The Linux Laptop Company
Built for people leaving Windows. Already on the laptop.
Zorin OS is the Ubuntu-based desktop designed so a Windows user can sit down and find the files, the browser, and the Wi-Fi. We install it on a current Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, or Asus, test every radio, and ship UPS Ground in 3–5 business days. Manufacturer warranty stays on the machine.
What is Zorin OS on a laptop from us?
Zorin OS is built for the person leaving Windows: a layout that still has a menu, windows that behave, apps that look like apps. Underneath it is Ubuntu LTS, which is why printers, Wi-Fi chipsets, and how-to docs tend to cooperate.
It is not Linux Mint, and it is not “Windows themes on Ubuntu.” Zorin has its own desktop layout and a software store aimed at that switch. If you want Cinnamon specifically, pick Linux Mint instead.
We install current Zorin OS, confirm the wireless card associates with a normal home router, and ship UPS Ground in 3–5 business days, tracking emailed. You keep the OEM warranty.
Who this is for
- People leaving Windows 10 or 11 who want a familiar desktop on day one
- Families and offices that need Firefox, LibreOffice, and a local login
- Anyone who was told “try Zorin” and does not want to be the one flashing a USB stick
- Ubuntu users who prefer Zorin’s layout to stock GNOME
How we install it
On the product page, set Linux Distribution to Zorin. We install current Zorin OS with its usual layout. GNOME, KDE Plasma, and the rest of our desktop list are there if you want a different session.
Ubuntu LTS remains the shop default. Zorin is one checkbox away. Same radio testing, same 3–5 day ship.
Still need Windows for one app? Dual-boot is an add-on. Zorin on one partition, Windows on the other, BIOS boot menu each time it starts.
Pick a laptop on the shop. Set Linux Distribution to Zorin. Desktop defaults to GNOME if you want the usual setup for this distro. A Linux engineer installs, configures, and tests the machine. It ships UPS Ground, typically 3–5 business days, tracking emailed before it leaves.
Other distros we install
Ubuntu LTS is the shop default. These pages cover the distros people pick on the product page. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, MX Linux, Solus, Nobara, and LMDE are still available on the product page.

Zorin OS laptop FAQs
Is Zorin OS the same as Linux Mint?
No. Both are kind defaults if you are leaving Windows. Mint is Cinnamon on Ubuntu LTS. Zorin is its own layout on Ubuntu LTS. Pick the one you want on the product page.
Will my .docx files and Wi-Fi work?
LibreOffice opens the documents from school. We test Wi-Fi, audio, webcam, Bluetooth, and touchscreen before the box leaves. If a radio fails, it does not ship.
Do you install Zorin OS Core?
We install current Zorin OS at configuration time. Call 877-547-3638 if you need a specific edition.
Do you build these Zorin laptops?
No. We source new name-brand machines, install Zorin OS, and test them. You keep the manufacturer hardware warranty.
Can I dual-boot Zorin with Windows?
Yes. Dual-boot is an optional add-on. We partition the drive and the BIOS boot menu asks which OS to load each time the machine starts.
