Some time ago I came up with an idea to move some folders on a Windows computer to another (bigger) drive. From that moment Corel (CorelDraw or Corel PHOTO-PAINT) welcomed me with a message:

There have been packages of a drop-down version of the window manager, Deepin Desktop 20 (known for its Debian-based Deepin Linux distribution). To check how the builder version looks and works on Fedora Linux 32 just use the terminal and the following commands:
Adding reporsitory of Deepin testing Desktop for Fedory:
# sudo dnf copr enable cheeselee/deepin-20-testing
Anad next we install packages:
# sudo dnf install deepin-api deepin-album deepin-calculator deepin-calendar deepin-control-center deepin-daemon deepin-desktop-base deepin-desktop-schemas deepin-dock deepin-draw deepin-editor deepin-file-manager deepin-icon-theme deepin-image-viewer deepin-kwin deepin-launcher deepin-menu deepin-network-utils deepin-picker deepin-polkit-agent deepin-qt-dbus-factory deepin-qt5integration deepin-qt5platform-plugins deepin-reader deepin-screensaver 
Re-login but select Deepin on the login screen (cog down on the right). That's all.
