Why are there rocks and hamburger menus on my screen?
Are these people serious?
So it can't run Windows applications out of the box. What's the point then. I've got to run Sony Vegas.
I bet Windows Network file sharing don't run right out of the box either.

Started with Zorin Core two years ago because of its commercial grade design and style. Tried a dozen distros on Ventoy and see no reason to switch.
@Berg085 Says:
I really want to try Zorin out, but don't have a great device to put it on... I bought a small Acer laptop, but I think some of the hardware was a bit too new for the kernel zorin was using, due to having some very strange issues with some of the hardware. Currently trolling ebay for a 10th or 11th gen laptop to pick up for cheap to play with.
@usarwuan8663 Says:
I would REALLY like to try Zorin. I would love to escape from Windows. Etcher won't etch. and Rufus turns out a bootable drive that won't start. Looks like the Zorin engineers went to 17.1 after you made this successful video with 17. I'm a noob at linux so the really simple stuff should be reaally simple. Anything else I might try?
@IraQNid Says:
This is useful for people who can't afford a Windows 11 Pro PC before the October 202 deadline to switch from Windows 10 to 11. With a dual boot option, this would be a cool way to keep using my current Windows 10 Home and pro PCs while still retaining safe Internet usage under Zorin or similar Linux Operating Systems.
@choppergirlfpv Says:
I wish I could get Windows 7 or XP to run on my Ryzen 7950x with 128gb
I would dwmp Windows 10 in a heartbeat. Never running 11. Linux still isn't there yet.
Which leaves me in a pickle of using Windows 10 for the next 20 years or as long as I can hold out.
I had it dual booting to Zorin 16 but that distro install went pear shaped on me and things started breaking.
@markreif1 Says:
Does anyone have link to a dual boot install Zoran 17 and windows 10 with ALL the steps necessary covered?
@Chaosxinc Says:
Just got around to trying Zorin OS yesterday. I remember you talking about a few years ago, but went with Linux Mint and standard Ubuntu. I like Linux Mint a lot, but after just trying Zorin OS, I love it, it's perfect. Will definitely be getting the pro version down the road. It runs Steam games a lot better than standard Ubuntu did plus it comes with Nvidia drivers preinstalled. I think that was the biggest issue. The PlayOnLinux app works great too and even runs in full screen, I think not having Nvidia drivers installed on Ubuntu was perhaps causing everything to be in a small window.
@ValhallaDxD Says:
This is really good ❤❤
@Wol747 Says:
I’m sure that many - like me - are leery of going hardcore Linux because they have lrgacy Windows programs with years of data which are essential to keep using. Micro$oft Money is one of the- a simple but brilliant progra.
Can uou do a simple video showing how these can be run, because the method seems opaque. Please!
@louaguado995 Says:
Why not use Ventoy instead of Etcher?
@linuxrant Says:
I kinda like it to be called, the LITE version, the CORE version and the THANK YOU version...
@FrankieWellman Says:
Great review of Zorin OS. By the way the "g" in gnome is silent, you pronounce it "nome" 😁
@chris-terrell-liveactive Says:
Thank you for this, I'll give it a try as I want to move from windows but haven't got the time for a steep learning curve so this looks a very practical option at this stage. Bonus that it's developed in Ireland too... come on Scotland, where are our developers??? :D
@theadoresmith2777 Says:
I quite like 17 ... its more like a tarted up ubuntu ... kind of the ubuntu I wish ubuntu should have been.
@RobGibbonsW Says:
If you like Zorin OS, or use it on a work machine, consider paying for the Pro edition. Think of it purely as a donation with some extra rewards thrown in, since the Pro edition is truly just a way to support the developers behind Zorin. Of course, you're not limited in any way if you choose not to go Pro, you just don't get all of the desktop themes available.
Personally, I use Zorin OS Pro on three different machines, both as a daily driver and for software development, so $39 every two years (each major LTS release) is worth it to me personally, to support these developers, helping them to continue their work. I encourage anyone who has the means to support the developers behind their favorite open source software.
@ManasBharat Says:
Looking forward to the Garuda OS video!
@paulfaruga Says:
Hi mate. Being a 73 Yr old numpty who has only ever used windows I have found this to be extremely helpful. Its a shame I can only put one thumbs up on it as I must have watched it about 20 times already as I fully intend, in the future, to fully migrate to this system. Thank you once again.😊
@user-qw4oe7eb3y Says:
Because I had two failed attempts before successfully installing Zorin 17 Pro, I had two annoying extra links in my GRUB that did not work. After upgrading Zorin 17 Pro recently, the two extra links disappeared, and now, I only have Zorin 17 Pro or Windows 10 options. Thank you for your regular YouTube productions. 73, Ian
@peterbreis5407 Says:
I like Zorin OS Pro but the full price upgrade to v17 is not worth it for me. It's just a hobby and not useful, just like my Chromebook.
@chrisanckaert Says:
Hi Christopher, I have an older (2014) MacBook Air on which I wanted to install either Ubuntu or LinuxMint. I tried both and both had the same problem, wifi didn't work. Not surprising as Mint is based on Ubuntu of course. I went to both websites and although both had several workarounds, nothing worked. Then I remembered the excellent video about Zorin OS, and I downloaded and installed version 17. And this time, everything worked immediately right after the installation. As the MacBook Air has an i7 processor and 8 GB ram it works absolutely flawlessly. Even Youtube in HD fullscreen without any dropped frames. Very happy with Zorin!
@rickythebguy5997 Says:
Hey Chris,
I've upgraded my Zorin OS 16.3 to 17 last month, but I face a potential bug that disturb me and my PC a lot -- I lose my connection to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth even if both the WiFi and Bluetooth sources are in best performance _(tried and tested),_ but it seems like there's a patch that can't even withstand such connections for longer durations and I've to reboot or restart my Laptop to regain that.
IDK why it's going on like this, but It's on a 2017 Windows 10 Laptop with Intel core i3 6th gen.
Not so happy with that particular version of Zorin OS _(or maybe the device otherwise)._

how is it less requirements than 16 lite if 17 is gnome DE and lite is xfce

4:39 what a f ing pain in the ass Nvidia is, wasting developer time to get their filthy proprietary garbage working.
@rodsco357 Says:
I have 4 ssd drive on my PC . I want to install Zorin on the 4th drive, if I select erase disk , will it give me an option to select the 4th drive ? I really don't want to use manual partition install.
As always great videos!
@JayGaines5150 Says:
Great video, a video comparing Mint vs Zorin would be nice.
@CA-1954 Says:
Looks like both Linux Mint and Zorin is from Ireland.

Having a problem with my 2nd HDD I formatted it because it was NFTS from windows but I cant seem to write on it now or make any folder etc now using it with Linux

If Linux was able to support all types of VR head sets including window mixed reality then i would make the switch today.

What’s your pc specs
@colinmscott Says:
I have tried out loads of different operating systems and Zorin is my current favourite. I have done a full install an an older laptop and also installed it onto a 256Gb USB stick to use as a portable system. As well as all the linux stuff I like also being able to run both windows and android apps using wine and waydroid.
@xtopherxy Says:
Thank you for using dark mode. I literally was not going to watch the video. But you did, and so I watched :)
@ascott7321 Says:
What's nice is that full desktop color calibration works in this distro. My wide gamut monitor is automatically calibrated to sRGB on default.
@Ciborium Says:
Why Zorin OS and not just Ubuntu? And how is this a Linux for Windows users if it isn't Windows and doesn't run Windows apps and games?
@saintsandsin3885 Says:
Chris, I have been toying around with Linux because of the coming end to Windows 10 support. One thing that is very confusing to me is how to add hard drives in Linux. It's so easy in Windows I can not wrap my head around how to mount a hard drive so that it mounts every time your reboot. To me this is one of the biggest reason why I'm having a mental block to making the switch.
@jimjol9069 Says:
Wow. Linux has come a long way. I used it about 20 years ago to run some apps that were only available on linux. Splat, a vhf propagation predictor, and Ethereal, now Wireshark. This was on a SUSE distro. It was very difficult to work with for a Windows user. I loaded Zorin 17 last week and was up and running instantly. Well, almost instantly. I am truly impressed. Thanks for your help and encouragement. I now have a tired old Lenovo running like new.
@Bertminator Says:
What about Steam games? Do they install just like in windows? Also, is it possible to install any Microsoft software like Office?
@vendetta.02 Says:
Sadly ZorinOS uses snap. I think we should be steering new users away from snap usage as they may be unaware of the issues with snap.
For those who are unaware, snap is a proprietary package format created by Canonical and used by Ubuntu and ZorinOS, the back-end is fully closed source and controlled by a greedy corporation known as Canonical (the creators of Ubuntu), Canonical is pushing snap onto end users to create a closed app ecosystem which is fully controlled by Canonical in an attempt to create a closed-off ecosystem (similar to the apple ecosystem) which is locked off from end users.
We should be supporting flatpak instead, which is an open package format which has a strong community and lots of official package support from the first-party devs of the application, and it's an open app ecosystem more similar to f-droid on android in the sense of being able to add extra repos and the openness of the main repo.
I recommend new users use Linux Mint instead of ZorinOS for this reason, Linux Mint ships no snap out of the box and flatpak by default.
@Priscilla.H Says:
I also changed recently the OS of my PC and it runs much faster and more safe than currently i used. Thanks to my tech genius dad that we both discovered this hidden gem.
@thundertears Says:
im wandering will zorin os work with steam gaming?
@varniitprofessional Says:
Thanks for walk through. I have used Zorin OS several times but only as alternatively. And I have it installed it as bootable USB on a standby if anything happens to W10 or if I want to use Linux to fresh myself up after windows bloatware experience. My only reason of not using Zorin OS or any other distro I have used like elementary OS and Mint OS fully is lack of TTS support which W10 has inbuilt with voices, difficulty in installing apps and uninstalling the ones that are installed and storage structure and hierarchy and support for my office related apps and apps that I am using for years (not games). And most importantly, lack of android emulator support within Linux like windows has with bluestacks.
