Zorin OS 12.1 Released
Zorin OS 12.1 point release has been announced by the popular Linux distro’s development team. The new update features an improved X Server, Linux kernel 4.8, and updated HWE stack. Other than various security fixes, the Zorin OS 12.1 also includes various visual changes and updated versions of software packages.

Building upon the last major upgrade, the Zorin Group has pushed the first point release, Zorin OS 12.1, of the Ubuntu-based Linux distribution.
Zorin OS 12.1 flaunts the same Zorin Desktop 2.0 (a fork of GNOME) we have seen in the case of Zorin OS 12. Other than major bug fixes and security patches, Zorin OS 12.1 comes with various under-the-hood updates. Just like its daddy Ubuntu 16.04.2, Zorin 12.1 also includes the Linux kernel 4.8 with an updated HWE stack and X server for improved hardware compatibility.

The Zorin Group sells the open-source OS as a Linux-based replacement for Microsoft Windows. Surely, they would have to include all the features to stand in front of Windows. Visual improvements include an ‘Add to Desktop’ option in the Zorin menu. To add an app to the desktop, a user can choose the option from its context menu.

Download Zorin OS 12.1

As always, the users who already have the Zorin OS 12 installed on their machines can go to the Software Center and install the Zorin 12.1.

Poco F2 Pro 5G Officially Launched Globally With Snapdragon 865

By
After months of wait, Poco has officially launched Poco F2 Pro. The phone is a sequel to the Poco F1 which was a huge success for the company back in 2018. It is also the second Poco contender in 2020. In February, the Poco brand revealed a new phone lineup and launched Poco X2. The phone was priced at Rs 15,999 and featured similar specs of Redmi K30, a Xiaomi flagship that was launched back in 2018. The company has applied the same strategy for today’s launch. As we expected, Poco F2 Pro bundles all the specs of Redmi K30 Pro that Xiaomi launched last month.
