DeepIn Linux is a Linux distribution made by the Wuhan Deepin Technology Company in China. This company appear to be partnering with Huawei in a move to replace Windows as an Operating System on their hardware (similar to Google and Chromebook but this OS is much more functional and has the full capabilities of a Linux distribution). DeepIn Linux 20 Beta is freely available to download from their website and I demonstrate downloading the ISO, making a Bootable USB and performing a Clean Installation on a Dell OptiPlex 7040 and then taking ti for a test drive. I then move to a Latitude 7350 to test its touchscreen capabilities and it works very well when the system is docked. Although this is a Linux distribution it should be very familiar for Windows users due to having a very similar user interface to Windows 7/8.1 and 10.

Full Installation Instructions and a More Detailed Review is in the written guide:

The biggest limitations so far have been, the speed of the App Store as Beta Servers are only based in China and the onscren keyboard definately needs work. With the Latitude 7350 I tested the system in tablet mode. The onscreen keyboard, does not work very well and is more akin to a small character map. The system is very limited when separated from the keyboard. It also does not auto-rotate when in tablet mode and the although it can rotate the screen in Display settings, the touchpoints on the screen does not rotate alongside the screen making it very cumbersome indeed!

Still despite this when left as a touchscreen laptop attached to its base this is a very nice Linux distribution and considering this is still a beta release this part may well be addressed in the rtm release.
