Zorin OS 16.3 is our first version that comes pre-installed with the new Zorin OS Upgrader. This is the feature our community has requested most throughout the years.

Zorin OS 16.3 is powered by the same version of the Linux kernel as in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (GA). It comes with updated drivers, bringing even better compatibility with more hardware. That includes support for newer components like NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070, 4060 Ti, and 4060 graphics cards out of the box.

Depthboot is a builder script that creates a bootable USB drive/SD-card that can be booted on any x86_64 Chromebook. It supports common Linux distributions(Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora) and a variety of the most popular desktop environments. Due to licensing restraints, Depthboot cannot be distributed as an iso. Instead, it has to be build locally.

Anyone have experiences with this?

In reaction to the recent announcements by RedHat, AlmaLinux is shifting focuses slightly:

We will continue to aim to produce an enterprise-grade, long-term distribution of Linux that is aligned and ABI compatible with RHEL in response to our community’s needs, to the extent it is possible to do, and such that software that runs on RHEL will run the same on AlmaLinux.

That is, instead of "1:1" bug compatibility, they will aim to be ABI compatible.
