    Welcome one, welcome all to the battle of macOS-inspired Linux distributions! Who will be the victor in winning over disgruntled Apple users?

    In this corner, hailing from Wuhan, China and weighing in at 2.8 GB, we have Deepin! Here’s hoping Deepin becomes the other thing Wuhan is famous for.

    In this corner, hailing from the US and weighing in at 1.49 GB, we have elementaryOS! Want to give it a whirl, but can’t find the download button? That’s because it’s pay-what-you-want. Elementary!

    And finally, in this corner, coming from, uh… nowhere in particular and weighing in at 1.74 GB zipped, we have Manjaro Cutefish Edition! Based on the very unfortunately named JingOS, it comes with all the bells and whistles and hopefully none of the national extremism.

    Place your bets, place your bets!

      This comment deserves all the upvotes in the world. As for me I’m betting on Elementary!

        I’m betting on elementaryOS too, they’re doing great work without directly copying everything about macOS.

        I think that’s a good thing because it means it’s probably targeting normal people since the country is moving towards less reliance on things like windows.
