I am a former Windows XP user, and have downloaded the 32 bit Zorin 9.1 to a dvd. I tried just using the DVD, and am fairly satisfied, so I decided to go ahead and do a dual install on my computer. My computer is older, Dell, from 2003, and I am just trying out Zorin to stave off the inevitable buying of a new computer. I like the fact that the system seems more streamlined than my previous Windows experience. As soon as Microsoft discontinued their support of XP, I switched browsers over to Google Chrome.
The system DVD I burned came with Firefox loaded on, and I am used to using Chrome. Is there an easy way to switch over? I downloaded, and I can see it in my Software manager, but don't know how to "install" it, or make Chrome my default browser.
I also created a shortcut to my desktop for LibreOffice Calc, which looks to me like an excel-type spreadsheet, that I'll give a try.
I watch a LOT of youtube videos, and would like to find a program that will allow me to save to my computer. Any suggestions on this?
Also, I come to find that my tax software, Turbo Tax requires Windows to be the operating system. I have history using Turbo Tax and would like to continue using it.
So for me in the mean time, I think I'll just do the double booting, since I have so much on my system using windows. It's only been a couple days using my Zorin, so I am definitely a newbie.....perhaps all I need is a little more time to get comfortable with it.
