  1. Zorin OS is very well thought out for the average user or even the most novice, to be accessible and put everything within reach with as little friction as possible when someone is migrating from something like Windows or Mac.

    1. Once installed, we can choose between continuing to test ZorinOS in Live mode or rebooting the system. In case of rebooting, we recommend removing the installation media, because if it is set by default as the first boot media, it will boot again instead of the system.

      Thanks for comment.
