作为公认 [最美的 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/) 之一，Zorin OS 的下一轮升级近在眼前。


在正式推出之前，他们已经公开了 Zorin 17 的各项新功能和首个测试版的发布时间。


那么，让我们一起来探索 Zorin 17 的新增内容吧。


### Zorin OS 17：最好的部分

Zorin OS 17 将成为一个主要版本，它是**一个长期支持版本**（直到 2027 年 6 月），并且包含许多令人兴奋的新改进。


据开发人员称，Zorin OS 17 的设计初衷是为他们提供“**迄今为止最卓越且最精致的计算体验**”，而且这一说法似乎有理有据。


比如，Zorin OS 17 引入了“空间桌面”的设计理念，用以提升用户对于桌面活动的认知。

在 Zorin OS 17 的测试版中，展现出了新颖的 “桌面立方体” 效果，用户可以通过富有深度感的 3D 立方视角在工作区之间切换。它运用了视差效果，使应用窗口呈现出独特的悬浮感。

此外，还引入了全新的 “空间窗口切换器”，以整洁的 3D 切换效果替代了标准的平面 / 2D 的 `Alt+Tab` 和 `Super+Tab` 窗口切换。


在我看来，这些看起来确实不错。然而，这些效果可能不是每个人都喜欢，好在**默认情况下这些“空间特性”是不启用的**。


尽管如此，这确实是大胆的一步。Linux 发行版引入了更多的视觉交互特性，这实在不常见。鉴于 Zorin OS 原本就是颜值出众的发行版，新的多任务处理流程和空间桌面无疑将其视觉体验提升了一个档次。


macOS 用户或 Windows 用户可能不喜欢典型的 Linux 发行版用户界面，他们可能会考虑尝试使用 Zorin OS 的可视化方法来使用 Linux。


虽然这可能并不是科技突破，但我坚信，它对于把视觉体验视为优先的大量用户来说，其改变是实实在在的。


与此同时，Zorin OS 依然保持了骄人的核心优势——“**赋予用户对自己体验的掌控**”。看得出，他们将这些视觉元素融入进去，并使得计算体验充满了乐趣。


你必须从 Zorin <ruby> 外观 <rt>  Appearance </rt></ruby> 设置下的新“<ruby> 效果 <rt>  Effects </rt></ruby>”部分手动启用这些功能。


然后是**高级窗口平铺体验**，这是社区最需要的功能之一。


![](/data/attachment/album/202312/10/170217if1fozffpokc1u02.jpg)


现在，你可以轻松实现窗口在屏幕四分之一角落的平铺，甚至可以用键盘快捷键调整窗口在屏幕上的排布。这使得无痛的多任务处理变得**触手可及**。


甚至**软件商店也进行了改进**，速度更快，并采用了新设计和更新的主页，以非常直观的方式列出了应用。**应用详细信息页面也得到了改进**，以显示更大的截图和新信息。


![](/data/attachment/album/202312/10/170217l32masn9anyz08mn.jpg)


同样，引入了**新的快速设置菜单**，使你可以方便地访问重要设置，并且**允许你使用新的电源模式选项（性能/平衡）调整系统性能**。电源模式应该对笔记本电脑用户有帮助。


![](/data/attachment/album/202312/10/170217zy5vmmrs78p9z1y8.jpg)


开发人员还展示了**一种新的截图和屏幕录制**工具，如果你使用过 GNOME 的原生工具，那用这个工具会让你感觉非常得心应手。


他们还提到了**两种新的桌面布局**，一种是**类似 ChromeOS** 布局，另一种是**类似 GNOME 2** 布局。


![ChromeOS-like layout](/data/attachment/album/202312/10/170217d9itaju2xaoeebzv.jpg)


这些布局将在 Zorin OS 17 Pro 发布时提供。


总的来说，看到 Zorin OS 在追求的高质量用户体验，这的确是 Linux 发行版中少有的。这应当能让 Zorin 在众多发行版中脱颖而出，并有可能吸引更多的 Windows 和 macOS 用户尝试 Linux。

The next upgrade for one of the [most beautiful Linux distributions](https://itsfoss.com/beautiful-linux-distributions/?ref=news.itsfoss.com), Zorin OS, is around the corner.

Before the release, they have revealed what you get with Zorin 17, along with the availability of its **first beta version** (for testers).

Let's get started and see what's in store.

## Zorin OS 17: The Best Bits

![a screenshot of zorin os 17 beta desktop screen](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/ZorinOS_17_beta_1.jpg)

Set to be a major release, Zorin OS 17 is** a long-term support release** (until June 2027), and a packed one at that, with many new and exciting improvements.

According to the developers, Zorin OS 17 has been designed to be their “** greatest and most refined computing experience ever**”, and that claim seems well-founded.

Let's begin with their “**Spatial Desktop**” implementation, for instance. It is **meant to give users better contextual awareness** of what's happening on their desktop.

![a demo of the new desktop cube in action on zorin os 17 beta](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/ZorinOS_17_beta_2a.gif)

A new '**Desktop Cube**' has been added that lets you switch between workspaces in a 3D cube-style view that employs a parallax effect to show you a floaty appearance of the app windows.

![a screenshot of zorin os 17 beta spatial window switcher feature](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/ZorinOS_17_beta_2b.jpg)

This has also made way for a new “**Spatial Window Switcher**” that replaces the standard flat/2D Alt+Tab and Super+Tab window switching dialogs with a 3D window switcher that looks neat.

These do look nice in my opinion; however, these effects might not be everyone's cup of tea, luckily** these “Spatial Features” are not enabled by default**.

Having said that, it is **a bold move for a Linux distribution to include more things (or effects) that promote visual interactions through such features**. While Zorin OS was already a visually appealing distribution, the new multitasking workflow with the spatial desktop should take it up a notch.

A macOS user or a Windows user, who may not be a fan of a typical Linux distribution user interface, might just consider giving Linux a try with Zorin OS's visual approach.

Sure, it may not be rocket science (or a unique implementation) but I believe it makes a difference to countless users with visual experience as a priority.

Zorin OS is doing all that, while keeping the core benefit "*giving users the control for their experience*". I like how they are adding these visual goodies, making the computing experience fun 😄

You will have to manually enable these features from the new “Effects” section under the **Zorin Appearance **settings.

Then there's the **advanced window tiling experience,** one of the most requested features by the community.

![a screenshot of zorin os 17 beta advanced window tiling](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/ZorinOS_17_beta_3.jpg)

You can now tile windows to use quarter screen corner tiling, and even use keyboard shortcuts to tile windows around the screen. This **will make it easier to multitask effortlessly**.

Even the **Software Store has been revamped** to be faster, and features a new design with an updated homepage that lists out applications in a very intuitive manner. The **app details page has also been improved** to show bigger screenshots, and new information.

![a screenshot of zorin os 17 beta updated software store](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/ZorinOS_17_beta_4.jpg)

Similarly, **a new quick settings menu** has been introduced that gives you handy access to important settings, and also** allows you to tweak your system's performance** with the new power modes option (performance/balanced). The power modes should be helpful for laptop users.

The devs also showcased **a new screenshot and screen recording **tool that will feel familiar if you have used the native one on GNOME.

They also mentioned **two new desktop layouts**, one is a **ChromeOS-like** layout, the other is a **GNOME 2-like** layout.

![screenshot of zorin os with chrome os like layout](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/layout-chromeos.jpg)

These layouts will be available upon the release of Zorin OS 17 Pro.

**So, wrapping up.**

It is nice to see what Zorin OS is trying to achieve,** a user experience like this is usually unseen on Linux distros**. This should act as a way for Zorin to stand out, and **may even encourage more Windows and macOS users to try Linux**.
