Deepin Linux presentation video is next level. Shouldn't the other major Linux distros also start to present their products in a more professional way?

Have you used it? Was about to put Kubuntu on something today.
No. Never used it. Had a previous version installed to test it. Beautiful distro with unique features but not my thing. Deepin 25 is still in alpha. I think Kubuntu is a solid choice. If you want KDE desktop you could also have a look at Fedora KDE which I'm using and I'm very happy with it.
Had an Asahi install on Mac which Fedora KDE, I liked it…. But I seem to have slightly bricked that mac with my shenanigans! (In for repair).
I’ll put all 3 on a stick and see where I end up. Cheers!
Flashy ads have never made me care about a Linux distro. Deepin had always been questionable due to its connection to the Chinese government and concerning data collection and privacy policies as well. I think I'll just stick with Debian.
That's why Linux desktop has a market share below 4%. With a more appealing approach this probably could be massively improved which would profit the whole ecosystem.
I think the reasons go far beyond the lack of flashy ads. Linux is great, I've used it on the desktop personally for 20 years. But there is a lot of technical inertia that would have to be overcome, a huge number of applications that aren't available. I'm not sure Linux will ever become the dominant desktop OS, or if that's even necessary. Linux isn't only a desktop, it's in servers, mobile applications, IoT devices, etc. It exists for people who need it, but depending on your use case other options may be better.
