Hello,
I can't Uninstall MPV from Zorin OS 18.1 Software Store when I click Uninstall it appears a message saying:
Unable to uninstall mpv
In details section says:

It appears in the Installed section and I can't remove it.
Please help!
Hello,
I was listening to an mp3 file with VLC media player ln my Laptop when suddenly the audio didn't come out, it was silent. I tried to listen to another song, also an mp3 and it happened again.
I closed and opened again VLC, tried another song, same problem.
I restarted my Laptop and tried to play the mp3 again, same problem no sound.
I went to YouTue and played a video, it had sound no problem.
I don't know what is happening, unistalled VLC and installed it back, tried the mp3 file again there was no sound.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
I just installed Zorin 18 onto my Desktop (Lenovo Ideacenter) and am wondering if there is anything I should set up in Zorin that will help or is an underrated setting or program to use with this. I'm pretty computer savvy (was able to set up proton VPN through the terminal) so just wondering if there is anything else I need to turn on or turn off before really getting off to the races with this OS.
Windows keeps getting more bloated, more locked down, and more filled with stuff nobody actually wants. Every update hides more settings, adds more ads, and buries basic controls behind layers of UI. Even simple things that used to be one click now require digging through menus, registry edits, or random scripts from the internet.
I got tired of fighting the OS just to make it behave like a normal system again. So instead of relying on debloat scripts or hoping Microsoft stops adding nonsense, I started building my own tool to expose the controls Windows keeps burying.
The goal wasn’t to make something flashy or corporate-looking. I just wanted a clean interface that gives back the options Windows tries to hide. Something practical, fast, and actually useful.
Right now it already handles things like:
revealing hidden system options
disabling annoying built‑in features
cleaning up parts of the OS that normally require scripts
undoing some of Microsoft’s “forced” decisions
making Windows feel less restrictive and less like an ad platform
I’m improving it based on real use, not marketing. If something is annoying in Windows, I try to make it fixable. If something is buried, I try to surface it. If something is forced, I try to give the user a choice again.

Could someone who uses Zorin OS please send me this wallpaper? I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. Please guys, I really need it!
Meu notebook estava travando muito durante 1 hora, resolvi desligar e quando liguei recebi essa surpresa.
O que devo fazer?
ZorinOs
I installed Zorin OS on my old laptop (which had Windows 10). But after the installation, it won't boot; it gets stuck on the boot screen (first photo). I even managed to boot by selecting Recovery Mode in the advanced settings, but when I shut down or restart the device, the problem persists (this also happens in Linux Mint in the Cinnamon and Xfce editions). If anyone can solve this, I would appreciate it. (The other photos are of the BIOS and the system specifications)
1st of been a Linux user since about 3 weeks now , tried ZorinOs 18.1 and got the Pro the same day.
Its great but i feel like the ZorinConnect is a not there yet , would love it to be able to use the apps on my phone just like i was able with the Windows version "MyPhone" .
Just ran an update using the Software Updater and it is giving errors which looks to be the NVIDIA repos not reachable.
I also tried in the terminal and it gives the similar error.
I don't remember adding or installing custom repos for the Nvidia drivers as I was just using the "additional drivers" tab in Software & Updates via GUI.
I try to run the update again, but this time I unchecked all related to NVIDIA drivers. Which broke the Nvidia drivers (which I believe is because of the kernel update).
Anyone having the issue right now? I just wanted to check if the specific links below is down for anyone else or I have to make changes on my system to get the latest drivers or any Nvidia drivers at all.
Hi!
Today I received two Security Updates.
How can I know what they were about?
Also, what happened with CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail) Patch?
When that Security Update is going to be available, and how to know?
Thank you!

just notice my screen recording bugged out
I just visited the ZorinOS website, just to find out that is similar to the AxionOS website, the Custom ROM for Android devices. Are they affiliates? I just asking for fun.
(Here's the AxionOS website, if u want compare it with the ZorinOS one) (I can post only one media at a time)
Salve a tutti! Uso Mint da circa 2 mesi dopo essere passato da win10 a Zorin 18 e poi nuovamente a win10 per pochissimo tempo prima del salto definitivo a Linux con Mint. Le uniche cose che faccio col mio PC sono navigare su internet, giocare ad FM (che posso installare tramite Lutris), mail, qualche call su teams e basta. Attualmente uso la versione xfce di Mint e mi piace cambiare tema del pannello e delle icone ma Zorin mi sembra più "moderno", non solo a livello grafico. Che ne pensate?
Love Zorin Os in my laptop. My battery life increased by 2 hours and my laptop is snappier. Love the jiggly physics and the minimize and maximize animated. My biggest problem is I need office. My colleagues are using office and libreoffice doesn't work with them perfectly. Is there some way to make it work. Thank you
I followed this blog post (https://medium.com/@hrzum101/zorin-os-lenovo-yoga-9i-2-in-1-intel-fixing-fingerprint-sensor-issue-47ec62cfba6b) to try to get my fingerprint scanner working, but the option is not showing in the user settings. I'm on Zorin 18.1 so I'm wondering if that might be making the difference? I'm on the same hardware as the person posting it, but my Zorin version is different. Any thoughts? lmk if you need any more info, I'm not sure what would be helpful to share (new to linux)
I use RustDesk religiously, and self-host their relay server. So far, so good.
I used Zorin's Software app to install it, and while it worked great, it was unavailable when I closed it down, despite having the Service started.
It turns out that because I installed the default Flathub version, after some frustration, I found that Flathub installs are containerized and isolated from the system, so of course, when I close RustDesk, the service stops because its container stops.
The solution was to download the installer from the Rustdesk site. This installs a more native version that can start and stop the service at the system level.
The result is that I can now remotely and securely access my Zorin OS PC!
Hey I could use some help I’m trying to swap over to linux for the first time using zorin os and am having trouble. I have a Ryzen 7 0700F processor and a Nvidia RTX 5060 ti gpu. So far I have the iso flashed to my usb and am able to get it booted from the usb. After I go to install and follow the prompts I’m running into this issue where once it’s done installing and prompts me to remove the usb it isn’t booting. If anyone could help I’d greatly appreciate it I’ve been stuck in a loop of trying to get this to work for a few hours and have no clue what to do now.
While this is not the first time I have used a Linux distro, it is the first time I am using it on a personal device. To give a little background, our office computers are, shall I say, "obsolete" and pretty slow. Because other people also use my workstation, I got a bit iffy about it.
Initially, I used my wife's gaming laptop as my primary work computer here in the office, but since she needs to use it now, I decided to utilize her old HP laptop instead. I originally wanted to use Ubuntu, as that was the only distro I was familiar with, but I decided to explore. I tried both Pop! OS and Mint, and I was actually using Mint for a good three weeks until I discovered Zorin OS. As soon as I gave it a try, I was immediately amazed and migrated to it.
I don't know about others, but I find Zorin much smoother to operate, and I'm currently very happy with the UI. I am exploring it further as a potential future replacement OS for my desktop at home, which currently runs Windows 10. That is all, I just wanted to share how happy I am with this OS.
Also yes, I am the only one using this OS in my office, which confuses my team for why I use something "complicated" and different from them. Haha.
hey so, im kind of new but how do i ensure im running the latest amd gpu driver?
i checked my MESA version and it seems out of date?
unsure how to check the direct from amd version
i use sudo apt update and upgrade frequently but i dont think it includes the amd driver.
