Deepin 23

Hi, guys, I'm excited to be here, and this is my first topic for you guys. The Deepin 23 has released on 15^th Aug 2024, and, to be honest, it's actually the best Debian-like distro for Loongson 3A6000 machines at this moment. And, Let's get started.

All things you need

• 2 U-Disks, unless you can tolerate THE DAMN "SYSTEM DISK" AND THE DISGUSTING "DATA DISK".
• 1 Loongson 3A6000 machine, I bought it from MOREFINE's online store.
• The laptop/desktop to make startup disk .
• HDMI Moniter for displaying.
• ...

Make startup disk

cd ~/Downloads
wget https://mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn/deepin-cd/23/loongarch64/deepin-desktop-community-23-loong64.iso
# Change the "/dev/sdX" to the path your 1 U-Disk is. This operation will clear all data from your U-Disk.
sudo dd if=deepin-desktop-community-23-loong64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=512M conv=fdatasync status=progress  

After copying is completed, you can insert your 2 U-Disks to Loongson 3A6000 Machine and boot it.

Remove THE DISGUSTING "DATA DISK"

After the Installation Guide is started, select Full Disk Installatio[Full Disk(Recommended)] option, and then, specify THE DAMN "SYSTEM DISK" AND THE DISGUSTING "DATA DISK" (This operation will clear all data from your U-Disk.):

^{The idea of THE DISGUSTING "DATA DISK" is simply terrible!}

If it crashes, you may reboot your Loongson machine and select another U-Disk as THE DISGUSTING "DATA DISK", and then, after the installation is completed, keep your 2 U-Disks plugged in, reboot your Loongson machine.

Copy the damn persistent directory:

sudo cp -a /persistent /persistent.cp/

Change /etc/fstab:

And then, reboot your Loongson Machine. Of course, it cannot start startdde . You have to press Ctrl+Alt+Fn3 to login tty , and then, restore the damn persistent directory:

sudo cp -a /persistent.cp/* /

Just reboot you Loongson Machine.

Happy coding

Happy coding with loong .
