I personally find it to be the ideal distro for those who don't want to touch a lot and want to have something fully functional post-install, as well as for newer users or those coming from other operating systems. If, like Zorin OS, it can do that while looking awesome, and without hiding key config tools and the Terminal, then so much the better.I am a happy user of Zorin Os Ultimate About some months ago ( and I admit that I owe you the review of the Ultimate version), it is a distro that I love, that works very well on my computer, that has a large number of applications installed by default and that has not given me any problems in the months that I have been using it. But anything that eases the transition to desktop Linux is alright by us. We don’t really think a distro should try to be Windows-alike or Mac-alike, since that risks aping the flaws in those systems. Unlike previous editions, Zorin will now feature regular point updates, presumably keeping cadence with Ubuntu’s hardware and security updates. Final verdictĪccording to its blog, this is Zorin’s ‘biggest release ever’, and it certainly is impressive. This definitely isn’t for older hardware though, Chromium and LibreOffice here are as resource hungry as they are anywhere else.

There are some subtle drop shadow effects and transparency on the taskbar, both of which enhance usability besides looking pretty.Ī clean boot on our modest review machine (a second-generation Intel Core i5 with 4GB of RAM) took about 20 seconds and saw Zorin occupying less than 600MB of RAM.
#ZORIN OS CORE WINDOWS#
It turns out we don’t need windows to disappear in a puff of driver-crashing smoke to have a lovely desktop. Fortunately, tastes have moved on and those fripperies are gone. Zorin used to feature a lot of Compiz effects, namely wobbly windows and the desktop cube.
