Can you
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change the line we looked at earlier to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
Then
sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs
sudo apt update && sudo full-upgrade
sudo reboot
and test...

sudo update-initramfs
You must specify at least one of -c, -u, or -d.
Usage: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs [OPTION]...
Options:
-k version Specify kernel version or 'all'
-c Create a new initramfs
-u Update an existing initramfs
-d Remove an existing initramfs
-t Take over a custom initramfs with this one
-b directory Set alternate boot directory

I just wondered if you noticed this part.
Do you think Puppy has more codex than Zorin?
Yes, that was why I tried disabling the XFCE compositor... Not aware of Puppy having more codecs. If anything... It would have less, I would think.
I thought Puppy uses XFCE desktop.
Default on Puppy is Openbox.
Ah, OK.
Thanks. It has been a quite while, I used Puppy.
I must get confused with some other distro.
It did not found full-upgrade command.
do i proced to reboot?
I wonder if this is one of those 1 GB RAM netbook.
I upgraded mine to 2GB RAM (max it can take).
But if it has only 1GB, even Zorin 15.3 is a bit of a limit.

I can paste the output here but my terminal is in ptbr so idk if it will help
Can you tell me how much RAM in this netbook?
Better yet, it would be nice to have a CPU info as well.

Yup, it has the same CPU and same amount of RAM as my HP Mini. I think you'd be better off using lighter OS than Zorin.
My favourite one is Bodhi Linux.
It is also Debian base and easy to find a way around.
