Key Features of Zorin OS
More Speed.
Your computer should work as fast as you do. Zorin OS runs lightning quick and doesn’t slow down over time. Apps open fast, so you can spend more time being productive.
Revive your old PC. Save money and help the planet.
We’ve streamlined Zorin OS to work on computers as old as 15 years. That means you can keep using your PC for longer to save money on upgrades and reduce e-waste to help the environment.
A world of incredible Apps.
Zorin OS comes with all the essential apps you need out of the box, so you can get working right away. Discover thousands of powerful apps from the built-in Software store. You can even run many Windows apps in Zorin OS with Windows App Support.
Ready. Set. Game!
Play an enormous library of your favorite games, whether they’re AAA titles or indie games. Install native Linux and Windows games from Steam, Lutris, and other sources. Zorin OS comes with NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel graphics drivers as well as game optimizations, so you can get great performance easily.
Your phone and computer work as one with Zorin Connect.
Zorin Connect is integrated into the Zorin OS desktop to merge the experience between your computer and Android device. It works over an encrypted connection on your local network, so your data stays private and doesn’t reach the cloud.
Compatible with your documents and files.
Your documents, music, photos, and videos just work. Zorin OS comes pre-installed with the LibreOffice suite, which lets you view, create, and edit Microsoft Office/365 documents. If you install Zorin OS alongside Windows, you can access the files on your Windows drive partition from within Zorin OS
