Linux for those who don't want to leave Windows
The Windows 10 operating system will only be supported for another year. Of course, there will also be "exceptions". This will be for individuals and companies willing to pay for additional support. Another option is, of course, to install the open source Linux operating system or one of the distributions on an outdated personal computer. Windows 11 cannot (at least officially) be installed on older computers.
Fortunately, newer Linux distributions can be installed on a PC in a similar way to Windows, while offering all the software tools that the average user needs in their day-to-day work. In addition, most applications today are available as part of a cloud computing service, and to use them you only need a web browser (Office suite, Adobe graphics editing program, computer games and much more). If we add to this the fact that Linux distributions are generally free, there are fewer reasons to use modern Windows every day. At least for those who do not need specialized programs.
If you want to try Linux but don't want to give up your Windows desktop, we have good news for you. Install the latest ZorinOS operating system on your PC. The novelty was prepared precisely with the intention of replacing the Windows and MacOS operating systems. Namely, it offers a pleasing and graphically rich desktop, with extremely interesting multitasking that inspires.
The latest ZorinOS operating system (version 17.1) is based on the open-source Ubuntu operating system and is also intended for less powerful PCs. The novelty can be run on a personal computer with only 1.5 gigabytes of system memory. In addition, it offers many graphical desktops that closely resemble both Windows and MacOS operating systems, so it will be very easy to work with it. Therefore, it is also suitable for those individuals who are not ready for change.
The open source operating system ZorinOS 17.1 is already available for download at https://zorin.com/os/download/. The "Core" version is intended for regular users and is completely free. For the most demanding users, a paid "Pro" version is available. This one is not overly expensive, as we will only have to shell out 47.99 euros for it. For educational institutions and students, the Zorin OS 17.1 Education version with pre-installed dedicated tracks is available.
