Because of different reasons i am back to linux since 2 weeks. I like this distro  very much because of his elegant design and slim structure.
But there is only one thing i am wondering about:
In other distros, f.e. mint and arch linux, i nearly have updates every day, one reason or advantage of a linux distro.
In deepin Linus for my opinion this updates are very rare. Is this usual ??

Yes it is. We called it "deepin planning".

Maintenance is more important than progress. It should consider the stability firstly.
Deepin's upstream, Debian, has rare updates and Deepin team is mainly maintaining their own softwares. It releases periodically as mentioned above.

The security problems are fixed immediately, so there is no problem with the rare updates of deepin.

Arch based distro such as Antergos and manjaro, or other distro such as openSUSE are updated frequently, but they are all not so stable.
