End of July our online shop will be online.
We wanted to offer Zorin along side of Windows to our customers.
October will be too late, and we will need to offer an alternative.
This is a strange one.
I suspect that on the earlier kernels, you are falling back to VESA, which is why you cannot get the better resolution without jumping through hoops.
On the later kernels, you have partial support with a 6.14 or higher kernel, due to the drivers being integrated in.
Arrowlake 255H is pretty NEW hardware. Yes, using various configurations, we can get it usable. And my apologies for not grasping right away that you need a Plug n' Play solution for a batch.
Yes, we can write a script that you can run on each computer that will get things up to as much speed as you can to have a usable machine... But I recommend against it.
Because getting it moderately usable for you is a separate issue from having it fully usable for a variety of users.
As it is, the drivers for these graphics stacks are merging into the latest 6.15 kernel. It has limited support, even on the latest kernel you can get.
This means features like hardware acceleration will not work.
That is not a situation you want. Scripting a method that will get you partially there - for a broad customer base - will earn you negative feedback in the end.
Even Ubuntu 24.04 works; but only partially.
So, I can only suggest that for the current use case, exploring the most cutting edge rolling release distro's. Yes, it is not your first choice. But to be fair, even and honest, it is your most beneficial one.
So, on Ubuntu 24.04, You have Your Display Settings ... When you already have used newer Kernels on Zorin, it seems not to be a Kernel Issue - or it is and even the newest Kernel is not new enough.
Antoher Thing could be that Ubuntu 24.04 delivers some Driver what makes it work what is not or not in the right Version in Ubuntu 22.04 (the Zorin Base).
Or it could maybe be the Gnome Version. Ubuntu 24.04 uses a newer one (Gnome 46) than Zorin (Gnome 43).
Hmm ... Okay, another Question: when You use the USB Stick with Zotin on and start it and use the Option ''Try Zorin'' to run Zorin in Live Mode. Do You have in this the Resolution Options or only one, too?
Thank you for the clarification...
As mentioned, our company entered the hardware world just a few months ago and we really would like to pack Zorin with our hardware. Intel 255H is only one of the hardware which we are offering. Could you please mention that how can we reach you for a collaboration?
Thanks for your reply.
Exactly this I wanted to mention and I forgot.
When I load the Zorin installer, it also has the resolution issue, but with Ubuntu the live boot USB is totally fine and I have access to all the resolutions.
While you can offer Zorin OS on the other hardware that has full driver support, for the Intel 255H machines, your options are more limited until full driver support arrives in GnuLinux.
It would be a disservice to your customers and to your own business to provide incomplete driver support.
Hmm ... did You checked the Checksum of the Zorin ISO?
