Because all my documents are there. After successfully integrating OneDrive into Nautilus File Explorer with ease in Zorin, I'm now even more captivated by the beautiful sound thanks to EasyEffect, the smoothness of playing my collection of games with Steam + Proton GE without the tearing and stutter that usually occur in Windows. And my Intel AX200 chip is now more stable at 5GHz with an 80MHz bandwidth. If there's anything missing, it's the lack of native Microsoft Office 365. But that's not a weakness of Linux/Zorin, it's just that Microsoft doesn't want to support it. If they wanted to, they could, as evidenced by Microsoft SQL Server running natively on Linux.

Heck even windows apps run better on it out of the box... I love it how all app windows look the same and unlike many other distros where app windows look all different and cant be themed because if it. Also scales beautiful out of the box on hdpi screens. Also Bluetooth works and wifi without issues, in many distros like Catchy and Manjaro Bluetooth for some devices had to be reconfigured after reboot. I was cross compiling some windows executables on Zorin and tested them with Wine, after my app was finished i wanted to test it on actual Windows and to my surprise my app which does some data processing ran 10x slower in actual windows vs using wine in Zorin.

Much faster, no HDD churning. Formerly long time Windows user (from before Win3.11 over DOS 6.22 and MSDOS 4.0). Did initial research on Youtube & Net. Decided on a dual boot Zorin/Win11 machine to start. Produced the boot stick with Zorin 18.0R3 Distro. Partitioned 150MB of HDD for Zorin ahead of time. Disabled Win11 Bitlocker. Ran Zorin OS before full install, got it right away. Did full install. Boots fast on my AMD Ryzen 7000 & AMD Radeon graphics low end HP laptop. Was this review helpful?
