Zorin OS Is the Alternative to Windows and macOS
- m-p-3 7y agoI always thought ZorinOS was a chinese-made distro because of the name, it's actually made by a group in Ireland.
- forgotpwd16 7y agoIt is a Linux distro offering an interface that looks like Windows and macOS. It is as much an alternative as Ubuntu is.
- botto 7y agoFreeBSD is also an alternative to Windows and macOS
- thewolfpeach 7y agoWhat can be said about Zorin OS that can't be said about dozens of other Linux distros? Edit: Why was this downvoted?
- m-p-3 7y agoI guess the emphasis on aesthetics, which seems to go for a Windows-like look and ease of use. I personally prefer Elementary, but anything that makes it simple and secure to use is a win for Linux.
- kwhitefoot 7y ago> .. full Microsoft Office-compatible office suite .. Really? Seems unlikely unless they are restricting the meaning of compatibility to exclude scripting. If someone would produce an Excel compatible spreadsheet that executed Excel VBA that would be a real achievement.
- kayamon 7y agoThey’re probably just bundling OpenOffice. It’s just another Linux distro based off Ubuntu, nothing new here.
- dr_kiszonka 7y agoFrom what I have read, they have really simplified moving to Linux for those who don't want to spend time tinkering, e.g., they make installing Nvidia drivers for games very easy. You are right about office - they bundle Libre Office with Zorin. If there was a Linux distro with seamless support of Office 365, I would gladly pay for it.
