If you want fast updates then playing with the sources.list is necessary. And you cant hurt or damage your deepin installation if you change from slow deepin to faster mirror. You will get upgrades few days later than from official, but who cares, if you want fast download then this is price for sure.
Other things, for my nvidia was installation of the drivers from "driver manager" I believe it's right translation for it, as I have slovenian language enabled. But you say is not working for you, then maybe you can use https://bbs.deepin.org/post/30495 script.
I'm using synaptic for all my installations at least for those wich are not in software store. Install it like this from the terminal:
sudo apt install apt-xapian-index synaptic
Install both packages, first one builds index of all software (quicker searches).

i'm talking about a repository package like a ppa in ubuntu, is there any alternatives for me to use stuff like this in deepin?
Second, I've tried a couple of times installing the NVIDIA drivers either from the Driver Manager or using the .run from the official website, but none of them worked out for me, the official .run left me a blank screen so i need to use tty to remove them, and the Driver Manager's one doesn't left me a blank screen at first, only i can't start steam because it says "OpenGL GLX not supported by display", but the last time i've tried it it gaves me blank screen.
Third, i've tried modifying the sources.list but because it doesn't ended up well for me then i've clean it all up back again, will it effect me anything because of what i've seen around the forum that playing around the sources.list is a kind of not suggested.
ps. sorry for my bad english and for beeing so noobs.
