Zorin OS 6 (LTS) - alternative to Windows

        
        Zorin OS is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution designed especially for newcomers to Linux. It has a Windows-like graphical user interface and many programs similar to those found in Windows. Zorin OS also comes with an application that lets users run many Windows programs. The distribution's ultimate goal is to provide a Linux alternative to Windows and let Windows users enjoy all the features of Linux without complications. Zorin’s 2 free versions are “Core” (based on GNOME) and “Lite” (based on LXDE).



 The installation procedure is simple and similar to Ubuntu. You can select either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. The desktop environment is customizable. Zorin OS 6 is compatible with "Windows applications".
      You don't have to worry about viruses and when a potential security threat arises, software updates usually come in a matter of hours. With Zorin OS you are sure to have peace of mind.



   There are plenty of interesting plugins available , but there are some that are more popular than others.One of the most commonly enabled effects is called “Wobbly Windows”, where the window wobbles around as if it’s made of jelly whenever you move it around. It’s very fun to watch, and has become somewhat of a trademark when it comes to Linux desktop effects.
