Never cared for Zorin's inability to update from one release to another in place. Got way too many apps and custom configuration to re-install every time a new release comes out.
I tried Zorin, even paid for the pro version, which is simply a distro with added bloat, repackaged from free software to sometimes look like their own. I was impressed by the clean stock look, but it's pretty limited in terms of customisation. Just go to Linux Mint. Much bigger community and therefore support and let's you customise it a lot more. It's also lighter imo and more stable, although stable is always subjective.
Did they finally switched to pipewire?
Wtf. He downloaded discord.exe to show it works with a windows installer and then got linked to flathub and installed discord flatpak image. But still thinks he installed windows-version?
I think he was trying to demonstrate for new users that it would redirect them to use the appropriate installer instead of relying on .exe files?
yes, that's right
WHERE IS ZORIN GRID
Does it work on the Mac's M1 processor?
Sadly no, according to their wiki:
Mac computers with Apple silicon processors are not currently capable of running Zorin OS natively. However, you may be able to use an app called UTM to run Zorin OS in a virtual machine on Mac computers with Apple silicon processors.
Running x86_64 emulation on an ARM CPU is a miserable experience and should be avoided. I've done this on an M-series Mac with UTM, and you're looking at ~10-minute boot times just to get the VM booted, and ~3 minutes for it to render a response to whatever you click.
It's honestly wild that they seriously suggest doing this on their Wiki.
Thank you!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
