The Zorin OS 15 series, released last week in beta, introduces many changes to its desktop interface and utilities. It keeps Zorin on track with its goal of maintaining a Linux OS for everyone, not just advanced Linux users. Zorin OS 15 beta is the first major release since Zorin OS 12 in late 2016. This edition is well worth the wait. Major releases of Zorin OS come only once every two years. Minor updates are released every few months as needed. Zorin OS 15 is based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 Long Term Support.
It is great that things are getting better. I paid for version 12 just to say thanks for making something different. Version 12 was just ugly with many bugs and things just did not work well. It was like lipstick on a pig. I am glad they have put more work into it this time. What they released at the time should have been beta or maybe even alpha software.
Most Linux users like to create their own individual desktop 'look' hence the theme options but Gnome is still what it is no matter how much tweaking and extra dressing you give it. This is why for me the Lite version of Zorin was always the better option. I installed Compiz/Emerald into 12.4 and have a much more versatile system with far more custom options.
