Deepin V23 RC2 brings exciting new features. One notable addition is the “Backup Update” toggle in the Control Center, allowing users to opt out of system backups during updates. This feature is convenient but should be used judiciously.

The release introduces new system fonts, including WenQuanYi Micro Hei and WenQuanYi dot-matrix Song, enhancing the visual appeal of the interface. Moreover, the update includes improvements to the Nvidia graphics drivers package, promising better performance and stability for gamers and creative professionals. Deepin has also addressed system maintenance by reducing the number of system snapshots.

This prevents the /boot partition from being overwhelmed with unnecessary backups, making the system more efficient. The installation process has become more intuitive, allowing users to select their system language and keyboard layout right at the beginning. This update emphasizes security and performance with enhancements to crucial packages such as glibc and the integration of Python version 3.12.

Additionally, various bugs have been fixed to improve the user experience. These range from UI quirks on the lock screen to problems with the default browser and email applications in Linglong. The update also resolves icon mishaps that frustrated users in the past.

The Deepin community values user feedback, and with this release, contributions, such as bug reports and suggestions for improvement, are particularly valuable. Deepin invites users to get involved and help shape the future of the open-source OS. However, it is essential to remember that the update is for testing purposes and may contain serious bugs.
