Zorin OS 16.1 now available with LibreOffice 7.3 and improved hardware support

Last summer, around August, they gave us the latest major update to this operating system that is, in part, designed to lure Windows users to Linux. Today, some seven months later, have made official launch of Zorin 16.1, a launch with fewer novelties, but that comes with some other noteworthy. For example, they have included new versions of the applications installed by default.

The Zorin OS 16.1 release note highlights that it includes LibreOffice 7.3, the latest version of the most popular free office suite. Seeing that (after a text of support for the Ukrainians) the first thing they mention about the operating system is the new version of LibreOffice, one can get worried, but there are also other new features that can improve the user experience.
