Deepin Desktop Environment - - - [short desc.] -
-
- I worked for Deepin as an intern for almost a year starting from February 2019. My work there - includes implementing optical disc authoring for the file manager and reworking the computer - pseudo-folder. I also worked on the networking section of the settings application for some - time, as well as a few other system components (DTK being one of them). Chances are if you - have ever used DDE v20 (the redesign released in 2020), my code has passed through the - pipelines of your processor. -

I have mixed views on Deepin the company. You may find out more in my blog posts.
