Compared to some other options available, it offers a nice user experience overall. + +And, which is why, we also recommend it as [one of the top choices for new users][2]. Here, I shall highlight some of the reasons that make it an ideal pick for beginners. + +### 1\. Windows-like User Interface + +![][3] + +Most of the users new to Linux switch away from Windows (considering its user base). + +If you have already used any [popular Linux distributions][4], you should not have an issue switching away to anything else. + +However, if you are entirely new to Linux, the more familiar the user interface, the more comfortable you will be. + +[Zorin OS][5] is one of the many [Windows-like Linux distributions][6] where you can find a menu/layout similar to the Start menu/Taskbar on Windows 10 and 11. + +![Zorin OS Windows 11 Layout][3] + +The Windows 11 layout is limited to its Pro edition only (which we will discuss later below). + +### 2\. Fantastic User Experience + +Zorin OS offers a unique and polished look compared to distributions like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, etc. + +The icons, animation effects, and overall visuals (along with available wallpapers) look stunning and perfectly fit any modern system. + +![][7] + +It includes essential apps to give you a head start and makes it easy for you to [install Windows software on Linux][8] (if you do not find it on the Software Center). + +![][9] + +In my time with Zorin OS, I never encountered an error and did not need to use the terminal to get things done. So, I would say that it offers a user-friendly experience. + +While [my daily driver is Pop!_OS][10], switching away to Zorin OS was a refreshing experience at times. + +I have yet to try [Zorin OS][5] on my dual-monitor setup and share my experiences; you could expect an article on that soon. + +### 3\. Based on Ubuntu + +![][11] + +[Ubuntu][12] is the most popular Linux distribution for its ease of use and modern approach to design. + +While it offers an entirely different user experience, it supports a massive collection of software and is compatible with most hardware configurations. + +Zorin OS is built on top of Ubuntu to provide you with the same benefits here, with a tweaked user interface and other things. + +Being one of the Ubuntu-based Linux distributions, Zorin OS is certainly a recommendation for beginners. + +### 4\. Pro Edition + +One of the [benefits of using Linux][13] over Windows is that you can install and distribute it for free on any number of systems. + +You do not need to purchase a license for it. However, Zorin OS offers an [**optional** “**Pro**” edition][14] available for a one-time fee of about **$39**. + +The Pro edition offers additional wallpapers, layouts (like macOS, as shown in the image above), and bundled software for creativity and productivity. Fret not; all the software included is free and open-source. + +![][3] + +So, with this offering, they give you a better out-of-the-box experience and some additional features while you support them for its future development. + +### 5\. Easy on System Resources for Older Computers + +Unlike some other options, Zorin OS offers a separate [“Lite” edition][15] powered by the XFCE desktop environment. + +The lite edition is tailored to run on older computers with minimal resource usage. + +If you are looking to breathe life into your old computer, or just want minimum resource consumption on your computer, Zorin OS Lite can be a great choice. + +[Get Zorin OS][5] + +### Wrapping Up + +In addition to the points mentioned above, Zorin OS also offers an education edition tailored for schools, students, and teachers. + +If you get started using Zorin OS, it will come in handy with different use-cases, no matter your requirements. I think it should be a perfect candidate for beginners. + +You are welcome to share your thoughts in the comments down below. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/why-zorin-os-beginners/ + +作者:[Ankush Das][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/ +[2]: https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-beginners/ +[3]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjQzOSIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[4]: https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-distributions/ +[5]: https://zorin.com/os/ +[6]: https://itsfoss.com/windows-like-linux-distributions/ +[7]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjUyMSIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[8]: https://itsfoss.com/use-windows-applications-linux/ +[9]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjM2MSIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[10]: https://itsfoss.com/why-use-pop-os/ +[11]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjQ2OCIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[12]: https://itsfoss.com/getting-started-with-ubuntu/ +[13]: https://itsfoss.com/linux-better-than-windows/ +[14]: https://zorin.com/os/pro/ +[15]: https://news.itsfoss.com/zorin-os-16-lite-release/
