Hi and welcome. As I understand it you have successfully installed Zorin on your iMac. Please take a look at the Unofficial Manual I authored for Zorin 17. There are a few tips on various things in it.

Welcome to the Forum!

When Zorin is already successfully installed, it depends what you want to do with it. I mean playing Games or simply use it for Office, Mail, Internet, Streaming.

A couple of common Things:

  • Update the System after Installation
  • Turn on Firewall
  • Look in the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there are Drivers offered
  • Because You have Core: Install the Extension Manager for managing and installing Gnome Extensions
  • Install Gdebi as Tool for installing .deb Files
  • Install Codecs

Welcome to Zorin OS :partying_face:

I thin I would first advice taking things slowly, if this is your first time using any Linux distribution. Keep an open mind, as something will inevitably be different as you're used to doing them in other operating systems.

For some general advice you can checkout this thread. It's a long list, and somethings may be out of date, so don't just go in and start installing things randomly:

Hello and welcome!
Sadly Apple proprietary hardware might not always work out of the box.
This Website can help you to see if your iMac works out of the box with some Linux distros: Apple iMac16,2 Computers
If something doesn't work it's likely that someone already have a workaround.

I hope this help
