    Really impressed with this distro.  Beautiful.

    Can someone explain if this is truly a Rolling Release?  I know it's based on Debian unstable.  Does that mean it's truly rolling with never a need to install?

    Can someone also share any helpful links for a newbie that explain updates, system upgrades and other useful information?

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the information.

    Do you ever have to reinstall the os?

    Can you perform the sudo apt-update and sudo apt dist-upgrade commands to upgrade the OS to next release?

    Yeah. It was OK, when I used some old versions. But now I don't use Deepin for some reason, so I don't know the details. And maybe you can have a try.

    And you can also upgrade the system in "Control Center"

    Meant to say sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.  Is Deepin a true Rolling Release based on Sid?  Do you ever have to reinstall OS?  Thanks.

    Yes, Deepin is Rolling Release! Your base is being migrated to stable Debian (Stretch).

    Bleeding Edge distributions - such as Ubuntu / Mint, for example - only allow you to change versions after a reinstallation (something that does not happen in Deepin).

    Does the source list need changed in Deepin when new version of debian stable is out?  Or, because it's based on Sid, that's not necessary?
