Hi,
I discovered zorin OS few days ago, it is really pleasant to use!!!
I would like to know if there is a way to automate its installation for few computers, using the same system as debian (preseed ), or ubuntu >23 (autoinstall )
thank you for the pointers if exist !!
Download Zorin OS 18 : Obtain the ISO file from the official Zorin website.
Install Cubic :
Use your existing Linux system to install Cubic. You can find it in your package manager or download it from its official site.
Create a Custom ISO :
Launch Cubic and select the Zorin OS 18 ISO file.
Follow the prompts to customize the installation. You can add applications, scripts, and configurations as needed.
Set Up Partitions :
Define how you want the partitions to be set up during installation. This can include root, home, and swap partitions.
Finalize the ISO :
Once you have configured everything, Cubic will create a new ISO file that you can use for installation.
Install from USB :
Use a tool like balenaEtcher or Rufus to create a bootable USB drive with your custom ISO.
Boot from the USB drive on the target machine and follow the installation prompts.

I'm not familar with this topic.
But I read here that it was not possible on Zorin:
Zorin OS Core is a Desktop Live ISO and does not officially support Ubuntu Server’s Subiquity autoinstall.
Although Zorin is Ubuntu-based, it does not use the same installer stack. This is why autoinstall.yaml is ignored and casper fails to find the live filesystem, resulting in the initramfs shell.
At the moment, full unattended installation via iPXE is not supported for Zorin Core.
If you need automated deployment, the recommended approach is:
Use Ubuntu Server autoinstall
Then install GN…
Ya not sure Zorin can be installed this way safely...or even unattended at all ..seems like a windows thing tho most windows stuff is iffy at best
