== Detailed Description ==
[https://www.deepin.org/en/dde/ Deepin Desktop Environment] is the desktop environment released with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepin deepin]. It aims at being elegant and easy to use.
== Benefit to Fedora ==
Deepin Desktop Environment will make Fedora a more interesting for users who prefer another choice of a shining desktop environment.
== Scope == * Proposal owners: DeepinDE packages are already packaged and built in Fedora Rawhide (Fedora 30). * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8003 #8003] ** List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
== How To Test == You can install the Deepin Desktop Environment in Fedora like below.
If you don't have other desktop installed before, ` sudo dnf install xorg-x11-server-Xorg`. Otherwise, just do the following sudo dnf update sudo dnf install deepin-desktop sudo dnf install deepin-calendar deepin-calculator deepin-editor deepin-image-viewer deepin-picker deepin-screenshot deepin-system-monitor
And try your normal tasks on any desktop environment.
== User Experience == Deepin Desktop Environment focuses on being elegant and easy to use.
== Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change)
== Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Not announce the availability of Deepin Desktop in Fedora. * Contingency deadline: Beta Freeze * Blocks release? No. * Blocks product? None.
== Documentation == * [https://github.com/FZUG/deepin-desktop The staging git repo of all spec files]. * [https://www.deepin.org/en/dde/ Deepin Desktop Environment] website. * [[SIGs/DeepinDE|DeepinDE SIG page]]

Those instructions seem redundant. I'd expect 'dnf install deepin-desktop' to be the only thing needed. 'dnf update' is certainly not needed, dnf updates the metadata automatically.
It might be some local issue, but 'dnf install deepin-desktop' on F29 fails for me with "nothing provides libdframeworkdbus.so.1()(64bit) needed by deepin-desktop-4.4.7-9.fc29.x86_64".
And try your normal tasks on any desktop environment.
Is deepin available in the gdm greeter? I think this would the easiest way to try it out for most users.

Maybe include a screenshot here or two to entice users?

I can reproduce this.

Thanks for your help in reviewing so many packages!

If only the deepin-desktop is needed, then the single dnf install will bring in all necessary requirements.

Yes, right now deepin-desktop only works in Fedora Rawhide (f30). It's mainly because the deepin desktop is under active development so we always work on Rawhide first. And since we are coming to more or less usable status, we will possibly build them in Fedora 29 when we are available.
Is deepin available in the gdm greeter? I think this would the easiest way to try it out for most users.
To be honest, I am not a GDM user. I will confirm this.

Sure. Will do it later.

Somehow I forgot to reply to the thread.
Deepin shows in GDM. So this is not a problem.

Added one screenshot in the Change page.
I also generated a unofficial live media for testing purpose, and the link is added in the change page, too.
