Zorin OS 16 is a Visual Spectacle! You Can Download This New Linux Release Right Now
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 16, one of the most anticipated Linux distros, based on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, has arrived.
|
||||
|
||||
With the latest release, they now offer a new “Pro” edition replacing the “Ultimate” edition that comes loaded with a few applications pre-installed and a couple of extra layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover, you get technical support for installation if you get the Zorin OS 16 Pro to support the developers.
|
||||
|
||||
The base edition is Zorin OS 16 “Core,” is free, which includes all the essentials.
|
||||
|
||||
In this article, I shall highlight the key new additions along with my initial impressions of Zorin OS 16.
|
||||
|
||||
### Zorin OS 16: What’s New?
|
||||
|
||||
Zorin OS 16 may not be as big of an upgrade compared to [elementary OS 6][1], but there are significant improvements across the board. Let us take a look at them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Refined User Interface
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The user interface remains familiar, but they have revamped the default theme and worked on the animations to present a polished look.
|
||||
|
||||
Subtle differences to the default transparency setting, theme, icons, and animations impact the overall user experience.
|
||||
|
||||
While you can notice the differences with Zorin OS 16 Core, the Pro edition takes it up a notch with the stunning new wallpapers and premium layouts available out-of-the-box.
|
||||
|
||||
### Flatpak Enabled
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, Zorin OS supported snap right out of the box with its Software center. Now, with Zorin OS 16, Flathub has been enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
So, you can find plenty of applications available, including Flatpak packages in the Software manager.
|
||||
|
||||
You can even select a different package (if it is available) from the dropdown menu available in the top-right corner (as shown in the screenshot above).
|
||||
|
||||
### Improved Tour Screen
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
They have also revamped their welcome screen to help you set up all the important things right from the start.
|
||||
|
||||
You get to configure online accounts, connect your smartphone with Zorin Connect, and get a head start on the available layouts to choose from.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows 11-like Layout
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
In my previous [Zorin OS 16 beta][5] coverage, I mentioned a potential Windows 10X-like layout was in the works.
|
||||
|
||||
Considering that Windows 10X no longer exists, the new layout is an alternative to Windows 11 experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Do note that you need to purchase the Zorin OS 16 Pro if you want to access Windows 11-like layout on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
### New Touchpad Gestures
|
||||
|
||||
For laptop or touchpad users, you can now swipe up/down with four fingers to move between workspaces and pinch using three fingers to open the activities overview.
|
||||
|
||||
### New Sound Recorder App
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
A clean sound recording app to help you quickly record voice notes or podcasts without worrying about 3rd party applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Even though I don’t have a figure, I observed some noticeable performance improvements compared to my experience with Zorin OS 15.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, switching between different layouts is an entirely seamless experience.
|
||||
|
||||
As a side note, I tested Zorin OS 16 Pro on my desktop with **i5-7400, 16 GB RAM,** and **a GTX 1050ti** graphics card.
|
||||
|
||||
I always have my doubts when it comes to Nvidia driver compatibility. But it worked like a charm.
|
||||
|
||||
The boot menu when installing Zorin OS 16 offered a different option for modern NVIDIA drivers, which is what I chose to install.
|
||||
|
||||
So, yes, **Zorin OS 16’s ISO comes with Nvidia driver support out-of-the-box.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
There are several other additions to the animation, customization settings, and more with Zorin OS 16. Some of them are:
|
||||
|
||||
* Jelly mode to enable a macOS-like animation when minimizing or opening applications.
|
||||
* Improved taskbar
|
||||
* Introduction of fractional scaling
|
||||
* Active directory domain option in the installer
|
||||
* New photos app
|
||||
* Disabled telemetry and tracking in Firefox browser for better privacy
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Get Zorin OS 16
|
||||
|
||||
You can download Zorin OS 16 Core for free. If you opt for the Pro edition at **$39**, you also get access to a Pro-lite edition, which will be available to install for old computers.
|
||||
|
||||
The free lite edition and the pro lite version is not yet available and should be coming soon.
