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!

For you as an artist there also would be Ubuntu Studio. Just saying... 😌

Gonna be very hard to leave Mac OS fully (and man am I trying!) I wish more things I used would have Linux versions. At a very low point with Apple right now.

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.

It's very time consuming to create these ads, multiply that by 20 if you limit yourself to foss video tools πŸ˜….

Good point 😊
