Zorin : An Ubuntu Based Modern OS

Mahesh Palamuttath June 13, 2019

Zorin OS is a personal computer operating system based on Ubuntu. It is marketed as an operating system designed for users new to Linux-based computer systems. One of the operating system's built-in features allows users to change the interface to resemble those of Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X It also comes bundled with Wine and PlayOnLinux allowing users to run Windows software for ease of transition and gaming. Zorin OS' creators distribute different versions of the operating system; three of the versions, an "Ultimate" , an "Education" and a "Business" version, are for purchase.
Its current releases are Zorin OS 15 Ultimate, and Zorin OS 15 Core. The new editions continue to use the Debian-based Linux kernel and GNOME interface. It is so fast and modern looking and compatible for installing Koha & DSpace as well.
