What is Zorin OS?
Zorin OS is a user-friendly Linux operating system that looks and feels familiar to Windows or macOS, runs fast on older hardware, and keeps your data private. It’s perfect for reviving old PCs/Macs or avoiding upgrade headaches.
Why choose Zorin OS?
- Speed boost: Lighter than Windows; boots fast and stays snappy even on HDDs.
- Security & privacy: Built-in Linux security model; minimal telemetry.
- Looks how you want: Choose a layout that mimics Windows or macOS so it feels natural immediately.
- Software your way: Zorin App Store, plus Flatpak, Snap, and apt repos.
- Great on old hardware: Bring life back to machines that struggle with newer Windows versions.
- Low maintenance: Simple updates; no naggy forced restarts.
Can I do what I did on Windows or Mac?
- Web & email: Chrome/Chromium, Firefox, Brave, Thunderbird.
- Office: LibreOffice (Word/Excel/PowerPoint compatible), OnlyOffice; Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace in the browser.
- Media: VLC, Plex client/server, Spotify.
- Photos & design: GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Darktable.
- Gaming: Steam with Proton, Lutris, retro emulators (hardware permitting).
- Windows apps: Many run via Wine/Bottles; we test your needs and suggest native alternatives if better.
