Deepin v25 is an absolutely beautiful distro, elegant design, perfect padding, smooth icons, balanced zoom, and everything just works right out of the box. I switched from Windows and instantly loved it.

However, I noticed some issues with the App Store and Browser. The App Store loaded fine, but installations like VS Code and Firefox kept getting stuck with endless spinners. After an App Store update, it restarted automatically, but pending downloads still failed or froze.

Later, a browser update notification appeared. Once updated, the browser started crashing on launch. The only extension installed was Bitwarden, so I’m not sure if that caused it. For a while, no browsers could be installed from the App Store, but after some time, downloads resumed, and I managed to install Firefox, Brave, and VS Code successfully.

Everything works now, though the App Store remains very slow, downloading at KB/s speed. I’m sharing this in case others face similar issues, it might be related to the App Store servers.

Overall, Deepin v25 is outstanding, and I truly appreciate the effort by Deepin Technology Ltd. It’s the most polished Linux experience I’ve had so far.
