"Best OS for old hardware"
4/5
What do you like best about Zorin?

Zorin is a lightweight Linux distro that runs incredibly smooth even on my old Compaq 2003 laptop which honestly says a lot. I've been using it for about 4 to 5 years now and it never lets me down. The interface is clean and familiar, so I didn't have to spend much time figuring things out. Apps like browsers and media players installed without any trouble. And since it's completely free, the value for money is just unbeatable. No unnecessary bloat, no slowdowns — just a solid and reliable system day after day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zorin?

The only thing I'd say is that some software that's available on Windows isn't directly available on Zorin, so you have to find alternatives or workarounds. Also, occasionally after an update, some settings reset which can be a little annoying. Nothing deal breaking though, especially considering how well it runs on older hardware.

"Windows-Like Experience with Lightweight Efficiency"
4/5
What do you like best about Zorin?

I like that Zorin is very lightweight for business desktops. I really appreciate its similar experience to Windows, which is enhanced by the Appstore having a lot of similar apps and a Windows-like theme. I also find apps like LibreOffice, which is similar to Excel by Microsoft, useful for writing documents and legal deals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zorin?

I think Zorin could support more apps. I'd like to see it support apps like WhatsApp Business, MS Edge, and Excel. It wasn't so easy to install, and it doesn't support a lot of customization for drive types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zorin?

Zorin OS comes with useful features and highly customisable ui.

It uses paper icon and material icons that looks super flashy. It's lite version is used in computer with low hardware configurations but it laggs.

What do you dislike about Zorin?

Although it looks nice but there is an issue with os, it lags on computer system hardware.

Specially when I was using it on my low configuration Compaq presario laptop, it started heating and fans were not slowing down so removed this OS. Few features doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
