zorin linux on teclast f7

Good to know.

Which version did you install –  Core, Lite, Ultimate, or Business?

Can you just update the Linux kernel to 4.20 (see other post about it supporting the touch pad natively now).

Cheers

its the lite version,  it has all what I want including Libre office, wine etc.

I didnt try a different kernel yet, Im linux newbie and need to learn a little bit to make some changes, but Ill dig into the system to make it even better.

btw. with 10 YT videos played at once it uses only 55%CPU and 50%RAM – what a speed comparing to the win 10

Very interesting post – I had never heard of Zorin Linux until your post. You say it is quicker / snappier than Linux Mint – so you got my attentionn as I had planned to run Mint on my (soon to arrive F7 Plus.

BTW where did you get the 4.20 kernel update from?

Thanks 🙂

There were  problems with last versions of mint, apparently it was significantly slower then previous versions http://www.riksoft.it/wikiriks/linux/mint-19-is-slow-mate-xfce

I wanted mint at first, but I wasn’t impressed with the speed at all, maybe it was fixed now by an update or kernel.

You can try to install couple of different linux distros to test it and choose the best one for you.

 

here is instruction of how to install program called Ukuu – it will installs kernel without hassle, touchpad works straight away

Ukuu – Simple Tool to Install the Latest Kernels in Ubuntu / Linux Mint

 

pro tip – try Cairo dock, makes linux looks like mac OS

 

All the best

All Linux distros are more or less equal in performance. They only differ in RAM usage, which does not generate much of a significant effect on a 6GB RAM machine other than booting and loading difference. Programm performance itself is not affected by the operation system. There might be some effect by background services, but that is also neglectable. Then some might use a different driver stack, e.g. for touchpad scrolling. Other than than, performance is the same.

Hi, could you explain how you installed it? when I install it, it does not start me. not even when I install it alone
