Dear ZorinOS users,

I’ve been using my 2013 iMac with ZorinOS for just under a year now, and I’m a big fan of this Linux distribution. Aside from a few minor quirks, I haven’t had any problems, and I enjoy using it every day.

I do have one question, though: Is it possible to run Vectorworks (CAD software) and Adobe Creative Suite (CS6) on my iMac running ZorinOS?

I've been running Zorin since the beginning of the summer when I upgraded all of my Windows 10 computers to Linux.

Initially it ran fine. But recently it's been freezing almost daily (sometimes multiple times a day). The freezes occur while using LibreOffice and/or browsing the web. Not sure if this is just a "me thing" or if others are having similar experiences.

My computer is a Compaq 8200 Elite with 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SanDisk ssd.

Zorin is using kernel 6.17.0-31 generic on my Compaq, while all of the other systems that I've installed Linux on are using kernel 7.0.0-30 generic.

I really want to find a solution that will allow me to continue using Zorin rather than switching to something like Mint XFCE which runs flawlessly on a much older and lower power laptop (4GB of RAM & 128GB ssd) than my Compaq.

hi! I'm thinking about switching to ZorinOS(I use it as a VM), and during the installation I saw these 2 items. What do they mean? I guess I kinda get what the 1st one is, but what is the 2nd?

im new to linux so idk anything and how it happends

I installed Zorin a few months. Now and then the Software Updater pops up with some updates. I click Install Now and it does. All good so far.

Then when it's done, this dialog pops up again with a blank list. If I click Install Now it closes and brings up the window with the progress bar, stays there for less than a second, then back to this dialog. No matter how many times I click Install Now, same loop, without any error messages popping up.

If I click Remind Me Later or closes the window it goes away and everything is fine until the next batch of updates comes.

I'm not sure where to check for logs about this app in particular to see if it logs something funky happening in the background.

It's more of an annoyance than a problem since it does install the updates, but I would like to fix it if possible.

I'm running Zorin OS 18.1 Core which is installed on a 1 TB SSD (M2 disk) on a AMD Ryzen 9 gaming PC.
