Share market of Linux has grown significantly in 2020 as we have mentioned and in an earlier post. .
Obviously, it is very difficult to determine how many users switch from Windows to Linux, but some statistics data published by the developers of Zorin OS, a popular Linux distribution, show that their distribution is attracting more and more cross-platform users except of Linux.
More specifically, the developers of Zorin OS they mention that their latest operating system update was downloaded en masse by users using windows and macOS.
"With over 900.000 downloads since its release nine months ago, Zorin OS 15 was our largest and most advanced release ever. Two out of every three of these downloads came from Windows and macOS, reflecting it Mission us to bring the power of Linux to people who have never had it access in this. None of this would be possible without the help of you – the community – who advertise us and help the project grow. We'd like to thank all of you for making this release as big as it is! "
It is worth mentioning that Zorin OS is not the most popular Linux distribution, as there are big competitors (Ubuntu, MX Linux and Linux Mint).
ZorinOS is the closest to Windows without the need to add an extra theme.
I have put it on a laptop and PC for a decade (which was for throwing away), the first one is used by some kids to access the internet and YouTube and the other by a well-known retiree to gamble and read the news. They work just fine without problems; only it is not completely Hellenized.
strange since it is based on ubuntu
If the strange thing concerns Greek, some few points are not Hellenized and concern some third-party applications in the Education version and some advanced settings… that the ordinary user will not need.
