Deepin's security problems just cost it another major Linux distro

Fedora has voted to retire all Deepin desktop environment packages after maintainers failed to respond to security review requests. The decision mirrors SUSE's move in May 2025, when it dropped Deepin over similar security concerns and review-bypass issues. Fedora left a window open for Deepin to return, but only after passing a fresh security review. The pattern of two major distros dropping Deepin highlights ongoing concerns about the project's security practices and responsiveness.
