My Zorin os 16 (my favourite distro) boots very very slow 🐌

Okay, I can understand your problem as an Indian student.

It is my second board exam this time. It is subjective, so I need to do some extra hard work.

In which class you are now?
Are you in class 9th?
Now I have also the annual exam. I am also doing hard work for that.

@100WCharge @AdarshMeher, i really do respect you 2. When i had your age linux was very young and didnt hear much about it. Linux got popular when ubuntu came on the market. My first linux installation was at the age of 28 :sweat_smile:. Sadly my laptop back in that time froze alot with every distro (zorin 8 and 9, mint 17, Elemantary os, manjaro, arch and so on) so i gaved up and went back to Windows. In the end even on Windows i got issues because the GTX 485m was dieing, linux probably detected that first.

2 years later (2016) i tried it with a newer laptop and mint ran good BUT i could not get my games to work, i gaved up to soon because i didnt want to figure it out.

This year, i read all the bs around windows 11 about specs you needed (my laptop is just 4 years old and microsoft wants to deside for me to buy a newer on so i can use their os), privacy stuff and so on that i really was thinking...i wished i fugured out Linux much earlier. So i googled for a good distro and Zorin 16 popped up alot that this is one of the great alternatives for windows and mac users. So i did a bit research on what zorin made special, installed it and oh boy...i never even switched back to windows since august. I managed to get my games running in Linux which i wished i tryed out years ago, because i would kick windows much earlier. I already disliked windows 8/8.1 and specially 10 (duo the telemetry).

The short story, when i had your age i would not even thinking about touching linux. Yes linux has grown overtime and is much more friendlier then it was years ago. I am really happy to see more and more young people are using Linux instead of Windows :innocent::+1:t2:

Thank you sir

Bill gates have built an operating system at the age of 13 so why we can't just use an operating system at the age of 14 that's my thought.

Okay. Linux is very easy now. Now anyone can use that. Tell your elder sister to try your computer once.

My elder sister has an expensive laptop. As I speak lies to her, hence she isn't trusting me now :grinning: and she also has a fear that linux might break her laptop.

She is very truthful and the laptop she uses is my fathers laptop. As he has his own office laptop, hence he gave his previous laptop to my sister :sweat_smile:

Actually the non-live version gives you the following options (Devuan 4 latest and earlier):

  1. Devuan Default Desktop (LXQt)
  2. xfce
  3. Mate
  4. Cinnamon
  5. Gnome flashback
  6. KDE (Plasma)
  7. LXQt

And you have the option to install all to disk - no partitioning.

This is my Desktop PC with Devuan 4 Plasma DE:

Oh okay. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will try that.
Truly your desktop is looking very modern and stunning.:heart_eyes::heart_eyes::star_struck::star_struck:

It looks like you have given a sweet theme and candy icon pack, am I right?:face_with_monocle:

That is my Devuan desktop as opposed to Zorin but I could achieve the same result (almost) in Zorin. I'm a retrowave fanatic which started just before lockdown (The Midnight, Ollie Wride, Nina, Michael Oakley,
Jessie Frye, W O L F C L U B, Dryve, YOTA, All The Damn Vampires) Yes it is the "Sweet" theme.
