My experience of using Zorin Linux 16
Posted: 19 Oct 2021, 08:18
Hello folks, recently I replaced the dualboot of Windows Vista and 7 on my laptop with Zorin Linux 16 Core.
(For the Windows Vista and 7 fans here, I don't hate them, but I decided to replace them with something that could be better, and an Ubuntu-based Linux distro was the first thing that came to my mind)
The installation was fast and I was able to modify the installation to suit my tastes without any hassle.
I then reached the desktop, which looks as simple as it does on any Windows version.
My laptop ran Windows Vista and 7 fast, but the speed of Zorin OS is on another level. I feel that the laptop runs extra fast now!
Almost all of my Windows applications run smoothly on Wine [MS Office 2007/10, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Adobe Flash CS6 (yes I still use Adobe Flash) etc.] and I run the ones that don't on a few VirtualBox VMs.
Other applications such as Audacity, Skype, Zoom and VLC are available on the Software store.
Updates are quite frequent, but I set them to install whenever necessary and politely decline if I don't need them. The OS obeys.
So, if you are planning to switch to Linux, remember to try out Zorin Linux. You will absolutely like it.
Edit: I upgraded to Pro yesterday and the experience is even better.
Edit 2: I came across this video where the uploader tells you 20 things to do after installing Zorin OS 16, which will enhance your experience of using Zorin OS.
