ZDNET Shows Free Zorin OS Tweaks for MacOS-Like Desktop, Avoiding $47.99 Pro License

1 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jun 29

ZDNET outlined a no-cost way to make Zorin OS resemble MacOS, positioning the free edition as an alternative to buying Zorin OS Pro.
The guide says users can start with the GNOME layout in Zorin Appearance, then move titlebar buttons from right to left to mimic MacOS window controls.
Built-in tools handle most of the rest: enabling Zorin Dash adds a dock, while Zorin Menu places an app menu on the top bar.
A downloaded MacOS-style wallpaper completes the look, while the paid shortcut remains a $47.99 Pro license that must be repurchased on major upgrades such as Zorin OS 19.
