Swarf, what do you think of all the bugs in 16. Restarting your computer will probably get things sped up for awhile anyways so ya. So its a known bug thus I am hoping that it gets fixed soon. Now the reason it wasn't obvious at first is because I am running a quad core machine, and as such, its doing what it was designed to do, span the CPU load over the several cores, so the system doesn't bog down. I found this out by looking at my CPU load in Htop. I discovered it because gnome shell is using 100% CPU usage. It effects many users and so its not an isolated case. Others have a more modern computer with an i5 processor and. Now i have Zorin OS 12 Core on an old Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2.5 GHz computer and Zorin OS 12 Core 32-bit runs smooth and fast like a train. And maybe OS 6 would be best for much older computers, like Pentium 4's and possibly Pentium III's.ĮDIT: There also appears to be a bug with gnome shell in regards to Ubuntu 16.04. On the Dutch community forum of Zorin OS i have people complaining that Zorin OS 12 Core is much slower and some have no problems about speed. I previously recommended OS 12 core for older computers but I am starting to rethink that based on my observations of Gnome Shell 3 requirements. If you have an older I3-I5 dual core, I'd recommend maybe OS 9 as a better solution. I think that many Linux users are too used to their Linux distro's using less then 1GB of ram, but always remember that Windows uses so much more so its really not that bad. While system monitor does show 1.6GB of memory used while idle, that is still far less then Windows 7 requires running idle. And My notebook came with 8GB of memory which I upgraded to 16GB for heavy gaming needs. My computer is an I7 Quad core running at 2.2GHZ, with turbo up to 3GHZ.

I know its a resource hog, but keep in mind that Zorin OS 12 was released November of 2016, nearly 2017, I really can't imagine someone really wanting to run OS 12 on an old I3-I5 dual core.
#Zorin os 12 core drivers#
I never ever said that Gnome 3 didn't run slow on newer computer's. Answer (1 of 3): You must enable the proprietary drivers for the WLAN card and the way to do it is that you have to open the ‘ Software & Updates’ then click.
