Coming six months after the release of Zorin OS 15, Zorin OS 15.1 is the first major update to the open-source and free computer operating system, based on Canonical’s latest Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver) operating system, which means that it now ships with the Linux 5.0 kernel. With this update, Zorin OS devs continue to target those moving away from Windows 7. Highlights of the Zorin OS 15.1 release include better Microsoft Office compatibility and performance in the LibreOffice office suite, Feral Interactive’s GameMode, a technology that makes Zorin OS a better gaming platform by automatically allocating more GPU, CPU, and disk I/O resources to games you’re playing, as well as a more seamless experience for Android phone users with the latest version of Zorin Connect.
