Timeshift has been an absolute godsend for me for many years now. I always had sync to automatically copy my files to the cloud and external drives. Timeshift allows me to completely nuke my system and get back to without any stress. Thanks for letting more people know about this.
This was a really good and helpful collection of tweaks! I started to test Zorin as a daily driver in dual boot with Windows yesterday and I'm shocked how well Linux desktop evolved since I last tried it - Zorin does a very good job for me so far.
Excellent information, I've been a Windows user for years and got into Linux a couple of years ago. Your help is very helpful, I am currently using Zorin Os on one of my computers. It is a PC from the year 2007 and with 7 GB of Ram and an Athon x2. The truth works great. I recommend it.
I stopped watching when he said that. He's on my blacklist now. One of the points for running Linux is relative freedom from Google and similar spying.
You sir are a genius and an absolute star for putting this tutorial together and saving us hours of research and trial and error to get a new Zorin system up and running in a good way! Fantastic! Liked & Subscribed!
I've tried them all and speaking personally Mint and Zorin are miles ahead of the game. Both were reliable. I like the simple sleekness of Zorin. Mint is good, but a bit clunky in terms of visuals.

Thank you so much, I finally got around to reinstall my old Dekk M4700 work latop with Zorin 17 and your tweaks have made it run perfectly. I think Zorin will gain a massive following next year when Windows 10 support ends (and people are getting tired of being dependent on Microsoft...)
@@LinuxTex is it possible to install multiple linux distributions on a single hdd/see/nvme if so please do make a video on how to do taht cause I might just do that with my new laptop 😅.
@@rohanleander yes it's very easy First install VENTOY on usb (watch a yt video to setup) this will allow you to boot multiple iso from same USB without formatting it evertime. You will have to choose manual partitioning and create a 500Mb disk for EFI system partition on which you will install the bootloader next resize your partition and make multiple partition for multiple OS. Everytime mark boot flag to 500 mb drive and install the distro in required partition You can see videos on manual partitioning and websites too there are plenty of help
@@sjimosui8279 , please would you mind to share some good links to learn how to do with the partitions and putting the home folder in a different partition.
Super helpful tips, been using ZORIN for close to a year now. But you lost me at google chrome. Plenty of other browser like BRAVE and Opera which are go-to's for privacy and security. ANYTHING is better than chrome. Were all on Unix for a reason right? to get away from Microsoft, and the companies who dont like free and open source! Great content bro keep it up!
damn i'm sold to Zorin now! i'm still with windows 7 because i loved the interface and facility to navigate around.. windobe 10 is a maze. i'll switch for Linux soon when Windows 7 will be obsolette.
If you also have zorin light like me you may need to search any part of this that doesn't seem to be installed in the software section. I didn't have the additional drivers software installed
Hi, thanks for this useful video. But I have problem with installing ubuntu-restricted-extras . It is always finished by error: 'E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted-extras'. I have installed Zorin OS 16.2. Can you advice me?
Using Google drive as a virtual drive requires some FUSE application. You can add this too. This is very important for people who use Google drive as a physical drive.
I struggled with wine running a program with dx9 even after installing the dx9 add on to it. So I got rid of ZorinOS instantly. But this video makes it looks amazing l
@@wesselvanleeuwen7300 That flippant reply looked as if you were making fun of something for being old, outdated... And yet, here you all are constantly typing shit into a terminal. This time it's to teach your brand new OS how to update itself. How very retro., indeed! ;-]
I think Zorin OS 16 is a game-changer. It is a definite improvement over many flavors of Linux and I would recommend it to normies. I think it's very intuitive and for those that merely need a browser, streaming services, and word processor, this OS excels! For more advanced users, the world is yours - it's Linux after all. I also like the lightweight nature of the operating system - it idles with 1.1 used gigs of ram (pretty good!).
@Bad Taste You do know that Zorin OS is based on Ubuntu right..? Also stop distro-hopping, you will never stay with one if you just keep moving to the ones that you aesthetically like the most, give it some time, if you are having real difficulties then you can move on. Also you won't learn anything if you just keep hopping like that.
Good video. Thanks for the tips. - How does one add the 'year' to the desktop date? I use screen-capture to record financial transactions, and want the current year included with the date indicator. Thanks.

Agreed. Linux users don't seem to understand that the way to encourage ordinary peeps to switch is to use the GUI more. My grandma is not gonna be one to mess with what appears to be alien language (to her).
I have just installed Zorin 16.2 and watched this video before doing so. It was a great help as I have no experience with Lynux at all. The one thing I think this video misses is how to connect to networked drives. Specifically, drives that are shared from a windows platform. I have been working for 3 days now and cannot even see the network.
I agree wit you. I have Zorin installed on my Desktop and I would like to share my hard drives installed on other PCs with Windows on this Desk PC with Linux, but so far haven't figured how.
TH-cam videos stops after few minutes. Same with other streaming websites. Tried Firefox and Chrome. Tried different internet connections but still still issue persists. Can you help?
Why are some of the windows square but others rounded at the bottom? Is there a way to fix them across all apps by making the bottom rounded as well? One example, terminal has a square bottom but rounded top.

Hello sir I'm recently download zorin Os and like it but there is some issue. Face on laptop like automatically screenshot taking and don't find solution please help me 😭
Very helpful indeed - thanks! Although Zorin 17 already comes loaded with Steam and Wine, so it's no longer necessary to add them. One think I use and enjoy more than ever is nala, in place of apt, it's far superior, quicker and looks great, giving the information in a more detailed and colourful way. It can also search for your fastest mirrors and you choose to save however many you want. That's usually 3 or 4, depending on the speed shown.
For some reason, changing dns from automatic to any other is preventing me from opening any website. I use my institute's LAN so maybe they have implemented some setting to prevent changing dns.
Thank you for your amazing video❤, I have a question, Currently I'm in china if I change DNS to google DNS will it work smooth? Bcz google services are banned in china . Thank you .
I went to update the drivers, and it says I'm using a manually installed driver. It says it's an Nvidia corporation unknown and all options are greyed out. I let Zorin install the drivers, I didn't touch anything.
sounds nice, i was actually thinking of putting mint on my laptop for emergencies and to mess around and get my feet wet with linux (i'm a long time windows user). maybe ill try zorin OS instead and see what happens ... my past experience with wine has been miserable and kept me from going further but it sounds like zorin os automates wine if need be.
After sudo apt get update and upgrade, on restart, Zorin wouldn't complete its boot, came up with an error: "efi system partition (esp) not usable" WTF. So I go to the Zorin forum, and it says that they are doing system maintenance, check back, tomorrow.
