In deepin 20.6, we have developed and integrated a great number of practical features from the functional level based on the community users' feedback, synchronized with the upstream kernel version, fixed underlying vulnerabilities, upgraded the stable kernel to V5.15.34 and further improved system compatibility and security. Welcome to try it! App Store supports filtering and classifying the search results with Linux native applications, Windows applications, and Android applications distinguished directly so that you can quickly find your desired application and save time in searching and retrieving. The newly added settings and management in clearing the browser data automatically and the default encrypted cookies feature enhance your browser data security greatly. The new logical volume management feature effectively improves the scalability of the system and the convenience of disk management. You may allocate the root partition size manually as needed during full-disk installation.
We are proud to deliver the /e/OS v1.0. Enjoy all the new features and improvements it embeds. We embedded some new features! You are now able to limit your data exposure once you have installed third party apps on your devices. It allows you to manage in app trackers, IP address and location. App Lounge, the new application installer! Our new application installer lets you search and download all the applications you want directly from the smartphone. It connects you to millions of Android apps but not only. It also includes Progressive Web Apps and even open-source applications, all in one place. Safetynet test pass (/stable devices only): it allows more applications to run properly on /e/OS. You are now able to see your account details in a widget (including your aliases!) A new user interface for Mail, Message and Camera. The file synchronization now offers real time synchronization, from device to server. Improvement in BlissLauncher colors, and also a removable weather widget. Translations were improved thanks to the work of our community.
It's a well known fact that we target Windows users. Out of the box, Windows offers a fairly complete system. That includes tools for the hearing and sight impaired. In this release you can zoom in on the desktop, have a screen reader talk to you and complete tasks with an onscreen keyboard. We've made all of these functions highly configurable. The onscreen keyboard application is Onboard. On-screen virtual keyboard is an alternative input method that can replace a real hardware keyboard. Virtual keyboard may be a necessity in various cases. For example, your hardware keyboard is just broken; you do not have enough keyboards for extra machines; your hardware does not have an available port left to connect a keyboard; you experience difficulty in typing on a real keyboard; or you are building a touchscreen-based web kiosk. Orca is a free and open-source, flexible, extensible screen reader from the Gnome project for individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
A highlight of the release is Nix 2.8, which brings experimental flakes support for the default installed Nix version, along with tonnes of fixes, features and general improvements, like @pennae's work to improve performance. The other notable change is the new graphical installer, which @vlinkz led the integration of with @davidak doing a lot of additional work. This feature, enabled by default in the graphical ISOs, will hopefully make initial setup easier for new users and existing users setting up new NixOS machines. Of course, these are just two things I want to highlight here. Not to mention the countless improvements, bug fixes and new features that have also gone into this release. I would like to thank every single contributor who has contributed to this release.

It's remaining a lot of work to be done, but it seems to me that my project is moving in the right direction since I have resolved a lot of issues. Please consider that this version is a "BETA" version and may not be used as main system on a production computer as I released it just to show that my project is not a vaporware, so be patient, I will release a more polished version soon.
