The Zorin OS company is based in Dublin, Ireland. It uses its own software repositories as well as Ubuntu's repositories. For stability and security, it follows the long-term releases of the main Ubuntu system. Zorin OS is fully graphical, with a graphical installer. The new editions continue to use the Ubuntu-based Linux kernel and GNOME or XFCE interface. The current releases are Zorin OS 16 Pro, Zorin OS 16 Core, Zorin OS 15.3 Lite, Zorin OS 15.3 Education and Zorin OS 15.3 Education Lite. Zorin OS's creators maintain three free-of-charge editions of the operating system, and a "Pro" edition for purchase. Wine and PlayOnLinux can be easily installed in Zorin OS, allowing users to run compatible Windows software for ease of transition. One of its built-in features lets users change the interface to resemble those of Microsoft Windows or macOS. Zorin OS is a personal computer operating system designed and promoted for users new to Linux-based computers.
