Hi there,
Does Zorin have the option to set numlock on at boot?
Or does it need to be changed the same as for ubuntu (gdm/gsettings)?
And if it's not, maybe it could be a feature for Pro version?
I actually do not remember if Core has a setting for it.
I use Zorin OS Lite. First, install numlockx
sudo apt install numlockx
I then add /usr/bin/numlockx on to Startup applications.
If that does not work for you on Core, you may need to add it to GDM configuration.
sudo nano /etc/gdm3/Init/Default
Before the exit 0, add the command:
...
/usr/bin/numlockx on
exit 0
Tap ctl+o to overwrite, then enter key to save current configuration. Tap ctl+x to eXit the editor.
On next reboot, numlock should be enabled.
There is no setting in Zorin for that function.
The terminal command as mentioned from you or dconf editor (it needs to be installed before) only enable numlock after login. To enable numlock at boot you can edit the file
/etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults
Does numlockx work in Wayland?

I facepalm, again.
I keep forgetting that Zorin OS defaults to it.
I am not sure what the Wayland alternative is... I would need to research that and I am about to head out to the store.
If you want to use numlockx switch to XOrg. Logout and at login click on your username, then a cog wheal appears at the bottom right. There select "Zorin Desktop on XOrg".
This setup is (no longer) working, it seems.
Anyhow, it no problem 
There are ways around this gnome limitation.
It was more of a curiosity from my part, and something I would like to see with Pro in the future
Thank you all!
Which one do you mean?
