Once you install Zorin OS, you can boot into it and immediately upgrade the kernel using the TuxInvader repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline
sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-generic-6.03

Is this a NUC?

In respect of lockups freezing it advises disabling Intel iGD in the BIOS.
Yes it is a NUC, but there is no setting in the BIOS for disabling the iGD, thanks for the info though
I tried this kernel upgrade and now it doesn't even boot into zorin!
This is the boot errors prior to kernel upgrade

At present I have installed Debian 12 which on boot shows a kernel of 6.1.0-13, this works OK, no freeze or lock ups.
So it appears to be just an issue with Zorin.
Looks like I won't be switching over to the micro PC at the present.
Still looking on the bright side it gives me time to look at other linux distro's.
I'll leave this open for a short while longer to see if anyone else has some ideas for me to try.
Can't resolve the Zorin issue but you could try:
MX-Linux 23.1 KDE
MX-Linux xfce/fluxbox
https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-23-1-libretto-released/
Antix 23 (ice-wm)

If the newer kernel did not work, just launch the Grub Menu, select the earlier kernel to boot into. Then remove the later kernel.
sudo apt remove --purge linux-generic-6.03
Thanks for the info, but I'd already reinstalled zorin again, which still still locked up /froze up. I'll have to try some other OS'es for now.
I'll will have a look at those other OS'es, thanks.
It's asolution of sort's for now so I'm going to close this post.
Newer kernel works for me - how do I move it to the Zorins default in regular start-up. right now it defaults to the 5 15 88 gen . TY
Zorin OS will automatically boot to the highest kernel by default.
Not so far - every time I reboot from this I get 5.15.88 - now going into other selections - I can choose it, but so far it has not defaulted to it.
OK I rebooted again and choose Zorin with options choosing the regular gives me the latest, however, I have the 5.15.88 with it's own boot menu selection also. A locked kernel - perhaps - any way to unlock and update it, then I could save the choices menu for options down the road.
TY

Should the grub timeout be 0 repping the newest kernel? sorry for the late response - also.
No. If you set it to 0 seconds, you may be unable to access the Grub Menu if you need to.
ok - how to unlock kernel?
Your grub file does not show it as locked in. And apt mark
would only hold it from upgrading, it won't change the boot preference.
I am not sure why your system is defaulting into a lower kernel.
Is the newer kernel fully installed or only partially?
Have you ever installed Grub Customizer?
yes -
