I really like Tubleweed, mainly for its performance, but Deepin’s environment is really cool. I wanted to put the Deepin environment on OpenSUSE Tubleweed. I saw some videos of people doing this, but it didn’t work for me. Can anyone teach me how to do this?
Simply install the package pattern:
sudo zypper in -t pattern deepin
I already tried, but it doesn’t work. Installs all of deepin, but the tubleweed appearance continues. Just a bunch of deepin tools appear.
No clue what that means.
Did you change the zypper settings to --no-recommends maybe? This would cause that many important packages for Deepin won’t get installed…
It doesn’t change anything about the desktop. Continue the same start menu, the same taskbar, the same folder and window environment. I just wanted Deepin’s setting, his tools don’t have any differences from tumbleweed’s, but his setting is very good.
Your issue is not reproducible. When choosing Deepin in SDDM i get the full Deepin environment…
What does that mean? Tumbleweed is no desktop environment. Tumbleweed is a distribution where you can install and choose different desktop environments.
this is the old one. It seems like one of those global themes. That’s not what I’m talking about.
I saw a guy switching through yast and it even changed the start menu. That’s how I’m trying.
Than maybe start with explaining what you want and what your issue is. You can also install the upstream branding of Deepin. Simply open YaST Software, search for Deepin and exchange the openSUSE branding against the Deepin upstream branding…if this is what you mean and want.
Or via command line:
sudo zypper in deepin-desktop-schemas-branding-upstream
sudo zypper in deepin-launcher-branding-upstream
I just wanted to be able to move the shutdown, restart and suspend buttons to the left side of the start menu. I got used to having these buttons on the left side with Windows and now using Opensuse I feel uncomfortable having them underneath.
I can’t get used to it and it’s just making me uncomfortable.
It’s ridiculous, but these customs that human beings acquire cause so much trouble for so little.
I’m still not 100% sure what you mean. Would it be maybe possible to link the video of this guy so that we maybe get a better understanding of your question?
In the deepin start menu (completely on the left side) there is already the shutdown button which allows to shut down, switch user, log out and so on. AND there is an additional one on the right side of the taskbar.
vou procurar o vídeo, mas pode ser que leve um pouco de tempo para encontrar. Eu não me lembro como cheguei até esse vídeo.
This one works, look at 6:54.
This one is already 2 years old, what I found is a more recent video from someone else. I’ll see if I can find the other one too
This is it, but I couldn’t understand anything this guy did.
Interesting what folks stress over 
Okay, so then install the Widget named “Application Menu” to the Panel (the default menu Widget is called “Application Launcher”) …
The “Log out”, “Restart”, and “Shutdown” quick icons are all there on the left side … see my screenshot, where I’ve circled them in a blue ellipse
The guy in the second video uses the old external repositories. Deepin is now available in the official openSUSE repos. So his instructions are quite outdated and he is doing some nonsense. He does not even install Deepin fully. It is quite nonsensical what he is doing. Forget about it.
You want the Taskbar in the mid like the guy in the second video? Simply right click on the task bar → Modus → Design-Modus
Please, this is the KDE Plasma menu and not from Deepin…you did understand that this topic is about the Deepin desktop environment?
Deepin already has its own button for it in the menu.

I understand completely! After a few posts the OP finally wrote the following, which seems the intent of installing Deepin GUI … if that is all they want, there is a simpler solution (and they’ve yet to be able to install the Deepin GUI):
That’s why I suggested using the “Application Menu”, because those icons are on the left side of the Start menu
Why not installing Deepin yourself? You would wonder! Really! I have it installed here on one of my boxes. So please don’t try to recommend stuff which is not available in the same way like on KDE Plasma. Plasma is not Deepin.
I wanted to have the look of deepin with the performance of tumbreweed.
I tried the one from this guy in the second video. the screen lock is broken…
Where do you see an issue on your machine? Which mode did you choose whilst initial start of Deepin? “Effect mode” (hardware and ressource intensive) or “Normal mode” (fast experience)?
What exactly did you try from this 30 minutes video? As mentioned, he uses no longer recommeded repositories (package sources) and installs them on a MS Windows machine. So not comparable to the experience from a pure Tumbleweed installation with the Deepin desktop from the official openSUSE repos. What exactly is broken with the screen lock?
