For work, mainly Libreoffice (writer, calc, impress), Firefox. For leisure, Lutris, thanks to which I can play my favorite game: Diablo II Resurrected.
Thanks dude. Yeah I'm hella glad to see that kernel upgrade too. I really wish they would give you a recent kernel on a regular basis like pop os without user intervention.
As a total noob on Linux, transitioning from Windows, Zorin is very appealing.. And much resource friendly, I'm still learning new things and so far its great... Thank you for the insights into this Distro 👏
we installed Zorin OS in 2015 Macbook Air and could not make WiFi connection working. we gave up with Zorin and installed DEEPIN OS and everything works fine.
I actually recommend Ventoy over Balena Etcher; with Ventoy, you can just let Ventoy make your USB pen/thumb drive bootable, then cut-and-paste the distro .iso of your choice onto it (or even several distro .iso images) -- then boot to the drive, choose which live environment you want to boot into, play with it, install it, whatever.
Yeah Ventoy's really cool. I think one time when Balena wasn't working for me, when I was trying to create a bootable USB for Windows installation. IIRC, Ventoy just did it fine. Booted into the installation program and I was on my way.
We are glad that you have shown the entire brochure website for us in a video it would have been nice if you have installed some application which works in windows on this and there perfomance.
I Have a ? i see this video is now 5 months old but i will ask anyway i just purchased Zorin OS 17 on a usb stick and did not notice it was not 17.1 until later how hard is it to upgrade ?? ... Thanks
Damn, for a second I thought you were Jenna Ortega :D I was using it, but it was too unstable around a month ago, which is expected really. Will try again when the alpha launches.
I just installed Zorin OS this morning. -It’s a very nice looking OS. -It’s seems very lightweight. -Installed very quick. -I was able to install Steam and play a quick 20 min session of Helldivers 2. It does come with a few apps that I will never use, so I uninstalled them with no trouble. I mainly use my PC for work proposals, gaming and surfing the web.
I had installed Zorin as dual Boot with Win10, in my old Dell Laptop, I3 processor, Very good results. No lagging. For Spread Sheet installed WPS Office. I want to continue this Zorin OS, though using Windows. My favorite is, in this OS is Zorin Connect, with this I can connect to my Mobile. I would like to say : "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT" with Zorin OS. Thank you Zorin Team.
As a lifelong Windows user, what I like about Zorin OS 17 is that I was able to install it completely and install the Brave browser and other software without any need for using Terminal command line inputs. I did have to use Terminal to set up a dual-boot menu with Zorin and Windows 10, but it was easy to look up the command lines to install Grub Customizer which made it very easy to customize the dual boot menu. I'm still using Windows 10 for now, but when Microsoft ends support for 10, I'll just switch to Zorin as my primary OS.
One additional note; I've played with Logsec a little, and maybe it's because I'm rapidly closing in on 'older fella' territory, but I just don't "get it." However, coming from macOS and the Ulysses markdown app, Obsidian is just my speed.
On my oldest , Gen 4, X1 Carbon ThinkPad I run Zorin 17.1 Education, and it is totaly free. Zorin dual boots alongside Fedora 40. I also use a modded versions of Windows 11 on another laptop.
I have to put this on my schedule. I'm trying ouf a number of windows alternatives. My problem is I use a lot of proprietary that are rare enough. That no one has created an alternative. And often when there is an alternative. The learning curve to learn a new system is just too high. Especially for a program that isn't used all the often.
@@GsMultiverse No problem, let's throw all the adobe package out. I really don't like the adobe software and still it is very known so everyone will know the options. Maybe can you show us other windows software installed on Zorin?
I just installed Zorin on an old W10 laptop. I had stopped using it because it was just too slow. It's running way better than my W11 Ryzen 7 laptop should. I think it's the right time to switch to Linux
PoP OS, also if you begin switching your apps to web versions and LibreOffice, there are very few specific programs that would require Windows, even games running on Proton/wine run very good and fast. Some platforma like Steam also provide Linux based games or compatibility.
To be very frank the windows app support is really a disappointment,its nothing but wyne which comes inbuilt. The zorin os is a buggy software i switched to several distros after this, and came back to ubuntu ,still its a masterpiece
Who's got Zorin OS running on their systems?
I have been using it for some time, both at work and at home, with very good results.
And the award for the first comment goes to you :D
What kind of apps do you use?
For work, mainly Libreoffice (writer, calc, impress), Firefox.
For leisure, Lutris, thanks to which I can play my favorite game: Diablo II Resurrected.
replaced windows 10 on a very low performance notebook with zorin, hassle free and way better performance. User didnt felt a difference
I really appreciate your video - I'm glad to see the update to the kernel with this release.

I love Zorin my first Linux experience for a month now switch to Linux from Windows.

Yeah. I have a 32Gb thumb drive, and using Balena to etch just one ~3Gb .iso onto it just seems wasteful to me after finding Ventoy.@@GsMultiverse
Zorin just looks too good. A lot better than windows in my opinion. It has that modern feel.
We are glad that you have shown the entire brochure website for us in a video it would have been nice if you have installed some application which works in windows on this and there perfomance.
I actually agree with you. It would have been a more useful video than showing the website.
I Have a ? i see this video is now 5 months old but i will ask anyway i just purchased Zorin OS 17 on a usb stick and did not notice it was not 17.1 until later how hard is it to upgrade ?? ... Thanks
I think downloading the updates normally within the system would do, you shouldn't have to install the latest iso
@@GsMultiverse Ok Great Thank You For getting Back To Me
Eyy no worries fam
U using the cosmic desktop?
Damn, for a second I thought you were Jenna Ortega :D
I was using it, but it was too unstable around a month ago, which is expected really. Will try again when the alpha launches.
@@GsMultiverse
I don't know who that is lol. I like Pop Os but I don't like that old version of gnome, hope they release the oficial Cosmic soon
She's a famous actress. Yeah I'm waiting for that as well
I am using zorin 16 can i update to 17.1 without data loss
Sure! Just be extra safe and backup your data somewhere else

Totally understandable. Give it a try and lemme know how it went :)
@GsMultiverse Sure thing, researching this a little more. I might move Zorin up the que.
I really wish they'd update more frequently
Sameeee, at least the kernel. If nothing else.
Just switched from mint, zorin looks awesome
Thank for the video. Can you show us how to install windows software like Photoshop on Zorin and make it work?
It's best not to talk about Photoshop on Linux 🙂

Wass poppin'
is it safe to use??
Of course
@@GsMultiverse ok tnx man 😊 then i install it right now...
is zorin os a secure linux? respect the user's privacy. did the corporation create it?
Does it collect and send/sell user data? It has a lot of feature like windows. I wonder if it collects user data as well
There is one toggle if you want to be part of the telemetry otherwise no.
Yes, but it's kinda outdated and doesn't have good fractional scaling. Becomes blurry.
To be very frank the windows app support is really a disappointment,its nothing but wyne which comes inbuilt. The zorin os is a buggy software i switched to several distros after this, and came back to ubuntu ,still its a masterpiece
well good for you that you are ubuntu enjoyer.
just use wine.
