these two requires our R&D team to cleverly "sacrifice" some hair (brainpower) ...Read more
