    Hello. I've Installed Deepin 15.6 in my works computer (Intel I5 4th generation without GPU and 8GB RAM). And it worked perfectly, And I fall in love with the beauty of this OS.
    Then I've installed it in my own PC (AMD FX-8350 4 GHz, 8 GB DDR3 1600MHz with Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI 4GB GPU). And After the instalation I realized at first that something was different. The layout was all Dark Grey. Some visual effects wasn't showing. Then I realized that the Window Effects option wasn't enable in configs, so I tried to enable it, but the button just toogles on and off. and it shows a messagem in the middle of the screen: "failed to enable window effects".
    After some research I've found just 2 topics regarding this issue:
    https://bbs.deepin.org/post/151256
    https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-deepin-window-effect-not-working/34550

    But none of them seems to be the same as mine. So I thought that the problem was related to my GPU, then I've updated it to the closed source driver in the Deepin Graphic Driver Manager. After rebooting and finally installed the source driver, and the nvidia-settings. I've downloaded CS:GO just to test, and the game runs perfectly as good as on Windows, but the problem still happens. the same message appears when I try to enagle window Effects.

    I've researched and I found videos about people using deepin on the same AMD CPU as mine. And with this GPU as well. Just didn't find reports using both together. I have no clue what is the problem, if it's the GPU os the CPU or both together. I'll attach prints and I would really appreciate if someone could help me to find the cause for this strange problem. I really loved Deepin os and even most it's beatyful interface. I really don't want to lose this important positive point of this OS. Thanks in advance.

    thank you,  try to edit  ~/.config/deepin/deepin-wm-switcher/config.json

    change allow_switch to true, I think you can switch on when you log in.

    https://bbs.deepin.org/user/127661 I believe deepin comes with gedit by default, thats probably the easiest way if you're new and unfamiliar with tools such as vim and nano.

    Open terminal and type:
    1. gedit ~/.config/deepin/deepin-wm-switcher/config.json
    Copy the Code


    and then save the file. I would recommend making sure you have the same problem before changing it though

    I have an HP Pavilion 15-cw0009la with Ryzen 5 2500u and Radeon Vega 8 mobile and also have this issue.

    I tried editing ~/.config/deepin/deepin-wm-switcher/config.json but didn't work, it kept behaving the same.
    These are my outputs, except for the install of mesa-utils, which installed without any issue at all. I'm using the latest stable Kernel, the pre-compiled files are available here.

    I've tried also on installing missing drivers for amd, like Vega 10, 12, 20 and m, because many linux distros need them when updating the initramfs got them from this page and still no change.
