[Zorin OS](https://zorinos.com/) 是一款日益流行的 Linux 发行版。它基于 Ubuntu，因此，毫不奇怪，它也正是[适合初学者的最佳 Linux 发行版](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-beginners/)之一。 类似 Windows 的界面是许多从 Windows 到 Linux 的迁移者偏爱它的主要原因之一。


Zorin OS 有两个主要变体：


* Zorin Core：它使用 GNOME 桌面，用于较新的机器。
* Zorin Lite：它使用轻量级的 [Xfce 桌面](https://www.xfce.org/)，可以用作[老旧的笔记本电脑和计算机的 Linux](https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-linux-beginners/)。


### Zorin OS 15 Lite：新特性


Zorin OS 15 Core 发布之后过了很久，Zorin OS 15 Lite 版终于出现了。你现在就可以使用免费的 Lite 版或付费的 Lite Ultimate 版。


我尝试了 Zorin OS 15 Lite Ultimate 版。在本文中，我将介绍此版本的详细信息以及在为你的计算机下载 Zorin OS 15 Lite 之前应了解的知识。


Zorin OS 15 Lite 与全面的 Zorin OS 15 版本基本差不多。你可以在我们的原来的报道中查看 [Zorin OS 15 的功能](/article-11058-1.html)。


此发行版重点关注资源，因此过去十年中任何类型的旧硬件配置都可以轻松地在其上运行。

在此版本中，它们依靠基于 Xfce 4.14 的轻量级桌面环境在低规格计算机上提供了最佳体验。除了 Xfce 桌面环境外，与使用 GNOME 的完整版本相比，它还做了一些底层更改。


#### Zorin OS 15 Lite 是针对 Windows 7 用户的


![](/data/attachment/album/201911/23/093709j1tr1tyh3rc2y7yn.jpg)


Zorin OS 15 Lite 主要针对 Windows 7 用户，因为对 Windows 7 的官方支持结束于今年 1 月。因此，如果你对 Windows 7 感到满意，可以尝试一下，切换到此版本应该是一种流畅的体验。


Zorin OS 15 Lite 允许你在 “Zorin 外观”设置中将布局切换为 macOS 风格/ Windows 风格的外观。


#### 32 位和 64 位支持


很高兴看到 Zorin OS 考虑到对 32 位/ 64 位 ISO 的支持，因为 Lite 版本是针对具有低规格硬件的用户的。


#### 默认启用 Flatpak 支持


![](/data/attachment/album/201911/23/093712ohdhyqaxc0hy3gco.png)


你可以使用软件中心利用 Flathub 来立即安装 Flatpak 软件包。如果你不确定该怎么做，请务必查看有关[使用 Flatpak](https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/)的指南。


除此之外，你已经拥有 Snap 软件包支持。因此，通过软件中心安装任何内容应该更容易。


#### 用户界面的印象


![](/data/attachment/album/201911/23/093713p6b25dig02dd02ob.jpg)


老实说，默认的 Xfce 界面看起来很陈旧。有一些方法可以 [定制 Xfce](https://itsfoss.com/customize-xfce/)，但是 Zorin 也可以开箱即用。定制外观给人以良好印象。它看起来非常整洁，可以按预期工作。


#### 性能


![](/data/attachment/album/201911/23/093714dtewhhq4pe2ittjh.jpg)


即使我没有在超级老旧的系统上尝试过，但我也在老式硬盘上安装了它，它难以启动 Ubuntu 或类似发行版。


根据我的体验，我可以肯定该性能非常出色。感觉就好像我将其安装在 SSD 上。这显然是一件好事。如果你碰巧在超级老旧的系统上尝试使用它，可以在本文底部的评论部分中告诉我您的经验。


### Ultimate Lite 版和免费的 Lite 版有何区别？


![](/data/attachment/album/201911/23/093716g0ilrfiybqpjyry7.jpg)


没错，你可以免费下载 Zorin OS 15。


但是，有一个单独的“终极版”（Ultimate），其基本目的是用来支持该项目及其开发者。除此之外，它还捆绑了许多预安装的软件，作为计算机的“最终”软件包。


因此，如果你购买 Ultimate 版，则可以访问 Lite 版和完整版。


如果你不想为此付费，仍然可以根据需要选择免费版本（Core、Lite、Education）。你可以在它们的[下载页面](https://zorinos.com/download/)上了解更多信息。


### 如何下载 Zorin OS 15 Lite？


你可以转到其[官方下载网页](https://zorinos.com/download/)，然后向下滚动找到 Zorin OS 15 Lite 版。


你可以找到 32 位/ 64 位的 ISO，可以下载所需的 ISO。


* [Zorin OS 15 Lite](https://zorinos.com/download/)


安装 Zorin OS 与安装 Ubuntu 类似。


### 总结


虽然 Zorin OS 15 作为向 Windows / macOS 老手提供的 Linux 发行版已经是一个不错的产品，但新的 Lite 版本肯定会吸引更多的眼球。

OK
*Zorin OS 15 Lite edition has just been released. We’ll show take you to a desktop tour of this new release and highlight its main features for you. *

[Zorin OS](https://zorinos.com/) is an increasingly popular Linux distribution. It is based on Ubuntu and thus , unsurprisingly, it also happens to be one of the [best Linux distributions for beginners](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-beginners/). It’s Windows-like interface is one of the major reasons why it is preferred by many Windows-to-Linux migrants.

Zorin OS comes in two main variants:

- Zorin Core: It uses GNOME desktop and is intended for newer systems
- Zorin Lite: It uses lightweight
[Xfce desktop](https://www.xfce.org/)and is intended to be the[Linux for old laptops and computers](https://itsfoss.com/lightweight-linux-beginners/)

## Zorin OS 15 Lite: What’s New?

Zorin OS 15 Lite edition has finally landed after a long time of Zorin OS 15 Core release. You can get your hands on the free lite editions or the paid ultimate lite edition now.

I tried the Zorin OS 15 Lite Ultimate edition. In this article, I shall cover the details for this release and what you should know before choosing to download Zorin OS 15 Lite for your computer.

Zorin OS 15 Lite is almost similar to the full-fledged Zorin OS 15 release. You can check out [Zorin OS 15 features](https://itsfoss.com/zorin-os-15-release/) in our original coverage for that.

This release entirely focuses to be light on resources so that any type of old hardware configuration from the past decade can easily run on it.

![File Explorer Zorin Os 15 Lite](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/11/file-explorer-zorin-os-15-lite.jpg)

With this release, they rely on the lightweight XFCE 4.14-based desktop environment to give the best possible experience on a low-spec computer.

In addition to the XFCE desktop environment, there are some under-the-hood changes when compared to its full-fledged version that uses GNOME.

### Zorin OS 15 Lite Targets Windows 7 Users

![Zorin Lite Ultimate Appearance](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/11/zorin-lite-ultimate-appearance.jpg)

Primarily, Zorin OS 15 Lite targets the Windows 7 users because the official support for Windows 7 ends this January.

So, if you are someone who’s comfortable with Windows 7, you can give this a try, it should be a smooth experience switching to this.

Zorin OS 15 Lite gives you the option to switch the layout to a macOS style / Windows-style appearance from the “**Zorin Appearance**” settings. This is an Ultimate Edition feature though.

### 32-bit and 64-bit Support

It was good to see Zorin OS considering the support for 32-bit/64-bit ISOs just because the lite edition is being targeted for users with low-spec hardware.

### Flatpak Support Enabled By Default

![Zorin Os Software](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/11/zorin-os-software.png)

You can utilize Flathub to install Flatpak packages out of the box using the Software Center. Make sure to check out our guide on [using Flatpak](https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/) if you’re not sure what to do.

In addition to this, you already have the Snap package support. So, it should be easier to install anything through the Software Center.

### User Interface Impression

![Zorin Os 15 Lite Appearance](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/11/zorin-os-15-lite-appearance.jpg)

To be honest, the default Xfce interface looks old. There are ways to [customize Xfce](https://itsfoss.com/customize-xfce/) but Zorin does it out of the box. The customized look gives a good impression. It looks pretty damn neat and works as expected.

### Performance

![Homescreen Zorin Os 15 Lite](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/11/homescreen-zorin-os-15-lite.jpg)

Even though I haven’t tried this on a super old system, I did install it on a vintage hard disk drive which struggles to boot up Ubuntu or similar distributions.

As per my experience, I would definitely rate the performance to be super snappy.

It feels like I have it installed on my SSD. So, that’s obviously a good thing. If you happen to try it on a super old system, you can let me know your experience in the comments section at the bottom of this article.

## What’s The Difference Between The ‘Ultimate Lite’ edition & Free ‘Lite’ edition?

![Zorin Os Ultimate](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/11/zorin-os-ultimate.jpg)

Make no mistake, you can download Zorin OS 15 for free.

However, there’s a separate ‘Ultimate’ edition which is basically meant to support the developers and the project. In addition to that, it also bundles a lot of pre-installed software as an “ultimate” package for your computer.

So, if you purchase the Ultimate edition, you get access to both the lite and full version.

In case you do not want to pay for it, you can still opt for the free editions (Core, Lite, Education) depending on your requirements. You can learn more about it on their [download page](https://zorinos.com/download/).

## How To Download Zorin OS 15 Lite?

You can just head on to its [official download webpage](https://zorinos.com/download/) and scroll down to find the Zorin OS 15 lite edition.

You will find 32-bit/64-bit ISOs available, download the one you require.

Installing Zorin OS is similar to installing Ubuntu.

**Wrapping Up**

While Zorin OS 15 is already a great offering as a Linux distribution to Windows/macOS veterans, the new Lite edition surely turns more eyes to it.
