Episode notes
Polished, Familiar Desktop That Adapts
- Zorin OS 15 is Ubuntu 18.04-based with a highly polished, skinned GNOME that mimics multiple desktop layouts.
- Its Zorin Appearance tool makes switching layouts (Windows, macOS, Unity, GNOME) simple and instantly consistent.
Pay Only For Convenience, Not Necessity
- Choose Core (free) unless you want convenience bundles and official install support from Zorin.
- Install missing apps from repos yourself to avoid paying for the Ultimate convenience bundle.
Gaming Ready Out Of The Box
- Zorin includes the proprietary NVIDIA driver on the ISO and auto-installs Vulkan/Wine dependencies when you install Steam or Lutris.
- That reduces manual setup for gaming compared with many other distros.
