In case you didn’t know, there are three versions of Zorin OS – Ultimate, Core, and the Lite version. Note: Direct upgrades from Zorin OS 12 to 15 – without needing to re-install the operating system – will be available later this year. If you are already a Zorin user, you would notice that they have refreshed their website with a new look as well. If you want the detailed list of changes along with the minor improvements, you can follow the announcement post. Yes! Other major changes include the support for Flatpak, a touch layout for convertible laptops, a DND mode, and some redesigned apps (Settings, Libre Office) to give you better user experience. It’s good to see a built-in app with integration support for Google Tasks and Todoist. I always wanted this to happen so that I don’t have to use a separate service that offers a Linux client to add my tasks. Also, you can find the night mode if you don’t want the blue light to stress your eyes. You get an option to let the background adapt according to the brightness of the environment every hour of the day. You can find all the settings from the Zorin Appearance app built-in. Not just a dark theme, the UI is a lot cleaner and intuitive with subtle new animations. It’s so pleasing to my eyes when I enable the dark mode on anything, you with me?
For me, this is the best thing that comes baked in with Zorin OS 15. I’m all in when someone mentions “Dark Mode” or “Dark Theme”.
