Here a nice promotion video that shows some key features of Zorin OS. Thus this release of Zorin OS will be supported until April 2023. This version is based on Ubuntu Bionic Beaver 18.04.2 LTS with release date April 26, 2018. The most recent version of Zorin OS is 15.1 which was released on December 12, 2019. Next to that Zorin OS itself comes with interim updates with new functionalities and improvements, but always based on the stable LTS Ubuntu releases. LTS releases receive 5 years of support and security updates.

In order to do that, Zorin OS is always based on what is called an Ubuntu based LTS, or Long Term Support release. Unlike many other distributions, the Zorin OS developers focus on absolute reliability and stability and consciously choose not to be a leader in all bleeding edge developments.

I am very enthusiastic about Zorin OS so I am really excited that yesterday the Zorin team released Zorin OS 15.1. I really lost my heart to this distribution because it looks fantastic, can be visually set up via simple adjustments to appeal both Windows and macOS users, offers a lot of robust functionality that is already present after installation, has nice integration with your mobile device and offers many user-friendly and health friendly functionalities which makes this distribution rise above others. But there is another easily accessible, friendly and beautiful Linux distribution that will appeal not only to former Windows users but to former macOS users as well, and that has some great special features that Linux Mint doesn’t offer straight out of the box. And while Linux Mint was my favorite distro for a couple of years and I think it is still a great distribution, I feel that it mainly pleases former Windows users due to the chosen UI design language and way of working. Linux Mint makes it more easy for beginners to make the switch compared to other Linux distributions. The reason was that the Linux Mint distribution is very newbie friendly but also good for professional use, incredibly easy to install and setup and many important and useful functionalities are already available out-of-the-box. I made my first steps in the Linux world hand in hand with my good old friend Linux Mint.
