However, since Deepin Linux offers a dual-kernel feature, Linux kernel 5.10 LTS is kept as the default kernel in this release, so if you want to install the distro with Linux kernel 5.15, which is also an LTS (Long-Term Support) branch, you’ll have to go to the Advanced Options in the boot menu. This makes Deepin one of the very first GNU/Linux distributions (at the moment of writing) to offer the Linux 5.15 kernel in their installation image. The Deepin Linux community announced today the release of Deepin Linux 20.3 as one of the very first GNU/Linux distributions powered by the latest and greatest Linux 5.`15 LTS kernel series.ĭeepin Linux 20.3 is here almost two months after Deepin Linux 20.2.4 and it upgrades the stable kernel to Linux 5.15, bringing users features like a brand-new and fully functional NTFS file system implementation, support for 12th Gen Intel processors, in-kernel SMB server, realtime preemption locking, and many other goodies.
