Farewell Windows 10? Zorin OS 18 is ready to take its place

Zorin OS 18 is about to launch. It’s a lightweight operating system, perfect for older PCs and for anyone unable to upgrade to Windows 11.

On October 14, Microsoft will officially end support for Windows 10. The consequence? Around 400 million computers will no longer receive security updates. The issue is that many of these machines are simply too old to run Windows 11. Users are left with a dilemma: buy a new computer (spending money) or continue using an increasingly vulnerable system. Not exactly an easy choice, especially if the PC still works well for everyday tasks.

This is where Zorin OS comes into play. Its interface looks familiar to Windows users, many programs work in a similar way, and above all, it runs smoothly even on old hardware. For millions, it could be the answer: giving their computer a second life without buying a new one and without the risk of security vulnerabilities.

Zorin OS 18: the lightweight, powerful alternative to Windows 10

Zorin OS calls itself “the alternative to Windows and macOS”. Its promise: a faster, more powerful computer that doesn’t spy on what you do. Built on Ubuntu LTS, the most interesting part is that it can revive PCs up to 15 years old. The minimum requirements are almost negligible by today’s standards:

  • Dual-core CPU at 1 GHz
  • 2 GB of RAM
  • 15 GB of disk space

Perfect for anyone looking to breathe new life into a PC that seemed destined for retirement.

A familiar interface, customizable in a few clicks

With the Zorin Appearance app, you can make your desktop look just the way you like:

  • Windows 11
  • Windows XP
  • macOS
  • ChromeOS
  • GNOME 2
  • Ubuntu

This way, users instantly feel at home without having to start from scratch.

Windows app compatibility: yes, even .exe files

Zorin OS integrates Wine, Bottles, and PlayOnLinux, allowing users to install a wide range of Windows software. Most .exe and .msi files work without issues, thanks to a dedicated compatibility layer that comes pre-configured.

Zorin OS 18: better performance and new integrations

The upcoming version, Zorin OS 18, has just been teased through official channels. The team promises a faster system, broader hardware compatibility, and improved integration with other devices. The release is just around the corner, and users can expect significant updates both in terms of visuals and functionality.
