I would also suggest taking a look at Trinity DE from Q4OS which has a Win 2k feel; it is what KDE looked like before Plasma. It is available in 32-bit and 64-bit. I've only done a video of 32-bit as a VM with very low CPU and memory allocation:
I know the mouse pointer is small but I have found a way to make it bigger.
One last comment, you purchased 17.3 Pro which should also have entitled you to the 17.3 Pro Lite package which uses xfce.
Can you tell us how much RAM you actually have in that PC? i.e. have you increased it to the maximum of 4GB?
Yes. Good suggestion. Q4OS is solid. @Diana - I would try it, too, if I were you.
I'm having trouble creating a bootable DVD. I have pics for you to look at... can you see where I messed up???
That 17.3 Pro Lite sounds amazing to me right now.. I will see if I can find it. And I will keep Trinity in mind.
17.3 Pro Lite sounds very good to me right now... I will see if I can find it. I think it deserves a try.
THANK YOU!!!
Those errors could be a number of reasons. Faulty DVD. It does say check condition and a media error which suggests possible scratches on DVD or problem with DVD-RW lens. Have you ever used one of these on your optical drive to keep it clean?:
No I haven't. I did just order a laser lens cleaner for DVD and CD on ebay. I will clean all my DVD and CD Players before I burn another one.
My home had to be gutted after Hurricane Ian and everything I thought might be salvageable went into storage where most of it remained for 3 years. Everything that was in storage is back in the house now... most still being unpacked and cleaned. I'm not surprised that they might really need to be cleaned.
I did get the 17.3 PRO Lite downloaded. Guess I will get a break here while I wait for the cleaner and more disks to arrive. THANKS your guidance keeps me moving in the direction I want to go!
Looks to me like the DVD did not have enough space available for the entire Pro .iso
If you look closely she was burning MX-Linux 25. However I did wonder if the Lite Pro might be too big for DVD. You would need a BD-RW drive and BDRW DVDs for anything over 4.4 Gb (10 GB per BluRay DVD-RW)
I didn't look closely... LOL
Oops...
Well, I looked now... Size of MX LInux is just under 3 gigs.
How about downloading Z17.3 Lite (not Pro Lite) as a test.
I was wondering if Zorin provides an upgrade route for people who have bought Pro versions but need to install base OS because of install limitations, then enter licence key in order to get the installed OS to get the full-version? Perhaps this is something @staff can look at?
While going through the zorin tour a message popped up that said the Brave browser had to be updated so I clicked for it to update....
BUT IT REFUSES TO UPDATE...
I have nearly driven myself crazy trying over and over to get it to download and/or update and I cannot get it to do it.
I will post pics.
Since there isn't another browser on there I just don't know what to do at this point... WORDS OF WISDOM NEEDED!!!
What is your terminal output of
sudo lshw -C network
I will go try that.
I got a big response and I took pics... I just emailed them to myself and then I will have to put them here for you to see. I will do it as quickly as possible.

This shows a binding with only the unstable staging driver.
We need to know the actual chipset you are using.
Does
lsusb
show the actual RealTek device?
