Zorin os 136/1/2023 I have a real old Acer Travelmate 6493, might for purely masochistic reasons, put Slack on it. ran it for a few years, then found Ubuntu, then BeatrIX, then Mint and now Lite. I cut my teeth on Slackware, back in '99. Summary Files Reviews Support Website Download Latest Version Zorin-OS-15. So yeah, I read the hypre and rave reviews about Zorin, but to me it was just " Meh" and back to Lite. Please download from /os/download As of, this project can be found here.

I can hark back to the early two-thousands and going from Gnome to KDE and thinking " Oooooooooooooooooo! It's sooo pritteeeeeeee!" Then thumping the keyboard in frustration as my resource starved PC sloooooo o o owed dooo oo own. First off, I wasn't impressed by the desktop.
