Zorin OS 6 is based on the popular Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) distribution, but without the Unity interface, which makes it a Long Term Support release. Instead, Zorin uses multiple desktop interfaces (Windows 7, Windows XP, GNOME 2), which can be switched with a tool called Zorin Look Changer. Zorin OS 6 is powered by Linux kernel 3.2, it has support for GTK3, comes with a revamped Software Center, GIMP 2.8, VLC 2.0, Google Chrome 19, and many improvements and features.
