Hey yall, for the past few weeks I have been encountering many issues in fedora linux gnome, ik that is super odd and many people are gonna kill me, I have detailed post for that in fedora community so pls read that if you want to know more bro, so I found this distro matching my conditions, like my conditions is stability( stuff should work) I cannot spend time on fixing simple stuff and all I want things to work, Mint and Ubuntu are also a good option indeed, but this seems too, and also it looks great and I am also a gamer and ofc a programmer and all those works fine as I came to know, but ofc I want a human review and advice on what to do, I believe yall can help me out, btw if you are intending to genuinely show humanity and kindness / help then only comment, I am a normal human so I don't like negative comments.

Switched from Windows to Zorin earlier this year, loved it, everything worked fine. Lately though it keeps dumping me offline after a little while, can only reconnect after restarting the laptop. Then it dumps me again after a little while. Over and over!

Have looked up fixes using terminal, tried to apply them, I type the suggested commands into the terminal, but don't know how to get it to make the suggested settings changes, nothing happens. Help! Would hate to have to go back to Windows...

I have a dell laptop and I'm using zorin for a couple of months, been great so far. But I haven't touched the PC for some weeks, this week I turn it on and updated everything, and the programs I use are having a lot of trouble and bugs, the same programs and versions I was using before, and the PC feels very laggy

So I updated my zorinOS and apparently I cant connect to my hotspot anymore that requires a password

Edit: To be more specific when I tried to connect to my phone hotspot in Zorin it keeps asking for the password. I tried forgetting it, deleting it from saved networks, restarting and stuff and it still wont work. Same thing happened when I tried entering WIFIs that use username and password login

I installed Zorin 18.1 Lite on my Dell Latitude 3120 4 GB RAM with Intel Celeron N5100 Processor yesterday. It was working fine at the start and I didn't messed anything. And now I'm stuck at the booting screen with the Zorin logo still glowing as I had to reinstall it every time to fix it and get the same issue again. Is there's a way to make it run normal again?

So today, like normal upon starting my PC, I did the usual terminal updates. I’ve had Zorin for about a month, and upon initial install, had to do some messing around to get my GPU to work. Once I did that, updating & upgrading caused no harm. But today, after doing it, completely removed my dGPU from being recognized.

So I had to reinstall the original version (18.1) that I started with a month ago, and repeat the original steps to get my GPU to work. I’m assuming they came out with some major upgrade that would have caused this?

My question is, how long will it take for the newest Zorin update to be compatible with the Nvidia drivers so that doesn’t happen again?

(For anyone who cares, I’m running a GeForce RTX 5060)

Thank you for assisting. Loving this OS so far.

When I open video files, there is no audio, even after installing another player like VLC. Curiously, the audio works fine on YouTube. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is what it shows. My C drive has be partitioned For windows and Zorin dual boot. But Zorin not detecting. Intel VMD, AHCI is on, Fast Startup is off, secure boot is off

I actually bought the Pro version recently and played with it for a bit because I wanted to learn Linux and get away from the Microsoft Spyware. I liked that everything just works, but the Pro version came with a lot of software I am probably never going to use, limited ricing ability, and didn't really allow me to learn how to build my system.

Later, I actually went to Void Linux because I wanted the freedom to build my sandbox from scratch and REALLY learn the way Linux works, even though I knew it would be a challenge as a new user. I also liked that Void is its own thing and not a fork of a fork. Now I am finding that I am spending hours getting services to link and run, configuring files, and downloading appimages that won't execute. I am spending my precious time working on my system for simple things rather than getting work done.

So, is there anyone in this community who can tell me that they have been using Zorin for a long while and that is more intermediate to power user friendly than what others are saying? Does it feel more locked down than other distributions? Can one become more than a casual user on ZorinOS?

I seem to have lost a bunch of FPS by switching from 17 to 18. Do you guys experience the same thing ?

My specs :

Intel Xeon E3-1245 @ 3.5Ghz

16 Gb RAM

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

I was thinking about picking up one of those small dell workstation PCs, throwing a large hard drive/SSD in, a version of Zorin(lite maybe?) and jellyfin, then uploading all my current and future tv shows and movies to it. However I don't know if Zorin is the best option for this, I use zorin as my daily driver for my desktop and my streaming laptop that I leave in my living room. I figure it would be easy enough to setup as a local server but I'd be worried about the PC just being too slow. Right now I'm just brainstorming.

Fwiw Zorin is the only Linux distro I've used so far

I was hoping I wouldn't have to make my own post but I'm at my wit's end. Zorin was supposed to be an easy start with my Linux journey as I'm very green so please be patient with me. I just installed it today and started settling in. I've scoured other threads but I can't seem to get it fixed, or can't understand what is being advised.

First of all, the freezes happen after I use the PC for a bit. I just have Firefox open on Youtube and reading some threads, Steam and Discord for chat, browsing the software. Nothing crazy intensive.

First my main screen freezes, but my second screen which is a pen display/graphic tablet keeps working. Then the tablet freezes, youtube audio keeps playing for a while and then it stops, too. I'm able to reboot using the REISUB command.

I have swapped to Xorg, changed the Nvidia driver to "metapackage from nvidia-driver-580 (proprietary)", and have previously tried a few others. Checked for updates and installed all available ones. I have turned off WiFi and any power saving options. Also disabled hardware acceleration on Firefox. Both my screens in display settings are set to 60 Hz. Swap size seems to be 1.9G, if I'm checking it correctly.

EDIT: seems like I got it under control. Unsure what exactly fixed it, I think yet another Nvidia drivers made the difference

Hello, I'm a longtime Windows user and I want to move to Zorin OS. My PC is Dell Latitude 3120 with 4 GB of Ram, Intel Celeron N5100 Processor with a UHD Graphics Card installed and I need help on how to install it.

So, my father had a Toshiba Portege R830 lying around at his place, and he decided to let me do whatever with it, so I decided to install Zorin OS to replace Windows, as it was a bit slow cause the laptop was made in 2011, and I think it has done it for the better! But yeah, while it is good, I'm mainly using it for looking through the internet, watchin stuff on DVD cause this has a DVD drive and other shenanigans. Also, like the theme? I decided to make it to my own likings, so it's like a fusion of Mac and Windows, and also having the Earthbound font as well.

The Battery health is excellent according to bios

Aside from the usual "These apps don't run" discussion, what are the actual OS-specific features that isnt in Zorin? I'm talking about things like the equivalents of Windows Hello, Device Manager, Event Viewer etc.

Anyone successfully running waydroid? I just installed Zorin for the first time yesterday and am quite impressed. I’m a Linux sysadmin with most experience in RHEL in an enterprise environment… so I can get around pretty easily. Waydroid will pop up a black screen and crash… it goes into a loop of this until I kill it.

Hi. Have an issue with Zorin 18, as soon I lock the screen it goes black, after I press a key or move the cursor it goes back to the login screen but the wallpaper doesnt remain, the screen goes black after 30 seconds. Someone ele encountered this issue?

Hi everyone. I'm new to Linux and want to know if there are ways to customize my desktop ala W11 w/Rainmeter. Thank you in advance.

Hello guys, I'm new to zorin and linux in general, coming from windows i just wiped the drive and installed zorin hoping for the best.

I'm advanced good at windows stuff but i have 0 reference, knowledge or baseline for linux.

Please share any guides for beginners coming from windows, to help with the transition.

I used to play light games like counter strike so point me to where i can download good games, i also like configure advanced power and system stuff.

Config is 1334U/2x8GB/512NVMe just in case it's relevant Thank you

as the title says, I just got zorin, and know next to nothing about it. I tried installing nordvpn through the software app that zorin comes with, but when I open it it just opens as a white box. when I move the box I can vaguely see some text saying something's wrong when I drag the window back and forth, but that's it. I tried uninstalling and getting the download straight from the nord website, but everytime I try to go to the downloads page it acts like I haven't logged into my account and starts badgering me about plans despite already having one. any advice?
