Zorin OS 16.1 | One Of The Most Polished Distributions

why fork form ubuntu instead debian tho? sigh...

Zorin is very nice I paid for the pro 16 version, but the lack of control to make the taskbar/panel as I wanted it (without huge spaces) made me migrate to Mint (Cinnamon).

Hope you're doing good :)

I'm stunned by this Zorin distro. I don't use Linux because of Photoshop, Adobe XD and Illustrator but wow you can see that a good UI designer put time to design this.

Ubuntu and Zorin are beautiful but lots of Linux fanatics hate them because they are "selling themselves" whatever that means. I feel like 90% of Linux community doesn't want Linux to look professional and aesthetically pleasing to attract windows users. They enjoy if average user finds Linux too hard for daily use which is really weird.

I was excited at the beginning but I made the big mistake of updating while I was traveling and the update totally destroyed my wifi drivers and other things. I used to love zorin I even had the "premium" one but looks like updates are not stable enough. Time to go back to something else, I was thinking about mx Linux or endeavouros.

My fav distros:
Rank 1 pop os
Rank 2 elementary os - zorin os
Rank 3 feren os
Note: the Rank is in order of my recommendation level to other people (It's not only for new users, it's for all users)
Edit2: my own preference is feren os

It's okay if you don't like customizing themes.

You have to opt out of the census. They reversed the words ‘Don’t participate in the census’.
Despicable move.
I'm not installing this Zorin crap.

Zorin. 15. Hurt my eyes to bright. Maybe I try zorin 16 to see if they fix it. Better themes options would be great too.

Great Video! I simply love this OS.

could you consider covering multi-monitor multi-dpi support and fractional scaling support in your distro reviews? this is one of the most important features for me and no distro gets it right so far.

Thank you Tyler for reading out loud what was on the screen.

You know your target Linux audience, but you need to keep up the good work and keep pointing at the words, you gave up after a while.

Can you mount icons to the right on the Desktop and add a home folder to the desktop when using the MacOS theme without having to use Gnome Extensions?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

So glad I subscribed to this channel. Whenever a new distro or distro update is released, I know I don't have to resort to distro hopping because Tyler will cover it (and all versions of it) thoroughly 😁

Could you test please WayDroid Linux ? Having android apps on Linux running fast is such a big deal.

Is it possible to get the free version and buy / upgrade After installation?

So 32 bit system won't work?

Zorin is what got me to switch from Windows to Linux 👍

Zorin used to look reallly good, but the transparancy on the bottom bar is way to mutch they need to increase it or make it solid.

Icons not being centered with respect to display in xfce panel is an xfce problem. Don't know why no devs care to fix it. The items just get centered within the available free space in the panel and there's no way to center items with respect to the whole length of the panel.

love the zorin os coming from windows this is first time switchin to linux for good!

i have a problem with my bluetooth. its only keep searching but nothing found. also in this distro you cannot use your laptop as wifi extender.

So inhave zorin 12.4. Can I install this over top of this? What's the difference between these two? Thanks

It is beautiful but it uses kernel 5.13... I own ryzen cpu which benefits a lot from kernel 5.17 soo good distro for Intel users?, too bad that team decided to base it on Ubuntu :/ If it was based on rpm/dnf distro e.g. Fedora it would be my one and only choice of os.

xero linux ?

Hey there unfortunately, i need to leave this comment, in the past one week i was so confident, that i`ll change the windows to some of the new linux based system that you cannot imagine, don`t get me wrong, i`m trying to do that since ubuntu was 6.04(i have basic knowledge), you can do the math, so in the past week i have tried zorin, fedora, pop os, ubuntu and kubuntu, all of them with the latest versions. and i had a similar problem bluetooth and VPN, i have keychorn k2, keyboard that is working flawless in windows, specially ON THE LOGIN SCREEN, if you want to do that you need to do research on the internet how to do that, hey it`s a asus dongle, it`s not just some dongle, dongle which is working with bluetooth 5.0 and with which i can use the keyboard and my mouse at the same time, in the distributions that i tried, for example zorin i didn`t even had a chance with the default installed bluetooth package to detect the keyboard neither the mouse. So tried to some different option and at least i managed to connect the keyboard, but then come the second problem enabling bluetooth on login screen so i can type my password, but i didn`t manage to do that here he vpn was ok, in the other distros i was able to connect both. but either keyboard or mouse was not working ok, in some of the them the network-manager (the default) was not capable to established connection via VPN, yes with some adjustment in all of them i was able to make it work. And now imaginе someone without this basic knowledge, i`m not trying to be a hater or something like that, i`ll be really happy someday to move into this world, but every time that i want to migrate everything to "linux" there are these small obstacles, the will take your time instead of doing something that you want to do. But since the last stable version of ubuntu 18.04 i still have it on my latop i see l lot`s of improvement, specially for zorin i really like it but like i said with this things i cannot spend hours to search something that is already working. Anyhow keep going with the work you do, i thing we will have something great in the next years, or why not with next stable release after one month :) CHeers

This one is luggy and buggy like hell i

Omg so much support for Ukraine, where Nazi Azov is legal and part of political parties

I didn't come here to watch Ukraine politics

Whatbullshit, politically driven advertising to blackmail the emotionally lied to.

could you play steam games on zorin ? I want to play total war : warhammer I

Do they fixed the headphone output buzzing noise issue? I think Realtek related

I just want to thank Zorin for supporting the Azov Nazi battalion in Ukraine. Very brave of them to openly support Nazi's in these politically correct times.

Zorin is a great OS especially for those moving from Windows. Clean, polished and works well. I wish companies and software writers to just leave their politics behind supporting the current thing and get on with being productive. There are always 2 sides to the story and as per usual with the entire middle east saga the US and NATO are at fault and 2 blame for what's going on currently. The old saying now, "Go Woke, Go Broke"!

Every tutorial I watch about Linux distributions make it seem simple. I run into the Batchelder installation, which never seems to recognize my DVD or flash drive. I thought my Zorin distro could update to Zorin 16.1 without this annoying step, but no luck.

Summary for me: Should I ever leave my tiling wm: xfce4 has it all.

Zorin blew my mind.....excellent distribution. Switched from Manjaro xfce to Zorin permenantly. Actually I liked pop_os too but Zorin won my heart.

I have never been able to get Zorin to work. Linux Mint works on any computer I use old or new.

what about printer such as EPSON is the driver already installed ?

I want to love Zorin OS. I even bought the Pro of 16.0 over a year ago, but still on Gnome 3.3x? :( I'm sorry, but mandatory/forced window-to-window snapping is just an automatic disqualification for me. This is fixed on any of the modern Gnome 4x DEs.

I don’t really care about Ukraine. What about the bombings of Russian majority villages in Ukraine? Keep politics out if this.

Nicely done video. I am introducing my family to Linux using Zorin. Its working quite well.

Funny thing is all the extra's that is installed in the pro version is installable from the repo's !!

It's great they include the flatpak versions of applications in the install. In most other distros I have to uninstall the binary version of LibreOffice so I can replace it with the up to date flatpak version.

Many things are broke down for more polishing this thing

E.g top bar menu are gone, taskbar plank are gone, and more add on not compatible anymore, fuck this project and entire linux community
