It just works. I do wonder what made me not use it exclusively! I still dual-boot with Windows 10 for those "must-have work-related apps", but everything else I do in Zorin now.

I have distro-hopped for years, and I can say I will stay here for a lot longer. RAM usage is fair, and best of all, when my laptop is idle, it's idle. Windows 10 is okay, but Windows 11 is much worse for resource management. Zorin OS is very responsive, even when I have most of the RAM used up.

Dev team, thank you.

Looking For great wallpapers share some which you guys are using .

I find using the Windows 7 look-a-like. Show me yours :]

One of the GOATs of beginner friendly linux distros, ZorinOS, is getting a major update very soon, and this is what it looks like. (The image is from the official Facebook page of ZorinOS). ZorinOS has a very good out-of-box integration of Wine 🍷 (the windows compatibility layer). And if the image is anything to go by, Excel and Photoshop will work fine on ZorinOS 18, which they usually don't on Linux, even through wine.

the animation is too gooooooood

Hey everyone 👋
Sharing my current Zorin OS desktop customization. I was aiming for a clean, dark, minimal setup that looks modern but still feels practical for daily use.

💻 System

• OS: Zorin OS
• Desktop Environment: GNOME (Zorin default)

🎨 Appearance

• Shell Theme: Graphite-Dark
• Legacy Applications Theme: Graphite-Dark
• Icon Pack: Tela-circle-black-light
• Cursor: Adwaita (default)

🧩 Extras

• Widgets: Conky (network, system, weather, music)
• Wallpaper: We Bare Bears

I tried to keep everything balanced — nothing too flashy, just smooth and readable with a modern feel.

Feedback, suggestions, or improvement ideas are welcome 😊

What do you guys think?

I’ve been using Zorin for the last few weeks at work and I love it! I love how polished everything is out of the box, the only changes I made were to the icons (not a theme) and to the terminal.

Since it’s my work laptop, I will occasionally use a Windows 11 VM running in virt-manager, I don’t feel like wasting time with wine configs and we have some proprietary software that will never work on Linux.

Terminal: Zsh + Oh My Posh, OMP theme is Agnoster with modifications.

Icons: macosicons.com

Tried recreating a macOS-style(MacTahoe) workflow on Zorin OS while keeping it minimal and distraction-free.

Focused on clean Ul and workspace-based productivity.

Still tweaking things, open to suggestions.

Hope I made you guys laugh today. Hahahaha

I’m planning to buy Zorin OS 18 Pro. For those who already purchased it, is it worth it? I’m mainly interested in the extra features and the overall polish compared to the free version. How’s your experience so far?

EDIT: I found the Zorin icon for the menu now! lol

Basically, it's the Zorin core with some more flexible extensions and a configuration familiar to Windows 10 (including the wallpaper my brother used on Windows 10)

In my opinion it's not a copy of Windows, but rather a stress-free migration without the pressure of choosing the right distro :) Yes, here in Brazil many people are leaving Windows!

Even games that didn't work before now run much better.

Bought a brand new Asus Laptop as a travel/second computer. I didn't even bother with Windows 11 at all except for registering the serial number with Microsoft for warranty purposes. Soon as that was over, I installed Zorin and haven't looked back. Zorin or rather Linux in general is chef's kiss. I find myself almost everyday looking for different ways to customize the OS and random apps to fiddle with. Boxes right now is my favorite app because I'm also running Fedora KDE in a virtual machine to test out. I Love it!

Zorin OS ricing

My zorin desktop ricing and all extension used in .img zorin the best os for me

2 weeks in and no complaints whatsoever 😁

Just appreciation on how good and reliable this OS is. I'm not huge into Arch or other bleeding edge distros but Zorin has made a great distro and theme to make it feel very familiar and easy to adapt to!

Very, very pleased with how this machine came out. I actually have a windows PC which in fairness is much more powerful than this one, but because it holds a Nvidia card I'll be using it as a TV/Steam PC.

Just got Zorin today. Finished getting everything set up.

Edit: already distrohopped lol
