Because Linux For Everyone has always tried to convey a positive, hopeful vibe – and because 2025 hasn't exactly been nonstop unicorns and rainbows – I wanted to highlight a cool story coming from the Zorin OS camp today.
How do you work as a CEO when you don't know what customers wants? They are totally out of touch and batshit crazy with AI.
A screenshot of a news article headline.
The headline reads: "Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash - 'the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me'"
Below the headline is the short summary: "Mustafa Suleyman says people that are unimpressed with AI's capabilities are mind blowing to him, after recent backlash around Copilot and Windows as an agentic OS."
I was recording a video about Zorin OS 18, using a fresh installation on the Framework 13 laptop, and trying to approach things like a new Linux user might. Specifically an "every day" user coming from Windows.
In the middle of the "Welcome Tour" the display started graphically glitching out. It persisted when I stopped OBS. Persisted after I rebooted. I did a few test runs with OBS before recording for real and everything was fine...

🎮 Gaming on Linux:
De nos jours, on peut en gros tout faire tourner, notamment grâce à Steam (proton). Même Battle.net. Quand ça coince, c'est souvent à cause d'un anti-cheat agressif (quelques jeux multi).
Fine di Windows 10, boom per Zorin OS 18: 100.000 download in due giorni, il 72% da utenti Windows. Linux diventa l’alternativa concreta per chi cerca libertà, compatibilità e design moderno. #Linux#ZorinOS
Zorin OS 18 la nuova versione dell'OS Linux che rende la transizione da Windows facile e offre un desktop elegante, prestazioni elevate e integrazioni avanzate #ZorinOS#Ubuntu#Linux#Windows10
Just as I thought about switching to Ubuntu GNOME, ZorinOS 18 dropped! This might be the right opportunity to try ZorinOS as it's updated to kernel 6.14 (not the absolute latest, still great).
I'll buy and download the Pro version because I like supporting distros! It's not the flashiest or most up-to-date distro...However, the team obviously maintains their distro well.
I've got to help them keep the lights on; as nobody can develop without housing, internet, food, financial security, and fun!
Changez de PC (dixit Microsoft).
La solution trouvée par Microsoft est simple : Achetez un nouvel ordinateur, l’actuel (s'il a plus de 3 ou 4 ans est bon pour la poubelle).
Tous les ministères ou services publics sont concernés sauf la Gendarmerie Nationale qui depuis plus de 10 ans a choisi d’utiliser #Linux.

Support for Windows 10 is ending next month, making it a great time to switch to Linux! There's no need to throw away your old computer. If you primarily use your machine for social media, shopping, or online banking, you can save money and help the environment.
Which distribution would you recommend? Mint or Ubuntu?
PS: For older computers, a lighter weight distribution might be a better choice so ch as Linux Mint XFCE or Lubuntu.
