Zorin OS developers on Tuesday released Version 12.1, offering Linux users a patchwork of software and hardware updates with some performance enhancements and bug fixes. Zorin 12.1 follows the introduction three months ago of the project’s 12 series. It is a minor update, but the amount of tweaking applied makes it worth upgrading to the .1 release. For instance, Zorin OS 12.1 introduces an updated hardware stack. It also includes Linux kernel 4.8, an upgrade from kernel version 4.4, and an updated X server graphics stack.
As a long-time Debian user (with Mepis and kxstudio repositories added), this is the first distro in a long time that makes me look again with interest. I always customize my Debian desktop (with multiple DE's installed), but Zorin looks to be good to go as is.
Zorin Desktop Is a Crowd Pleaser
