how could i uninstall if i unliked that Deepin DE?!
Then just delete it, plus you don’t need to uninstall it you can always just select GNOME on the login screen.
Good to see it’s still supported, I always liked Deepin DE just for the simple fact that it’s the only DE that actually supports fractional scaling properly without looking like an interpolated blurry mess. I desperately need 150% scaling (100 is too small, 200 is too large for my 1600p display). GNOME should borrow whatever Deepin is doing there.
