I'm wondering which OS is best suitable for my pc.

Lite without any doubt.

I concur with FrenchPress.

Based on the available hardware in your system, Zorin OS Lite is highly recommended!

Lite without any doubt.

Memory 3,4 GiB
I'm using core without any problems

You can't make a statement like that without posting your specs lol. So let me go fetch a screenfetch of my Zorin system, and I will post mine running in Zorin OS 16 PRO

It really depends on which apps to be run on the system.

If one only uses the apps with a minimal resorce requirement, Core might be run fine with less than 4GB RAM.

But for any multimedia related apps (GIMP, Kdenlive etc.) it is better to have a less overhead as possible, i.e, XFCE desktop would be better than GNOME for a system with a lower memory.

I run Core version for system with more than 16GB RAM. For the system with 8GB RAM, I installed Lite version.

Look how perty the BLUE Z for Zorin is. HEHE

And for those of you who love Zorin OS, And the Zorin forum, and DARK MODE themes, I present to you......

Yes Zorin OS Core runs surprisingly well on 4gigs or even older hardware. The ZorinGroup did well.

But when it comes to recommendations for a system, users need to hear recommendations that give the Best Performance, not what may work surprisingly well.

You can run both, but recommended is lite. Better experience and smooth performance

I am waiting for lite as well , xfce is better than gnome, for customization etc.

I hope it will be out soon
