GXDE OS is a brand-new, community-driven Linux distribution designed for users who miss the elegance and simplicity of the classic Deepin Desktop Environment 15 (DDE 15). Rather than chasing the latest UI trends, GXDE OS brings back the beloved DDE 15 experience — but on a modern, stable Debian foundation for better performance, security, and hardware compatibility. GXDE OS is a desktop-oriented Linux distribution that combines Debian with Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE), developed by the deepin project. It is based on Debian's "Testing" branch. It ships with up-to-date Linux kernel, base system and applications, and it includes a "Spark Store", a software application marketplace with support for Android applications. The distribution is available for the aarch64 and x86_64 processor architectures. Key features include:

Classic DDE 15 UI: Relive the golden age of Deepin’s most iconic desktop design. Debian Under the Hood: Enjoy the rock-solid stability and vast software ecosystem of Debian, updated for 2025. Built-in Wine Runner: Seamlessly run popular Windows applications (like Excel) out-of-the-box. One-click Android App Support: Easily install and run Android apps directly on your desktop. Multi-Architecture Ready: Officially supports i386, amd64, arm64, mips64el, loong64, and riscv64 — bringing the classic DDE experience to a wide range of devices, including and RISC-V machines. Spark Store: A curated, user-friendly app store for discovering and installing Linux software with ease. Open Source & Free: 100% free and open-source (FOSS). No ads, no tracking, no paywalls — just pure desktop joy.

Whether you’re a nostalgic Deepin fan, a Debian purist looking for a beautiful UI, or a user seeking an easy way to run Windows/Android apps on Linux, GXDE OS offers a unique and delightful experience.
