Zorin OS 15.3 is here: Our most advanced OS gets even better

Newer software. Work better with the updated LibreOffice. Improved hardware compatibility and security.

We’re excited to launch the new, upgraded, and enhanced version of Zorin OS 15 – our most advanced and popular release ever.

Since the Zorin OS 15 was first launched in June 2019, it has been downloaded over 1.7 million times. Over 65% of these downloads came from proprietary platforms like Windows and macOS, reflecting our mission to bring the power of Linux to new people and to grow the community for the benefit of all. We’ve been working ever since to make Zorin OS 15 even more powerful, accessible, and user-friendly with updates and point releases.

The world has changed immensely since the previous point release of Zorin OS 15.2. With this new version of Zorin OS, we’ve focused on strengthening the core essentials of the operating system to bring you the features and reliability that help you work, play, and use your computer better.

LibreOffice updated to help you work better

LibreOffice is one of the most important apps included in Zorin OS, and with this new release, it’s getting even better. We’ve included LibreOffice 6.4.6, which is the newest stable release of the award-winning office suite for production use and business deployments. It will allow you to work quicker and more effectively, whether you’re on-site or working remotely. Some of the new enhancements include:

• Even better compatibility with Microsoft Office documents
• Improvements when commenting in documents, for easier collaboration when working remotely
• More options and features when editing documents
• Performance boosts when opening and editing documents, so you can get more work done quicker

Newer software

In addition to LibreOffice, you’ll notice that many for the core apps have been updated when using Zorin OS 15.3. Not only does this provide a better, faster, and more feature-rich experience out of the box, fewer software updates will need to be downloaded after installing Zorin OS onto your computer.

Zorin Connect

The Zorin Connect app for Android has been updated with improvements such as:

• Only auto search for devices on Trusted Wi-Fi networks
• Quick buttons to Send Files and Send Clipboard in the persistent notification
• Full support for the latest versions of Android
• Enhancements for stability and performance

System technologies with better hardware compatibility and security

Many of the built-in system technologies have seen improvements for better security, compatibility, and performance.

Zorin OS 15.3 is now powered by the Linux kernel version 5.4 – the same version as in Ubuntu 20.04. In addition to performance, stability, and security improvements, it brings support for more hardware such as Intel’s newly-announced 11th generation Core processors, upcoming AMD processors & GPUs, and other peripherals. This means that Zorin OS will “just work” with even more computers and devices.

We’ve also included the latest security patches for all software in Zorin OS out of the box, so you can have the peace of mind knowing that you’re using the most secure version of Zorin OS ever.

The Zorin OS 15 release series will continue to be supported with software updates and security patches until April 2023.
