When I switched over to ZorinOS Lite, I'm aware that the "Appearance" GUI from xfce is available. However, Mint's settings are alot more cluttered - spread across multiple apps.ĭo note I only made this assumption due my understanding of the theming settings in ZorinOS Core. But Linux Mint has more of these exposed in a GUI (theme section completely exposed in flagship cinnamon). Of course everyone is free to modify ZorinOS outside of the sandboxed settings, by installing third party software or using terminal. Due to this "sandboxed" feeling, it makes it really easy to change them to see how the users see fit, and the settings are very organized. Almost everything are under the Settings app, similar to how mobile (both Android & iOS) handles their settings. Also, the settings in ZorinOS Core have a very "sandboxed" feels. Compared to Linux Mint, which looks really dated. The default gnome customization, themes and icons are really beautiful and modern looking. In my opinion, this is quite apparent in Core 16. A fast, stable, secure, friendly and modern alternative to the big consumer OSes (Windows & Mac)Īnd what (in my opinion) ZorinOS is NOT trying to be:.Also this post is just my personal fun, naive and shallow opinion, so please do not harbour any strong feelingsĪfter using ZorinOS for awhile, here's my naive impression on what I think ZorinOS developer wants to achieve: While Windows 10 LTSC is an option, I'm pretty skeptical about its security (only an update every 2 years?) and well, Linux is free, Windows LTSC isn't.ĭisclaimer: I've only used ZorinOS Core & Lite for about a week in vmware, so feel free to correct me on where I am wrong about. The main motivation is due to a cousin of mine having a really slow laptop, and I would like to breathe it to life. I'm currently a newbie Linux Mint 20.2 user (tinkered for many years, but only made the switch last month), and have been testing out ZorinOS (Core 16 & Lite 15.3).
