On August 1, Artyom Zorin had the great pleasure of announcing the immediate availability for download of the final release of his Zorin OS 10 GNU/Linux operating system, distributed as Core and Ultimate editions, based on Ubuntu 15.04.

It would appear that the release notes have not been changed from the RC (Release Candidate) version of the Zorin OS 10 distribution, so we will have to recapitulate some of them in this article. First of all, the Zorin OS developers have stated that this is their best, most beautiful release yet, as it includes major visual changes to the desktop layout through the addition of a new font, and a stunning new icon theme based on elementary OS' icons.

Additionally, new theme colors have been added to the Zorin Theme Changer application, including Red, Orange, and Green, the Zorin Menu can now be customized to the max, and the Zorin Look Changer tool is easier to use than ever. Zorin OS 10 is powered by Ubuntu's Linux 3.19 kernel and systemd init system and service manager, and comes with Zorin Web Browser Manager, a tool that allows users to install additional web browsers in the distribution.

"Zorin OS 10 is our best, most beautiful release yet. We have made major strides with the visual styling in Zorin OS. In addition to the refined & perfected desktop theme and the new default FreeSans desktop font, we have introduced a stunning new icon theme, based on the elementary and elementary-add icon themes. This is its first major overhaul since Zorin OS 2.0," says Artyom Zorin.

The new apps in Zorin OS 10

Another big change in Zorin OS 10 is the default set of applications, which now include the awesome Geary Mail client, a Calendar app, an Activity Journal software, a streamlined new Media Player, and many more that you will have to discover for yourself when using the operating system.
