I do a monthly computer giveaway for my business.
Had a very pleasant phone conversation with this month's winner. He's an older retired guy. Former business owner. He was sick of Windows and started using Linux on his own a couple years ago.
So the computer I will be getting to him will have Linux on it (though he may erase and install his own). He prefers Linux Mint, but wants to try Zorin.

#zorinos : pourquoi cette #distribution #Linux explose depuis la fin de #windows 10 ?
Des millions d’utilisateurs délaissent #windows10 pour #Zorin #OS. C’est une #alternative qui allie simplicité, familiarité et respect de la vie privée. Une migration qui transforme peu à peu Linux en choix évident pour tous ceux qui veulent reprendre le contrôle de leur PC.

Flott å se en artikkel om at folk bytter fra Windows til Linux! https://www.tek.no/nyheter/nyhet/i/m0BWn0/linux-boom-etter-windows-10-slutt
🎉 Zorin OS 18 Hits 2 Million Downloads as Windows Users Drive Growth
「 According to a post on the distribution’s official X account, Zorin OS 18 has reached 2 million downloads in less than 3 months since release, marking the fastest adoption in the project’s history. But what’s even more interesting is the fact that more than three-quarters of those downloads came from Windows users 」
Hi #Linux team - any recommendations for a work desktop computer with the following requirements:
- can do basic research stuff (reading, writing) and also a little bit of basic data analysis (with python or Matlab)
- would run a distribution like #ZorinOS or Mint
- with a Max budget of ~£500 (tax / screen / accessories not included)?
- Ideally buying from this website: https://uk.insight.com/en_GB/shop/category/computing.html
It's for work so I don't think we can go through 2nd hand websites and such to buy this..
Thanks for any suggestions!

Zorin OS, la distribution utilisée depuis 4 ans par Échirolles semble connaître un gain de popularité.
Merci pour l'info, @frederic

@albertcardona ahaa yeah every time I have to log in a new Windows computer at work I am reminded of all the annoying things I progressively had to tick off or uninstall on my own Windows. It's very frustrating. Also, why do they force us to log in to our personal account now, instead of just having a shared account??
Fortunately once you set it up properly it's mostly OK. At least that used to be true for Win10.. The only thing I can't seem to get rid of is the $#@!#% #Copilot which Keeps Coming Back.
That's why I'm giving another try to #Linux now - installed #ZorinOS yesterday and it looks good and feels faster (but I haven't got the WiFi to work.. yet)!

Wow! Just in time for Windows 10 going End of life, Zorin OS releases version 18! With features to make people coming from Windows feel like home, like a similar tiling system and integration with OneDrive, for those who want that.
I'm a big fan of #Zorin! Still, I feel like I should recommend new users go with Mint, because there's more help to find online if you need it… I'm a bit torn. But very happy to see Zorin still doing their great work! https://blog.zorin.com/2025/10/14/zorin-os-18-has-arrived/
It is very unfortunate, though, that Zorin OS 18 is based on the old Gnome 46, according to @omgubuntu.

Gnome 49 was recently released, so 46 is not good. I'm sure there's good reasons, not least of them that they most likely are a very small team with very little money.
If you have some spare cash, and think it's important that more people switch to Linux, you can help make that easier by buying Zorin OS Pro https://zorin.com/os/
