Switch off the computer. Make sure it’s completely powered off, and not in sleep or hibernate mode.
Switch on the computer. Immediately at start-up, repeatedly press the designated key to open the BIOS/UEFI settings. This key should be indicated on the screen at startup or in your computer’s manual. If you are unsure which key to press, it is usually either F2 Esc, Delete, F12, or another function key.

Zorin OS has always surprised users with a different set of features when each version is released as it comes with many new features.
ReplyDeleteExactly, for example Zorin OS ships with a completely new GTK theme that has been created exclusively for this distro and the theme is available in 6 different colors along with the hugely popular dark theme. Another highlight is that the operating system automatically detects the time of day and changes the desktop theme accordingly. Let's say, for example, that during sunset it switches to a dark theme, while in the morning it automatically switches to a bright theme.
