However, Zorin OS touches all my needs and I am very happy that we are being spoiled with this Beta version as a look into the near future at what will hopefully be released sometime next summer. I have a big place in my heart for elementary OS, but there are a few things there that limit me. Of course everything is relative and very personal, but as a lover of simplicity and minimalist design you will be pleasantly surprised when you open a distribution like elementary OS or Zorin OS for the first time. But gradually I started to look at other distributions and I saw that the teams behind elementary OS and also Zorin OS, for example, had in my humble opinion a better eye for good integration of functionalities, for the power of minimalism in the user interface and for the logical connection to natural workflows. Linux Mint was a distribution at the time that made the switch easy for many. My personal Linux journey started, like for many of us, with Linux Mint. But what you probably don’t know is that in the background Zorin OS has been my daily driver on my production machine for quite some time and since then this distribution has become my absolute favorite.
IntroductionĪs many of you probably know, Zorin OS has been in my list of most valued Linux distributions for quite some time now and I love to write about it. So, here is a first look at what is new in Zorin OS 16 Beta. But this week I finally received the fantastic news that the beta version of my favorite Linux distribution is available, so I couldn’t resist downloading and installing Zorin OS 16 Beta immediately and giving my first impression. Zorin OS 15.3 was powered by the 5.4 kernel, it had performance, stability, and security improvements, support for more hardware, and the latest security patches. But at that time Ubuntu itself was of course already on 20.04, so intuitively that felt like outdated technology for many users, even though this update contained a lot of new technology. The last update of Zorin OS in September 2020 was 15.3, which was still based on the older Ubuntu 18.04, but focused on strengthening the core essentials of the operating system.
There were many rumors about the expected release date and of course about what the latest Zorin OS would have to offer. In recent months the Zorin OS community has started to get more nervous by the day about news from the Zorin OS development team.
