Disadvantages of the distribution

Some of the disadvantages of the Zorin OS distribution can be:

2. Relatively limited software selection. Although Zorin OS includes some basic programs initially, it may not have as wide a selection of software as, for example, Ubuntu or Fedora.
3. Limited support. Because Zorin OS is not one of the most popular Linux distributions, it may not receive the same support and software updates as more popular distributions.
4. Not as advanced security features. Zorin OS may not offer as advanced security features as some other Linux distributions, which can be a problem for users who care about maximizing the protection of their data and system.

How to install the distribution with Russian localization

At the moment, Zorin OS does not have a fully Russian version. However, Zorin OS supports multiple languages, including Russian, and provides the option to install Russian language and Russian localization packages.

Steps to install Russian language and localization in Zorin OS:

1. Open SystemSettings from the main menu of Zorin OS.
