Install drivers

Hello im felling my Laptop ist very slow how do i Install drivers in zorin os 18?

Drivers are typical already installed via the Linux kernel, so you don't need to do anything. However in some cases like Nvidia graphic cards you may try search for additional driver (a Zorin app).

Yeah but how do i Update them Like Ubuntu

Go to the app Software &Updates > Additional drivers and look if there is offered one.

What hardware specs do you have (computer model, CPU, graphics)?

The name of the app depends on your language. You can also find the app when you open the software center, click on the Hamburger menu at the right side of the top bar and then choose software sources. Then you can see the tab "Additional drivers".

Because you have no nvidia card, there is probably no graphics driver shown for your system.

It can help to switch to Xorg.
Logout and at login click on your username, then a cog wheal appears at the bottom right corner. There select "Zorin Desktop on Xorg".

It may also be worth to do a fresh install with Zorin lite because it is more lightweight than Zorin core. The Zorin 18 lite version has not been released yet but Zorin 17 lite is still supported and you can upgrade later to Zorin 18 lite if you want to.
