One of my Lottery Win dreams would to be to buy a Flagship model from System76, heck if it was a major lottery win, I’d go for the BEST system they can build (laptop and desktop) with AMD processors… It’s hard to put my finger on it right now, why I prefer Pop! over stock Ubuntu - there’s not a huge amount of difference, so it’s not a huge “cultural shift”… I kinda like how it’s nearly EXACTLY the same on my Raspberry Pi4… Not that I want to switch from Pop!_OS - I’m impressed with the three installs of Pop! 22.04 so far - it’s currently my "go to’ distro and probably long term keeper (famous last words - I seem to remember saying something similar about Fedora 36/37 last year). They don’t have 32 bit anymore - but still provide a link to get 15.3 32 bit - which - I already had on my NAS - which I’m going to try on my Samsung N150 Netbook when I can find the diminutive little piece of crap… I just test-drove a ZorinOS install (16.x Pro) in VirtualBox (took a few gos - was surprised to discover a 30 GB VDI was too small!) - but I’m getting there now (bumped it up to 44 GB)… I have installed a AMD5670 graphics card in this machine, I can now get 1920x1080 display setting, really helps this old machine. It could make some user a very nice Linux OS The Zorin Lite XFCE start menu is very much like Vista and W7 start menu. #2 is the size of the / partition, I can remember the days of separate /tmp, /home, / whatever, but Linux, nowdays can be set up with a 20GB / partition for root and a small swap partitions. In other words, this partition is not needed, since Grub2 will still be installed to /dev/sda, for the first stage of the boot sequence. The Gparted partition layout is totally subjective, #1 is the /boot partition, now I am no Grub genius, but I believe this partition was more useful, during the days of Grub Legacy than with Grub2. I do have an old Nvidia graphics card that I may use in this machine, but not today. Their was a thread on Zorin the other day, and all I can say is that Zorin installed without any problems. I had to do some research on Dedoimedo website, after installing grub in the, /boot partition, to get it working properly. This is my partition layout for the install. You can rest assured that 12 is most likely to be coming out this summer - there just is no set date yet - better to have a stable distro than one that fails and damages an OS reputation.Īs for your windows 'animations' just disable these in 'CompizConfig Settings Manager'.Windows Vista Basic and Linux Zorin OS 788×544 46.1 KB Remember a LTS release should be stable in all areas and Ubuntu doesn't always get it right - Zorin aim to get it right each time and sometimes packages may not always be compatible with some releases (e.g., Virtual Box had issues with one of the Zorin releases and the only way round it was to remove the pre-packaged version of Virtual Box and install a later/stable version but this can happen to any distro when 3rd party software changes things and there is no time to make changes to final release due to various timings and other constraints. So basically, Ubuntu releases a 5 year LTS every 2 years and every 6 months Ubuntu releases a development release which can vary between 9 months and 15 to 18 months - the stable elements of dev releases will form part of the LTS update e.g., 12.04 will have had dev releases from 12.10 to produce 12.04.1 and so on. Hi, Long-Term releases of Zorin are roughly in Line with Ubuntu - Ubuntu's first LTS (five years) was with 12.04 (= Zorin 6), then 14.04 (Zorin 9) and now 16.04 (Zorin 12 - when released).
