This repository is an archived port of the Deepin Wine environment for Ubuntu and Debian Linux systems. It is no longer actively maintained. Wine is a compatibility layer that lets Windows software run on Linux without needing a Windows installation. Deepin is a Chinese Linux distribution that ships its own customized version of Wine, pre-configured to run popular Chinese applications. This project packaged that Deepin Wine setup so Ubuntu and Debian users could also use it. The main purpose of the project was to make certain popular Windows applications available to Linux users on those systems. The list of supported applications included QQ (a Chinese instant messaging app), WeChat (a messaging and social platform), TIM (a lightweight version of QQ for workplaces), Foxmail (an email client), Baidu Netdisk (a cloud storage client), WinRAR, and a download manager called Thunderspeed. These apps were distributed as Deepin-packaged container files that users could download and install separately after setting up the Wine environment. Installation was done through a shell script that could be run either online or after downloading the repository locally. The project notes that Docker-based use required the host networking mode so that the tool could see the real IP addresses of peers. The README, written in Chinese, also includes troubleshooting notes for common issues: WeChat not sending images, system language settings causing display problems, and global keyboard shortcuts not working for apps running under Wine. For the shortcut problem, a workaround using a tool called xdotool is documented in detail. The repository describes itself as a personal research and learning project and advises caution before using it in any production context. It is now archived and no longer receives updates.
