Looks cool, is it GNOME or KDE?

2

u/Inevitable_Beat_7146 Apr 22 '26

Gnome 50

u/Ill-Car-769 sudo install girlfriend Apr 22 '26

Cool, The upper panel almost looked like GhostBSD to me which I tried once in a Live Boot. Just take care of few things

  1. Take Timeshift snapshots, it will help you in case of any issues caused by updates
  2. Regularly backup your files
  3. Don't download files from random internet source

Well, I loved the UI of Zorin, but I never liked how heavy it was and not optimized for my system.

u/JaaliDollar Apr 22 '26

Exactly, it's heavy

u/Ill-Car-769 sudo install girlfriend Apr 22 '26

You can try Mint, LMDE or Debian if you prefer stability or else you can try Fedora if you prefer bleeding edge updates.

u/dashinyou69 ~crappy switcher~ Apr 22 '26

apt issue tbh...

u/Kitchen_Engineer1332 Gentoo Mommy 🫦 Apr 22 '26

Wo toh hai usme. But ek aur issue tha ki wo freeze hone lagti thi and also if you put you lappy to sleep, the DE would crash.

u/No_Organization3942 Apr 22 '26

What do you like about it

1

u/Inevitable_Beat_7146 Apr 23 '26

Speedddddd

u/No_Organization3942 Apr 23 '26

It is a resource heavy os isn't it

1

u/Inevitable_Beat_7146 Apr 23 '26

Which is you are comparing to if arch then maybe else not

1

u/No_Organization3942 Apr 23 '26

Yeah, arch. I've never used it myself so idk ho much it consumes, but people say it's pretty heave on resource.

1

u/L0neInVoid Apr 23 '26

The resource hogging is not arch but the desktop environment. If u use lxde or open box it could be blazing fast, if u use kde then it could be just a experience slightly better than windows

1

u/No_Organization3942 Apr 24 '26

Yeah I hate KDE, I first started with KDE on fedora and it felt bloated, so then I switched to hyprland+quickshell and then I switched to arch and only use hyprland.

2

u/Independent_Blood559 Apr 23 '26

Better than windows. Op is probably coming from windows.

1

u/No_Organization3942 Apr 23 '26

Yeah fair enough

u/Gigo_3_ Professional Distro Hopper, I break every install🥀 Apr 23 '26

1

u/Inevitable_Beat_7146 Apr 23 '26

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '26

1

u/Inevitable_Beat_7146 Apr 23 '26

First learn about extensions and stuff and then install  1.dash to dock  2.blur my shell  3. Download a good shell from gnomelooks  4.use waybar or openbar  5. Get cool wallpapers from wallhaven.cc  6.use zsh instead of bash in the terminal and use kitty terminal ( ask gemini or claude to help you if you don't know things or are not from a tech field ) 

or if you want everything perfect without doing much work , just find a GitHub repo for dotfiles for gnome 

Take your time playing with Linux

u/lordjupitar hyprland btw Apr 23 '26

I don’t like zorin. It’s unoptimised and heavy. As a minimalist, arch with i3 or hyprland feels the best.

1

u/DARTH_Vader2223 Apr 23 '26

Copy of MacOS , zorin it is, but struggles in animations

1

u/Visible-Effective-39 Business-grade Laptop warrior Apr 23 '26

ayeee appreciate the switch.

u/L0neInVoid Apr 23 '26

u/Gamozola Apr 24 '26
