Did you hear for Zorin OS?

It is new linux distro but it is very, very similar to Windows. If some Windows user want try Linux, this would be least stressful way to check it.

Of course it is optimize for device size so it can work everywhere.


Developers say Resistant to viruses but after they get bigger audience they will become target so this will not last to long. Something will show up.

There is also Lite version for older computer and requirments are very small.

CPU 700 MHz Single Core – Intel/AMD 64-bit or 32-bit processor
RAM 512 MB
Storage 8 GB
Display 640 × 480 resolution

Ultimate, Educational and Core versions require little stronger computer.

CPU 1 GHz Dual Core – Intel/AMD 64-bit processor
RAM 2 GB
Storage 10 GB (Core & Education) or 20 GB (Ultimate)
Display 800 × 600 resolution

Everything about Zorin you read on official site. What do you think about it? Some say Mac, Windows and Linux must follow situation carefuly.

Is this for free or do I have to pay something. Does it have protection from Blue screen of death?

Only if you want Ultimate version. It cost 39 euros. All other versions are free.

Blue screen of death is currently not present on this OS. Of course if you try run some unknown application it can cause it. BSD will never gone since many user actions can cause it.

This OS sounds promising. If it can be used with an equal versatility on both Laptops/Desktops and Mobiles as well, it can go a long way.
Let us see how it progresses further in the market.

Zorin Linux app looks amazing running on windows and computers, I'm hoping it becomes available on smart phones. So we can access its features.

Thanks for sharing that mrki444, it is very interesting. This is the first time I have heard of Zorin OS, so was a little surprised when I saw that they are based here in Ireland. I hope the project will continue to be successful for them. I will try installing it, next time I put Linux on an old laptop - I have done this before with Ubuntu and CloudReady and it is a good way of making an old Windows laptop workable again.

Does Zorin Os can be installed with dual boot with Ubuntu 20.04 or they are not the same? (Zorin OS does not detect Ubuntu 20.04) as I have Ubuntu 20.04 and I want to install it in Dual Boot?

Zorin should not have anything with Ubuntu if you want dual boot. If you set everything right, when you start computer it should offer you both systems and then you choose which you want boot. Dual boot is not easy to set. Maybe you should install first Ubunut and later Zorin.

I am used to Gnome so I prefer the distro which are gnome centric. I like zorin but I don't see a chance of replacing my current setup for the zorin.

Gnome is also very similar to Windows, right? Almost all functions can be done using icons and not terminal? Many people don't like Linux since some some actions must be done with terminal.

KDE is similar to Windows.

Gnome is similar to Macintosh OS in Apple's desktop and laptop.

I have been using the Linux since 2005 so terminal or GUI is not an issue for me.

WIth this solution transfer to Linux don't have to be hard. But people still don't like it. When I show them some images, even from Zorin, they are still afraid of it. Even it is very similar.

Transfer to linux feature is pretty common among distros. Why people don't move to Linux? Apps. And the apps which make money for their business are still on windows and mac.
