Deepin or Deepin on Ubuntu

Deepin is based on Debian unstable, which isnt a bad thing, as Debian is always stable and reliable. Deepin is one of the most beautiful distros out there but they also add a lot more functions and with it sometimes odd things doesnt really work correctly for a short while, like i know someone had a problem that the wifi just dropped after after several reboots it just started to work, and when it was deepin 15.4 beta they did some much but graphics for other languages beside from english just crashed, and it took them a few weeks to short it out, but they did. but as stock deepin is a rolling release errors like it might come but they fix it and yo will get the updates and everything just improves. stock deepin has also great functions which the other version of deepin distros does not have yet. like their amazing software center, and also a license copy of crossover, which makes it easy to install many well known windows programs, all other distros asks 40 dollars for it.

Deepin Ubuntu, ubuntu is a very stable and well known distro, currently it only runs on the latest version of ubuntu, which is a nine months release version, but it is super easy to upgrade to the next version of ubuntu in april 2018, which is a 5 year support version. deepin just came to ubuntu so i think this next few months is like a beta where they will fix bugs for the 5 years release, as i say upgrading for ubuntu and deepin will be easy. but for now you will get like a mixture of apps between deepin and ubuntu. also in ubuntu you get like the ppa, deepin source which will give you the latest.  i havent tried the manjora one yet, but similar in my eyes.
In ubuntu there are also a lot of software and tutorials out as it is currently more used than deepin, and many companies makes software only for ubuntu, likes ppas to get the latest version via updates for libreoffice for example. so yes.

My Linux Story

My name is Johan Seyfferdt, and I would like to share with you my linux story.  I am a South African and about 8 years ago I moved to Russia to serve in a local church. A few years ago I got married to a Russian lady and then I realise that I need a part time work to pay the bills.  So I checked around and a friend of mine who is a Sysadmin at a local university asked me if I want to come and take over from him as he is returning to the States and he will teach me.  So I agreed, even though I knew nothing about computers...  When I arrived there I was told that 80% of the computers are running Linux, Ubuntu 12.04 Gnome Classic and servers stock Ubuntu.  A huge shock to me as I only know Windows.  I started to play around with it and slowly moved all my home pcs to Ubuntu and also the church where I am serving and friends.  Today we are using Ubuntu MATE 16.04 for workstations and Ubuntu for servers.  And I truly love the power of Linux.  I also started to listen to podcast, like Jupiter Broadcasting, nowadays the Lunduke Show and the Ubuntu Podcasts and all these are my love for Linux inspired me to make Linux tutorials and distro previews and share it on YouTube,  Martin Wimpress made my day, when he shared one of my videos and then more and also subscribed to my channel, Ubuntu Made Simple, and that encouraged me that I am not messing up and that I am playing my part in the community.  (I am forever grateful)  I would love to win the Apollo notebook and used it to create more data!  Ps.  I have contacts in the UK who comes to Russia often!  Thank you for reading my 20 lines!

Install Samba:
sudo apt install samba

Modify config file:
sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf (gedit or any text editor)

add config for each folder at the bottom (shown in video)
[shareme] (name of folder)
        comment = shareme (name of folder)

ls /run/user/`id -u`/gvfs/­smb-share:* &> /dev/null
sleep 600
done
