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.

🎉 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 ｣

Any #Linux users know #ZorinOS ?

I'm really interested in the easy to use for windows users part of it

Edit: I'm not tech savvy at all, but I'd like to ditch Windows and Google-off-my-Android and Zorin seems like something I can do without bricking everything I own

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!

@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)!

It is very unfortunate, though, that Zorin OS 18 is based on the old Gnome 46, according to @omgubuntu.

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/10/zorin-os-18-released-with-new-look-new-apps-more

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/
