ZORIN LINUX, YOU CAN TRY
by Sadananda
What
is Linux? Linux is an operating system, just like Windows, IOS or Mac OS. Most
of us are using Android OS in our phones. Android is a popular operating system
powered by Linux. Linux is also an open source operating system. Open source software is a software which is freely
redistributable with source code where anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance
it.
So, why Linux? Yes, there are some special reasons. For our
general works it is freely available. It runs on any hardware. It has high
security. It has also high stability. Easy to use, Strong community support and
Ease of Maintenance can be considered as other reasons.
There are different types of Linux distributions. Example: Ubuntu,
Debian, Linux Mint, Fedora, Opensuse, Manjaro, Solus etc. Each distribution has
a different special looks from others.

system powered by Ubuntu. I am using Zorin OS for last six months in my desktop

candy desktop look and can be operated with mouse like Windows.
