I would argue that this is a win because you get the Zorin experience with an Ubuntu system which is extremely well supported and documented. Zorin OS does not have its own repositories for the system, APT is still pointed toward the Ubuntu repos.
What sets Zorin apart from Ubuntu seems to be entirely userspace configurations and applications. Going deeper, Zorin OS uses the GNOME desktop and what appears to be fairly vanilla Ubuntu underneath. The consistency between iconography and windows decorator design language set them apart from the rest in a meaningful way.Īgain, this is not to say other icon packs, themes, or color palettes are any less creative or of lower quality, simply that they have less business/office appeal. This is where Zorin, and Pop_OS! for that matter, are a bit different. And I believe this is something lacking in most Linux distributions. But they don’t look professional in the business sense. Most open source iconography tends to be very playful, niche, and sometimes experimental, and many look amazing. Zorin Mac Layoutįor a long time, I’ve felt that while there are many brilliant icon sets, they are all missing something. The palette used for Zorin is of lighter tones and allows for easy customization of the accent colour. I was very surprised to boot Zorin and be greeted with a level of aesthetic polish that exceeds Pop_OS!, the now-former champion of polish, in my opinion. The only other distributions I had worked with that are not freely distributed are Red Hat and PartedMagic (which I highly recommend, best rescue utility ever), one being enterprise and one being more things that one should attempt to describe in an article about something else. To be honest, what really intrigued me about Zorin was the fact that it has a paid-for version. Zorin could very well be your Grandma’s next Linux distribution. This can be of great value to a newcomer that is unsure how to get started. The team at Zorin offer installation support and have a forum for community support, as well.
But for someone who us just getting into it, everything can be daunting. For a seasoned Linux user with experience and know-how, this might seem unworthwhile.
This is not typical for a consumer Linux distribution (as opposed to an enterprise distribution like Red Hat or SUSE). The Ultimate version comes at a cost (the Core version does not). There is, however, something different about Zorin that many might disagree with.
