Recommended Usage Scenarios
This image is a feature enhancement and bug-fix update and is recommended for fresh installation in the following cases:
- New devices installing deepin 25 for the first time, to quickly get the latest features and patches;
- Systems already running an earlier deepin 25 version but not updated for a long time, where upgrades would take too long – a fresh installation with the new image provides a one-step update to the latest deepin 25 system.
Note: If your current system is running normally and kept up-to-date (latest version is 25.1.1), you can upgrade directly to 25.2.0 via "Control Center → System Update" or by using the terminal command
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade– no reinstallation is required.
