[@BearZA_91]

Lekker, it's always good to try different things.

@@BearZA_91 So True ,Im gong to keep it on my T520 and message round with it as a daily driver ,my current daily driver is a T430 with ArcoLinux on it and my other daily driver is my X201 with Void

Idk about deepin, i tried so many distros but i always go back to mint

[@RetosSpace]

@@ramboi9498 True ,we always have our fallback distro or the one we like or the one that just works!!!

Try Linux Lite, in my opinion p the best for old machines

[@RetosSpace]

I have used Linux LIte before on a old Acer TRavelmate and yes it was solid

Deepin is really beautifully designed an all, but I can't get the sour taste of it being developed in China out of my mouth. Is there some kind of in-depth review about it phoning home or not?

[@RetosSpace]

HI, indeed, i am no expert on Linux or code so not sure if it does phone home like Mac or Windows, i will look online or scan the forums to see if anyone has done an in-depth analysis on the code. but yes its a beautiful desktop and i like that the design is uniform across apps, ive since dumped Deepin(had some issues with the app store and some other things, maybe not a Deepin issue but a lack of skills on my side) and installed Cachy OS, my daily driver is ArcoLinux, been on for 3yrs and never had an issue on my Thinkpad T430, i also run Void on my Thinkpad x201
