Based onUbuntu (as manyLinux distributions are), Zorin OSdoesn’t

looktoo dissimilar to Windows, making it a goodchoice for anyone

who’s thinking of switching fromMicrosoft’s operating system. This

update improves the interface’s appearance, with a more welcoming

desktop theme,new animations andLight andDark modes. There’s a

touch interface, too, andyou can evenlinkyour Androiddevice to your

PC. Zorin OS15 uses Linux kernel 4.18 andGNOME 3.30. Several

versions are available, but the freeCore edition is the one you want.

note-taking app that helpsyou planyour day.

Anyonewho’s frustratedwith WindowsFile

Explorer’s clunkyapproach to navigation will

appreciate XYplorer, which offers a muchquicker

way to flit between locations. Handy tools in the

main ribbonmenulet you jumpstraight to recent

locations or viewfolder sizes. You can searchfor

filesbyname, date andsize or use keywords and

phrases within a document. However, the real

bonus is the ability to findandremove duplicate

filesthat are cloggingupyour PC. Sadly, the free

version of XYplorer hasn’t beenupdated since

2016,but it’s still anexcellent tool that works

perfectly in Windows10.

DoubleCommanderoffers

a tabs-basedinterface and

plenty of useful tools for

advancedusers, but it lacks

someof XYplorer’s more

universal settings, suchas

a duplicate file finder.

Searches can beslow

andthe results poorly

displayed, while the

interface looks as if it was

designed 20 years ago. It’s

also frustratingto use.
