Zorin OS mentions (150)

• Introduction

  My first Linux distro was PopOS and It was a refreshing experience. It was really easy to install, use, and game on. I distro hopped a few times to see what other linux flavors are like. These are the ones that I remember trying Zorin OS and Linux Mint. These ones looked mostly like windows and it was easy to use. At work, I gained most of my linux knowledge from docker and configuring / administrating RHEL... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Manjaro is a free and open source Linux operating system that emphasizes privacy

  ZorinOS[0] is fantastic! I switched from Ubuntu too and it was surprising how polished ZorinOS was.

• Sxmo: Linux tiling window manager for phones

• Can I view Waydroid on a different display on a VNC viewer?

  I have setup an Arch linux server on my old pc. I mainly use it for plex, transmission, docker etc and it works pretty well! I wanted to install Waydroid https://waydro.id/ on that server. Is there a way that I can view waydroid using a VNC viewer on my laptop on the same network? Is it possible or would I have to install a GUI like xfce before installing waydroid to view the same on tigervnc or some other VNC... Source: 5 months ago

• Run Firefox on ChromeOS

  > I run Fedora Linux after removing ChromeOS Same here. Sometimes, it crashes on a measly 4 GB of RAM. > (the only thing I'm missing is running Android apps) I would recommend using Waydroid[1].
