when installing zorin 17 pro there is an option to install nvidia drivers as part of the installation or use the other option listed. which option do I choose? I have an rtx 4080. Is it better to go with generic drivers during installation and add nvivia drivers later? The mere question makes it sound iffy during that point of the process. Any advice? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

Back in my reckless youth I was a Microsoft Windows user. I’ve gotten over that now. However, in distancing myself from Windows I find there are a couple of functions I miss.

If there is a way of getting my Zorin OS Office spreadsheet to do likewise I’m hoping someone out there could point me in the right direction. Thanks, HankB 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more
