i've used zorin OS core as my daily driver for about 3 years now, it's been extremely stable and it was perfect for a beginner like me in 2018. the only reason I see to buy zorin os is as a donation to the devs

[balardie]

I mean... i've never seen no one before where a Youtuber casually confirms that he pirated a piece of software to review it.

[dangus]

I distinctly remember AMD selling "triple core" CPUs. They were usually quad cores with a single core that didn't pass quality control. Sometimes you could get lucky and unlock the extra core and keep stability.

[ryke_masters]

One thing I believe ZorinOS has (haven't tried it myself yet) that hasn't been mentioned and fits right into the kind of "help for beginners" mentioned at the end, is that if you do something Linux-dumb like try to open a Windows executable, it'll offer a helpful pop-up basically telling you what you're supposed to do, and in some cases even tell you what app you could get from their repository to do what you're trying to do. It probably doesn't cover every use-case, but it's a great touch for beginners coming from Windows.

20:11 Why yes, I have slimmed down my resource usage to 128 gigs at idle. I use several terabytes of RAM under load.

[noideac]

Zorin would probably be good in an enterprise setting where a business wants to move away from windows but has plenty of employees who don't have a clue what Linux even is but just needs to respond to emails and make spreadsheets.

[mjwmontgomery]

i purchased the pro version, and it is amazing. I run a small business, and everything works out of the box. My only bugbear, is that I think WPS office is better than Libra in terms of ease of use.

Zorin is the Linux distro for people who don't know how to computers.
Linux Mint is the the one for people that knew how to use windows, but don't want to spend time relearning everything at once, yet wants it to be really customisable and documented.
Ubuntu is for people who buy Dell laptops, then drop out of school and make the local news.

[BillPenny]

Having the Pro version is actually more of a badge of honor in that it's the flagship as well as you contribute to furthering the project for more shiny sleek goodness.

[orpheustakenvanced]

My man here really just pirated a paid Linux Distro and made a video about. Legend.

[BrockLeyland]

This is actually used on a local government & corporate level. 40$ might not be worth it for an individual, but at a company level it might pay off.

[neolight]

Zorin OS was the second Linux distro I tried after failing with Solus (because I was a noob and didn't even know what a package manager was lol. Solus is really nice.) Just let me say it is wonderful and really stable, it is the #1 Linux distro I show when someone tells me they want to try out Linux.

[merlin-jufu]

I will be trying Zorin Pro and support the $39 fee for the pro version. Developers should get some type of monetary reward for their time and effort.

[everyhandletaken]

Did I just read the comments section of a tech video & not see any haters ?!
Great work everyone! 😀

I had tried Zorin previously as a candidate for less-than-tech-savvy family members & visually it is about as good you could ask for - very clean & friendly.
I'm all for supporting fellow devs & hopefully they receive a decent percentage of users contributing the $39.

[awndolznmowdlzkwndznwua]

I was actually wondering between using mint with user-made custom Windows configs and Zorin OS!!! Thanks for the cool vid!

[crunchyeater]

AMD used to have Phenom X3 processors that were originally quad-core Phenom X4s with one core that just didn't quite meet the spec and being disabled, leaving the chip to be tri-core. 3 cores, 3 threads. I think on some motherboards you could unlock the 4th core and, if it's stable, in effect get a free upgrade to a Phenom X4.

[siltdoctor]

imagine having to pay $40 for a wallpaper

[Hikarmeme]

I figure the main incentive to buy the pro edition is to donate to the developers, and in return you get some quality of life features. Plus the option for a minimal install is still present if you want less packages. Also, I think the broken dark theme on calc could have been fixed by restarting it. Not sure about gnome, but when I switch themes in XFCE, some programs will look broken until they're restarted.

[AirTMZ]

Absolutely love this OS. It helped me to get my 60 year old mum who had been a Mac user for 10 years, and my 60 year old dad who had been a Windows user for who knows how long to switch to this. Zorin connect is a game changer for me, and it impresses everyone I show it too. Zorin OS education and Grid are also really cool. Especially grid. Really looking forward to seeing that release.

[KnuxMaster]

more “just works” distros should use the Anaconda installer rather than Unity when installing.

perhaps it is just because I started the world of Linux on Fedora, but I find the Anaconda installer on Fedora much easier to use, especially when it comes to dual booting.

I give Zorin props for one thing: at least most of the bloatware isn’t default. If you don’t pay for pro, you don’t get the bloatware.
