[Zorin OS 16](https://news.itsfoss.com/zorin-os-16-release/) 是一个令人印象深刻的版本。但是，如果你正在寻找一个轻量级的发行版或适合旧电脑的东西，这不是一个好的选择。


Zorin OS 为每个版本都提供了一个由 Xfce 桌面环境驱动的 Lite 版本，以供资源有限的计算机使用。然而，直到刚刚之前，Zorin OS 16 还没有这个 Lite 版。


是的，终于，Zorin OS 16 Lite 现在可以和 Pro 版一起下载了。


请注意，如果你已经购买了 Zorin OS 16 Pro，那么 Lite 版也包括在内。


（LCTT 译注：Zorin OS 的 Pro 版是收费的，其 Core 版和 Lite 版是免费的。）


### Zorin OS 16 Lite: 有什么新内容？


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/10/100704i7xfq7u8fufl0x5l.jpg)


在这个版本中，Zorin OS 16 Lite 旨在通过保持最小的资源使用量，带来所有 [Zorin OS 16 中引入的改进](https://news.itsfoss.com/zorin-os-16-features/)。


我为了制作的视频点评而简要地测试了该发行版，对它留下了相当深刻的印象。


有趣的是，Zorin OS 16 Lite 设法提供了类似于 Xfce 的用户体验和精美的桌面环境。通常情况下，我不喜欢 Xfce 桌面环境（只是一种审美选择），但 Zorin OS 16 Lite 不同。


我做了一个 Zorin OS 16 Lite 专业版的视频，你可以看到它的运行情况。






#### 视觉大修


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/10/100705ktx53zfffuiemm6e.png)


带有 Xfce 4.16 的 Zorin OS 16 Lite 提供了令人耳目一新的用户体验，其精美的主题与 Zorin OS 16（GNOME 版）非常相近。


你可以调整主题，切换暗色模式，并从外观菜单中选择一种重点颜色。外观选项也得到了刷新，可以让你在 Zorin OS 16 Lite 上轻松定制体验。


不幸的是，你在这里找不到像 Zorin OS 16 一样的果冻模式。因此，如果你需要眼花缭乱的动画，Lite 版可能不是你的合适选择。


除了新的视觉变化和功能之外，你还会发现新的可以填补你的桌面的背景。有些壁纸可能只限于 Pro 版。

#### Pro 版的桌面布局


虽然在 Core 版和 Lite 版中有一些桌面布局的选择，但 Pro 版又为你提供了两个额外的桌面布局。


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/10/100707lkvuqpauzjgsjfov.jpg)


其中一个布局类似于经典的 Windows 设计，另一个布局看起来接近于 ChromeOS。


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/10/100708go8yfgdj0yqr0lhr.jpg)


你还可以在类似 macOS、GNOME 2 和类似 Windows 列表的布局之间进行选择。


请注意，作为 [Windows 用户的最佳发行版之一](https://itsfoss.com/windows-like-linux-distributions/)，其默认的布局类似 Windows，这应该是一个很好的体验。


#### 带有窗口预览的任务栏


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/10/100709ir8y0ypxyttyiryu.png)


桌面功能有一个重要的改进，也就是说，现在当你从任务栏悬停在一个活动窗口上时，你可以很容易地查看该窗口的预览。


在用预先发布的 ISO 进行测试时，这个体验并不流畅。但是，考虑到他们已经消除了一些错误，这是 Zorin OS 16 Lite 中的一个很好的功能。


#### 默认启用的 Flathub


应用中心（软件中心）也提供了 Flathub 集成，开箱即用。你应该可以从软件中心很快地找到 Flatpak 应用程序，如果你不喜欢 Flatpak 软件包，可以改变软件包源。


#### 其他改进


![](/data/attachment/album/202112/10/100710awt66zd55zx5bmt4.png)


除了关键的变化外，你还会发现一些改进，如禁用遥测的 Firefox 浏览器、新的声音记录器应用、高分辨率显示器的小数点级缩放以及 Rythmbox 应用。


Thunar 文件管理器有一些常规的微小改进，并与其他设计融为一体。你应该能够使用 parole 视频播放器来播放视频了。


[Linux 内核 5.11](https://news.itsfoss.com/linux-kernel-5-11-release/) 也改进了一些技术兼容性。


总的来说，Zorin OS 团队在将 Zorin OS 16 的漂亮设计和易用性延续到其 Lite 版方面做得很好。大部分时间，你甚至可能没有意识到你在使用 Xfce 桌面环境。

你可以前往其下载页面获取 Zorin OS 16 Lite 的 ISO。如果你已经购买了 Zorin OS 16 Pro 版，你可以使用电子邮件中的链接来下载 Lite 版。

[Zorin OS 16](https://news.itsfoss.com/zorin-os-16-release/) was an impressive release. But, if you were looking for a lightweight distro or something for older computers, this wasn’t the option.

Zorin OS provides a lite edition for every release powered by Xfce desktop environment for computers with limited resources. However, it wasn’t available for Zorin OS 16 until now.

Yes, finally, Zorin OS 16 Lite is now available to download along with the Pro edition!

Note that if you have already purchased Zorin OS 16 Pro, the Pro Lite edition is included.

## Zorin OS 16 Lite: What’s New?

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/zorin-os-desktop-16-lite-1024x576.jpg)

With this release, Zorin OS 16 Lite aims to bring all the [improvements introduced in Zorin OS 16](https://news.itsfoss.com/zorin-os-16-features/) by keeping the resource usage minimal.

I briefly tested the distribution for our video review and was pretty impressed.

Interestingly, Zorin OS 16 Lite has managed to offer a similar level of user experience and polish with Xfce as its desktop environment. Usually, I do not like the Xfce desktop environment (just an aesthetic choice), but Zorin OS 16 Lite is different.

I have made a video of Pro edition of Zorin OS 16 Lite and you can see it in action:

### Visual Overhaul

![zorin os](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/desktop-look.png)

Zorin OS 16 Lite with Xfce 4.16 offers a refreshing user experience with a polished theme that resonates closely with Zorin OS 16 (GNOME edition).

You can tweak the theme, toggle dark mode, and choose an accent color from the appearance menu. The appearance options also received a refresh to let you easily customize the experience on Zorin OS 16 Lite.

Unfortunately, you do not get a jelly mode here, like in Zorin OS 16. So, if you need eye-candy animations, the lite edition may not be a suitable choice for you.

In addition to the new visual changes, and features, you will also find new backgrounds to complement your desktop. Some wallpapers could be limited to the Pro edition.

### Desktop Layouts for Pro Edition

While you already get some choices for desktop layouts in the free version, the Pro edition gives you two more additional desktop layouts.

One of the layouts resembles a classic Windows design and the other manages to look close to ChromeOS.

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/windows-classic-like.jpg)

You also get to choose between a macOS-like layout, GNOME 2, and a Windows list-like layout.

Note that the default layout is Windows-like and should be a great experience as [one of the best distributions for Windows users](https://itsfoss.com/windows-like-linux-distributions/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

### Taskbar With Window Previews

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/window-previews.png)

There has been an important addition to the desktop functionality, i.e., you can now easily view the preview of an active window when you hover over it from the taskbar.

At the time of testing this with the pre-released ISO, it was not a smooth experience. But, considering they iron out the bugs, it is an excellent feature to have in Zorin OS 16 Lite.

### Flathub Enabled by Default

The application center (or software center) also offers Flathub integration out of the box. You should quickly find Flatpak apps from the software center and choose to change sources if you do not prefer Flatpak packages.

### Other Improvements

![](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/12/zorin-os-16-lite-neofetch.png)

In addition to the key changes, you will also find improvements like Firefox browser baked in with telemetry disabled, a new sound recorder app, fractional scaling for high-resolution displays, and the Rythmbox app.

Thunar file manager has received usual subtle improvements and blends in with the rest of the design. You should be able to play videos out-of-the-box using the parole video player.

The presence of [Linux Kernel 5.11](https://news.itsfoss.com/linux-kernel-5-11-release/) should make sure of some technical compatibility improvements.

Overall, the Zorin OS team has done a wonderful job in carrying over the beautiful design and ease of use from Zorin OS 16 to its lite edition. You may not even realize that you are using the Xfce desktop environment for the most part.
