Falav thx
for the help again
Nice I was able to get it going… multi-tasking view doesn’t work… but windows effects now working.
it isn’t possible to take a bundle of deepin core packages that work and throw them to stable and not update them until another bundle is ready? I mean deepin is not like kde or gnome that need to be constantly updated because other apps depend on their libraries (i think)
We are currently testing new ISOs for Deepin …

Note that Deepin DE’s window manager depends on kwin (Plasma’s window manager).
In any case, this is my last post on Deepin DE as I’ve finally deleted my Archdeepin install after 2+ years. I originally installed Archdeepin to help test it for ant (member from our old forum, also known as antechdesigns), who was the dev of that distro. And I kept my install long after he gave up on it, but now it’s time for me to call it quits. It’s too much bother and is really not a DE fit for fast rolling distros like Arch-based ones.
Even if philm tests and provides a fresh iso with DDE, frankly all it will mean is that the user will have a new install where the starting point works and looks good. Once the user starts the regular rounds of updates though, I am skeptical how long DDE will go without compositing breaking, or something else being buggy. The user intent on using DDE on Arch-based distros will just have to bear with all the issues.
Deepin is a different beast and most likely not working with Arch-based and rolling distro concepts. However we try to reboot our effort as we have now a part-time paid developer looking over the Deepin edition. Also one of our Partners has some interest in getting Deepin properly supported via Manjaro. Let’s see how it goes.

A solution I think would be possible is to replace the dependancies of the deepin packages for renamed packages example: deepin-package-1 depends on package-base-1, as package-base-1 is going to be updated take that package and rename it to something like package-base-1-deepin and not update those packages until another bundle comes, I have to do something similar for getting beignet-aur to work (rename llvm9 to llvm90) and it works perfect till now, that way you could have and outdated version for deepin and an updated version for everyone else, is it factible or is just an illusino? (sorry for bad examples and lexicon english is not my language)
could not just rename kwin to kwin-deepin and not update it till another compatible version arrives?
Amazing 
Thank you Phil
