As the October cutoff date for Windows 10 support looms, many users are faced with the decision to either upgrade to the latest Windows 11 or risk leaving their computers vulnerable. Microsoft has 72% of the desktop operating system market, and users are starting to see prompts regarding the end of support, which means heightened risk for those who remain on Windows 10.
However, the Zorin brothers, Artyom and Kyrill, are offering an alternative. With over 15 years of experience in developing their own Linux-based operating system, Zorin OS is designed to be user-friendly, even for those familiar only with Windows or Mac OS. The brothers fell in love with Linux at a young age but recognized its steep learning curve, particularly in design and usability. Their goal became crafting an operating system that retains the speed and security of Linux while remaining intuitive and accessible for everyday users.
Zorin OS, which started as a passion project in 2008, has garnered a loyal following with over 10 million downloads. Its latest version, set for release this autumn, aims to provide a desktop experience that feels familiar to new users migrating from other operating systems.
The Zorin brothers’ product is backed by a global community of programmers maintaining the open-source Linux core, which allows for modifications based on user feedback. This approach is starkly different from large tech companies that often prioritize data monetization over user experience.
In the face of the upcoming changes with Windows 11, the brothers are promoting the "End of 10" campaign, which seeks to highlight Linux as a strong alternative for users who want to avoid costly hardware upgrades while maintaining security and user privacy. Events are being held globally, including one organized by the Dublin Linux Community to help users try out Linux for themselves.
For those seeking to revive an older computer or simply looking for an alternative to the expensive Windows upgrade path, Zorin OS presents a compelling solution. With recent advancements in software compatibility, shifting to Linux may not only extend the life of older systems but also provide a more privacy-oriented option in today’s digitally-driven world.
If you’re contemplating this transition, consider Zorin OS for its balance of design, functionality, and affordability—an option well-positioned to serve users well as the Windows landscape evolves.
