One noticeable difference between these two editions is, to activate the Home edition, users need to apply for a free activation code from UnionTech, which is different from its predecessor Personal edition (it will be automatically activated once connected to the Internet).
The Personal edition has been discontinued, and the Home edition is under public test. However, the Home edition has not been updated since 2023, without any official announcement.

The community edition is another name of Deepin.
SKUs (Server)[edit | edit source]
The UOS Server comes from four branches, which is based on Anolis OS, CentOS, Debian & openEuler.
The last letter of the version number determines the Linux distribution it is based on. For example, version 1000c is based on CentOS.
