Please make deepin a distribution with the Rolling update method so we can use ever the latest version of the operating system without download and install the system every n months.
You must change it from Fixed (such as Ubuntu) to Rolling (such as Manjaro)

No, it has a regression in VirtualBox with Guest Additions installed into deepin 15.4 Distribution Release.
This thread does not refer to any problems anyway...

I mean my PC was rolling update from 15.3 to 15.4 directly. Nothing more related to VBox.

Perhaps it depends on the network situation. U can wait patiently I mean.

Arch based distro + Deepin Desktop Environment is the best choice for you.

Perhap ...

Hi @kingskill,
I mean Rolling update method to upgrade the entire operating system from a major version to the next one (15.4 -> 16.0) and not only to upgrade from a minor version to the next one (15.3 -> 15.4).
Manjaro and openSUSE are distributions that use Rolling update method successfully.
I hope deepin will adopt this update method one day.

Hi, @Blogghete

Those early versions (2013,2014)are consistent with what you said. But, U know, deepin V15 is a long run version.
The deepin team does not seem to change the version number easily.

I've read the planning section and I think that deepin is now a Rolling release.
Great.
The Distrowatch info about deepin are wrong: in the Distrowatch Web site I can read "Fixed" update method but it must be changed to Rolling.
