Taking the best parts of all the major OSs. Like it.
Okay, so basically they updated Gnome, added some cool extensions and called it a day? Is there more to it than this that I am missing cuz this announcement is mainly just Gnome apps that have been updated to 43

But, they have a new logo!
At least it’s a bit more full-featured than Fedora 39, where they just updated to Gnome 45 and called it a day, and KDE users didn’t even get anything new at all.
and KDE users didn’t even get anything new at all.
This is misinformation.
KDE users got a broken Nvidia driver.
I think Fedora updates are different because they are a fixed length cycle of 6 months which happens to line up with GNOME’s 6 months cycle. And also Fedora is a semi-rolling release with kernel updates being pushed relatively soon and as they come instead of via version updates
Zorin OS 17 isn’t going to dethrone Linux Mint any time soon. I wish they switched to following Ubuntu LTS releases instead of being on their own timeline. 22.04 package base is going to be 2 years old by the time this releases.
They obviously spent a lot of time on aesthetics and simplicity which seems to be the main appeal of the distribution.
Made with shamrocks.
