This is the all new Zorin OS 16.3. The newest iteration of the feature packed, fan favorite Linux distro is out with a bang.
I’ve always been very interested in ZorinOS because Zorin is the ultimate desktop Linux. It looks gorgeous, it’s packed with stunning features, and it’s one of the most usable operating systems we have. I wouldn’t be wrong in calling Zorin the de facto personal computing operating system.
And in this video, we’ll be having a look at the new improvements and additions that make Zorin 16.3 shine, from the game-changing Zorin OS Upgrader to the impressive enhancements in Zorin Connect.
I’ve been using Zorin OS 16.3 since it came out and I’m impressed by how good the experience of using Zorin is. Zorin is a super polished, premium operation system that’s meant to provide you an elevated computing experience.
So let’s jump right in and have a look at what’s new, what’s improved, the user interface, performance, stability, usability, the gaming experience and do a total deep dive with Zorin OS 16.3. This is going to be good.

Man , in all your videos whatever distro it is you are covering you always say is the ultimate Linux distro 😂
I love these insight videos .
You're just noticing that he says the same things about every distro while showing more or less the same thing on screen?
Bonus: Play a drinking game where you down a shot everytime he says, "here". You'll be drunk in 5 minutes.

@@weiSanethe same way a plug says he got the best weed ever, or those Keyboard people everytime they build a new one it's the best
how you know a relentless salesman 😂
😁
My favorite distro ! Can't wait for Zorin 17 !
Let's be honest here 😂
Never seen a distro take so long to update its version, even a distro owned by one person is faster, even Debian that is famous for being old and dated is faster. The excuse of ”stability" doesn't work anymore. They will need to give another reason.
@@Arnt91 Agreed. I have it as a dual boot in my old Windows 10 based Dell Inspiron 13 2017 laptop i3-7100 by carving around 60 GB of a 1TB SSD out of Windows and installed 16.3 Lite aka XFCE.
Zorin while looking good is unfortunately still uses Focal Fossa 20.04 LTS based and it is inexcusable. Still no Jammy based distro?? With the new 22.4.3 LTS upgrade even Ubuntu has upgraded the Kernel to 6.2. What prevents Zorin from implementing it?
Even the boomer OS PCLinuxOS which mixes and matches things between RPM and DEB is running 6.4 Kernel.
@@rspgpfamilyso what do you recommend that can run windows close to native as possible with kernel 6.2 or 6.4.
When is 17 released?
@@rspgpfamily Get to the point that even Debian stable updated and they was still using Ubuntu 20.04. This is an absurd for me. I'm sure they will take an eternity for releasing a version based on 24.04, of course, when this Ubuntu version is ready. I bet it would be years and years of waiting after Ubuntu got it done. They might think... Well, what about a new version of Zorin? This probably by the end of 2026. 😱😂
yo… It's all good… But in every video you talk about each one like it's the one and only Shit… like the ultimate gonna be the next hard standard for the next X years… I think it's cool that you never say anything negative… This is my second dive into Linux and I'm all in this time so I'm watching a lot of videos but I always remember you because of the way you speak. You're always really excited about things and that's good to go… You sound Way more natural in videos this year compared to you're earlier vids in which you sound very scripted. So if you keep going your're gonna be a Boss... Hope your channel grows…
And you have at least 1 new subscriber now... I would only add that as you grow as a channel experienced linux users will be in your viewers. Things like SNAP were brutally rejected by most. And if I didn't know better by 1st hand experience I would have been on the SNAP wagon... FireFox for me on SNAP - Sucked ( FF SNAP >10% slower) on my machine. I didn't even know about SNAP until later. I purged everything SNAP replaced it with the NON-SNAP versions. On paper/diagram SNAP is a good choice. However the real world results must also be good. So you will need to evaluate where you draw your line on when to be critical on something so that you can maintain credibility and not get agro in you comments section...
Thank you very much buddy
Zorin is amazing The only thing I've ever had issues with is drivers when it comes to our copy machines and the fact that Zorn will go ahead and install every single printer it finds on the network which sounds good until you realize you have 50 printers on your network
I mean... better to have it and not need it, right? You know, after the 15-20 minutes for the driver installs. lol
Is Epson one of them ... Does it print?
Can it install and run Windows 7... apps... yet?
Users have been waiting on a linux that can run windows apps without some nasty Wine rubbish... for decades. I left Zorin because it's handling of the taskbar was terrible. Instead of providing a list of all open windows, it gives you.. yuk.. thumbnails.. until you pass some kidn of threshold.. and then you get the vertical text list of open windows you want to see all along.
Windows 10 does the same nastiness... but you can turn it off with WinAeroTweaker.
No more Thumbnail previews from teh taskbar. We all h8t3 them.
Linux will never be able to run Windows apps without wine or something like it
I wouldn't have found out about Zorin OS if it wasn't for the fact Pop!_OS has such a GOOFY AHH 🤓🚙📯 Lacucaracha Car Horn "I don't go outside because I'm too busy making knowing shorthand terminal commands my entire personality so I wrote a comic about it" type name.
ZORIN is the ONLY Linux distro I recommend to friends/family looking at or wanting to switch to linux. It is perfect for most first time Linux users.
I installed it on my office computer. Even the people who can use just basic windows are also comfortable using this distro. Love it for that simplicity
@RiyoOffGrid-sw9pjwhy do you say it’s an objectively bad OS? Do you have any specific reasons it’s bad?
@RiyoOffGrid-sw9pj I told my experience. Even I don't like it to run on my personal machine but If someone who doesn't know computers can use a distro without much efforts, its a good distro. Don't hate anything if you don't like it.
@RiyoOffGrid-sw9pjwhy not?
You definitely do the best Desktop Linux Run Through videos
Thank you Zubin. Appreciate it.
@@LinuxTexwe appreciate
*NGL... As someone who's in the middle of building a new rig, and wanting to make the SWITCH over to Linux....*
*ZORIN is the one O.S i've been looking at. I was looking at Mint (and admittedly I like Mint's LOOKS Customization better).*
*But Zorin has that Microsoft application support, which I feel would make the transition just that little bit much easier.*
ALL Linux distros can have Microsoft application support.
All distro supports it just understand how to configure them
MX Linux is a favorite of mine. I distro hopped for awhile ( that was admittedly kinda fun and informative). Once I figured out that my needs were pretty basic, i was able to land on MX and I've been really happy.
EVERYTHING is "amazing"! ............... how can all distros be "amazing"??? You could sell ice to the eskimos!

I love Zorin.
Clean, simple and Ubuntu based so compatible.
Zorin OS is good but has a lot of downsides at the moment that are not shown in this video. It is based on the older version of Ubuntu 20.04. The Linux kernel version itself is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS GA, which in some cases causes problems. Another downside is the Gnome version, which is based on a much older version. For example, the new version of Debian 12 has a newer version of Gnome. Debian Bookworm also has a newer version of etc than ZorinOS.
So, to sum up. Zorin OS is very behind Debian, and other distributions that have much newer versions of Gnome and applications than Zortin itself. In addition, is a friendly system for inexperienced linux users switching from, for example, Windows. Also It is a good system for people who don't care about older versions of software.
Do you think they'll upgrade to the most recent version of ubuntu, kernel, and gnome when they release 17?
@@joshbeeri I don't think so, Zorin 17 will probably be based on Ubuntu 22.04. So it won't be a very new version of Gnome like it is in Fedora 38, for example. They could also wait a while for the release of the new Ubuntu LTS 24.04, and then rely on this version.
linux mint is more up to date?
ived read that zorin wont have major update being based on older gnome..but its still linux and it still depends on the developers themselves..i mean security is given but all i hope for the zorin 17 is the adaptive modern folders,widgets,and like all linux distros,,a better app library..more stable compatability with wine and play on linux... won't ask for more..its light,its fast,its flexibly(free) and customizable..its already beatiful..my personal experience it can make your 10 yr. old potato pc upgrade ,better drivers,revives my bluetooth on 2 laptops,brightness control on grphics which windows terribly fails to do so..like i dont know whats their goal anymore..nothings almost changed..instead,microsofts is giving machine killing windows 10...💔
@@lexinggeneral Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. Nowadays, there are many great distributions that offer similar functionality, maybe even a little better. Most distributions are also free, easy to use, fast and customizable. The appearance is a matter of taste, you can always customize it by installing custom icons, themes, cursors, etc.
As for wine and compatibility, every Linux distribution supports it. Just not all of them have wine out of the box installed. Personally, instead of installing just wine, I use the Bottles application. Which is based on wine but is better. Also for example, a great distribution has recently appeared that makes it easier to play on Linux. So the statement that Zorin Os is special, and there are no better distributions that can offer the same or even more is wrong. It all depends on personal preferences, everyone has different ones.
The best OS if you are Win user who wants to make old slow machine once again viable. User friendly and excellent job with the drivers of old machines. For very casual PC it's actually better than Win.
New Zorin distro user here coming from Endeavor Arch Linux 💯..2 weeks in and I like it so far with a great community.
I'm going to get the Pro version as I believe monetizing great works like this will push Linux as a whole forward as no many people are happy with Windows 11
MAN, I don't want this bunch of crappy apps, I want a downloads folder on the screen, I want to right click and make another folder, ANYWHERE!, I want to grab it with the mouse pointer and drag it to the folder, I want to open it an icon MY COMPUTER AND SEE CLEARLY NAMED UNITS, I WANT TO SWITCH WALLPAPER WITH ONE CLICK, OK?
So just use windows lol
After trying many distros ended up at vanilla os. Its very streamlined, great UI (unlike mint). It is immutable and safe (ABRoot). Looks very polished like mac OS/Windows 11.
Have Zorin on a Laptop, it's does a solid job as a side system that is used daily use. The new built in upgrade feature worked with absolutely no issues. It took me from 16.2 to 16.3 and felt like a regular everyday update. Super smooth and does the job
A very good hybrid distro (Debian, Ubuntu, Gnome DE plus XFCE DE). I think their choice to make both snaps and flatpaks fully operable from the start is a wise one. Zorin is stuck with an old kernel though, which works to keep it off new hardware.
Old kernel. Telemetry. Snaps. Ubuntu reliant. Stay away, just painted over with eye candy you can put on any system. Just get LMDE 6 version of Linux Mint.
14:41 will MSFS2020 load faster on main menu. then start sell linux allready LOL. so fat 100hour loading game to just main menu. what eva is doing background. mining crypto or loading ads and let you just wait lol lol. OR we can use windows and run linux bash. no need install linux OS and run windows app lol
Great, but still: My favourite distros will keep to be Mint Cinnamon and MX XFCE!!
all computers must come without an operating system already installed, microsoft is a monopoly and that is criminal. people must chose which operating system they want. we go to a shop, buy the computer and there they ask us: which operating system would you like and we decide.
I mean, I appreciate this video and the work that obviously went into it, but the amount of hyperbole is a little extreme. Maybe don't use chatgpt for your narration scripts or something.
Online video streaming stops after few minutes and there is not voice in online and off videos. Can anybody help me. Already installed restricted extras.
15:58 yes then we install debian and install zorin theme. look 100% same. too bad linux desktop is still 3% becouze million distros and windows is just one
Looks fancy but I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2009 and will continue to use it.
Zorin is the first Linux distro I've "played with" -- and I've "played with" many -- that really has me thinking of switching to a Linux distribution as my primary operating system. If I can figure out how to make a couple Windows applications fully functional on it, I'll be switching.
No mention here of paid or free version of Zorin, so you don't really know anything about the distro.
linux have 0 app i use everyday on windows and nothing even close. and would not install linux just to install windows apps lol. whats point doing that. i can use bash on windows. linux is best on bash
I have a 49” ultrawide monitor. When using windows, I absolutely love Fancy Zones. It allows me to create a custom layout of zones and then I can snap windows to them by holding shift and dragging windows. Has anyone tried running Microsoft PowerToys and Fancy Zones on Zorin with Wine? Does anyone know of an alternative that would allow me to do something similar on Zorin?

old laptop start heating after upgrade to 16.3 😢. 16.0 was better .
But its slow as hell. Only for fast systems. The terminal fonts I didnt like. And the software store is slow.
I'm just excited for when they update to a modern Ubuntu Base
Wowww, when I get a new laptop I will get this Zorin OS 16. 3 to help my laptop
Is it possible to make the scrollbar wider? Why so thin? It's a disaster.
I've been using zorin os for about 2 years now and its the only distro I keep coming back too. I normally have it as the default gnome interface and it takes everything that basic gnome has and makes it better and more usable
Yet another extremely helpful and interesting video. Thank you for all your efforts to create theses masterpieces...
Thanks for this posting. I decided to try this distro by building a virtual machine using VW Fusion and was so pleased that I installed it on an obsolete 2011 Mac Book Pro. Both distros are working extremely well and are amazing. Thanks again for your hard work.
I'm actually going to do the same with Zorin OS on a virtual machine on my Win 10 PC. :)
I want to get familiar with Linux, before I make the jump come 25 October 2025, after Win 10 loses support from MS.
Zorin added new life to my 2011 Macbook pro. It works as well as any new windows computer@@amrishpatel3501
Is it possible to work with Davinci Resolve in Zorin?
*Zorin OS 17* is the latest. It's a systemd distro, so meh.
Huge fan of yours Linux
Finally tried this after about a decade with Windows, and I have to say I'm deeply impressed! The performance is superb, and Zorin Connect is so brain-dead simple to use its a big question mark why the big boy havent had it themselves. I'm looking forward to learning more things with the distro.
Did you use the free version or the premium ?
@@bharatjeevan Core version, although I did migrate to Linux Mint after a while. Still has it on my old laptop though.
@@bayuchandrasukma820 That's interesting that you switched to Mint. I want to dip my toes into Linux. I'm primarily going to be using it for programming so anything that's very polished, stable and doesn't throw a bunch of errors every now and then would work for me :)
Do you think I should start with Mint or Zorin ?
@@bharatjeevan both is good! I'd say Mint has newer kernel, two base versions (one Ubuntu and one Debian), and more stable overall. Never have any issues with it, but I'm more of office work than programmer.
@@bayuchandrasukma820 Gotcha. Thanks a lot for clarifying things 👍🏼
Im gonna switch to this when windows 10 has no support
I mean I love zorin os I bought the pro version and I love it. The issue was that the laptop I was using it on was about 3 years old. However it broke so I was forced to get a new laptop this year. The issue is that zorin os 16 does not support my wifi. This is because it's based on ubuntu 20.04 which does not have the drivers for my wifi. Probably because my laptop was made this year. I have tested it and the wifi drivers do work on ubuntu 22.04. So I would have to wait for zorin os 17 based on ubuntu 22.04. Then I would be able to use the distro again. The thing about linux is thats its not very good at supporting new hardware as you have to wait a bit for the drivers to get made for your hardware. Not to mentioned I have tested this out too but my wifi only works on debian 13. Which barly just hit testing mode. Whicb means I wouldnt even be able to use debian till 2025.
Try using mint on your new laptop.
I am new to linux please give me a proper suggestion, I am planning to migrate from windows to Linux, so which one will be better for me as a beginner "Ubuntu or Zorin Os " please suggest me, thank you in advance ❤️.
Ubuntu and Zorin are the almost same just with a different interface , you can start with Zorin OS.

Zorin is better version of win 7 now with modern design
la restaurazione del secondo tempio di gerusalemme target da realizzare coi soldi dell'os
so its debian and zorin wallpaper and theme + addons apps
My only gripe with ZorinOS is the updates. TOOOOOOO many updates, almost every day it tells me of more updates even though I tell it to only tell me every 2 weeks. Then if I choose NOT to stop what I am doing and install them it will literally lock me up and make all of the icons on my desktop disappear and from the taskbar. Forbid I have any important items open when that happens. Its just as bad as Windows 10 and 11 in that respect.
Can someone tell me how to configure the Start Menu Taskbar to NEVER display Thumbnail Window Previews, but ALWAYS a vertical Text list of Windows open instead.
This is the most aggravating thing about Zorin, having to visual scan these horizontal thumbnails across the bottom of your screen, until you reach some arbitrary number which it switches to a much more familiar and comfortable vertical text list. OMG I loathe these thumbnails so much. And if you ALT-TAB or whateve ryou get the same nonsense but in a grid pattern, which is utterly useless to me as a blind person as I can't see images. White text on black bagrounds, yes. Images, and window image previews... NO.
I gave up this distro... It takes more time than Debian to update to another version.
Do you prioritize stability over cutting-edge? If yes, then Zorin and Debain should be your choices over other distros that release frequent updates
@@jockfaire No one needs to stay in the past in order to have stability, this is a myth. This is so dated. The team behind are lazy devs, even distros created by one only person are faster to update. Get to the point Debian already had it's new version and Zorin was still stuck in the past. I'm not kidding, even ElementaryOS team that also takes longer to release a new version, released one before then, way early. This is nuts for me.
Linux Mint is the ultimate linux distro. Fight me.
There is no perfect distro.. mint has a package issue , even though it's great , ubuntu is better but it takes much more resources, I'm a cs guy travelling through all the debian distros

Zorin is amazing but it has many bugs.
13:31 better say whos thats not if list was not all LOL
I just tried to log into my ZOrin OS to run upgrader, and the system was completely unusable since I've changed monitors since then. There was no taskbar at all, just a window you could right click to do Settings and Display Settings and Terminal, but when you tried any of them no window would open up at all. It's been 30 years now and still.. Linux is as dwmb as h377 as it was back in the early 1990's
Yeah I am switching to Mint too
Thank you for information...
You sound as though you're reading this from a Zorin OS brochure. There is basically nothing new in 16.3 other than the upgrader feature. The rest is nothing but app updates, which, if you've been updating your computer in the meantime, are already up to date anyway. What I'd be really interested in is seeing what new features are planned for the 17 release
I've got an off topic question. I know this is sacrilegious, but I have connected my Thinkpad running Zorin to my Windows domain environment. I'm able to login using my AD account. Almost everything works fine, except for sudo. When I try running something with sudo, I get: [AD account] is not allowed to run sudo on [Laptop name]. This incident will be reported.
As I understand it, I'm somehow supposed to add my AD account or group into a list of users allowed to run sudo. I'm unsure as to how to do this. Anyone have any suggestions?
My problem with Gnome gui is with the idiocy having one specific folder view type throughout the entire os. It's such a deal breaker for me that I avoid anything Gnome. I like having large tile views in my pictures and most everything else a detail list. KDE Plasma just has it all. I've been driving Nobara kde plasma and damn, its good. If only I didn't update the kernel so now virtualbox fails to install any linux guest, which is lame. Everything else is pretty amazing, such as playing gta5 smoother than windows, wow. Yes, I have issues from time to tome however, for such a small group of developers this is noteworthy.
Apparently a lot of distros now suffer from a problem with intalling on old Macbooks or Atom based hardware, the hardware supports 64 bit architecture BUT REQUIRE 32 bit EFI bootloader and it also appears that it must be too much trouble to even offer a completely 32 bit iso in leu of an option for 64 bit with 32 bit installer

I'm going to a few Linux sites to let people know one thing about Linux I've had experience with. I'm an Amateur radio operator (Ham) I run Linux focal OS built for Hams I was at the Microsoft website and got a DDoS on my computer which said it was locked, I simply power the computer down waited a few minutes rebooted no problems the computer came back on so the story about Linux is true it's safe from these types of attacks. I also run Manjaro Linux on another computer with no problems.
Still based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?
Yeh, the biggest problem is that the repositories are about 3 years old. So current Debian has newer versions of literally everything.
Some time ago I installed zorin 16.1 Pro on my Tosiba 300L Satellite. I still found finding software I like to use a bit of a pain, and I haven't even turned on that laptop in ages. If I do, will I get an offer to upgrade to 16.3 or will I need to install 16.3 over top what is already there?
"Windows refugee!" 😭😭😭 that was a low-blow. I've been using Zorin 16 has my first ever distro and so far so good.
you're late lol
This site makes choosing a distro so hard. So I've now got POP OS on my main gamer, Zorin on my work horse and Blend on my laptop.
Too much fanboyism
thanks nice video ! would be great to have a "linux tex scale" when reviewing them haha like : i would give this os a 7 out of 10 on the linux tex scale

brilliant OS not had one problem. Found all my printers without trouble.
I'm currently on PopOS on one machine. Looking to see what happens with Cosmic. I have the full version of Zorin, but went back because of a chip issue that was causing problems with all distros. Anyhoo that's been resolved, but I've stuck with PopOS.
Over my own long-term trials of several distros, Zorin has proved one of the most reliable.
I love that Zorin breathed new life into my Windows 8 laptop. My only complaint is that loading takes a long time.
Zorin must be good if our well experienced and wise PC guru is so excited about it!
Wonder how this compares to Lubuntu for an old laptop?
wonderful distro review zorin os is my distro of choice for youtube production

The only app still worht running on Linux is... Firefox.
And it's been decades now... Firefox is still the only app worth running under Linux.
But you can do that with Windows. A ll we want is for Zorin OS to work exactly like Windows 7. Everybody misses Windows 7.

Looks good.. I HATE gnome-- but this kinda overcomes that... I think I'll give it a try-- (now- so no one gets their knickers in a twist-- NOTHING against gnome- I just can't adjust it to my work-- I"ve tried- and end up all clogged and screwed up-- NOTHING against the software at all-- as I DO like the look etc.) but this ELLIMINATES that issue. I want to try this and can use the snaps to install ANBOX and maybe even set up my security cam system on it via android app. THANKS-- GREAT REVIEW... (I'm thinking about your course too)
