Embracing the idea of open source, the Italian city of Vincenza has decided to install the Linux distribution Zorin OS, replacing the Microsoft Windows operating system. This may have initially started as a test on a number of computers in the city municipality, according to insiders.

This development is inspired by a project carried out at the Institute of Via Prati last summer, where the last volunteer parent, Albano Battistella, installed Zorin OS on all the lab computers. This allowed the school to use outdated computers more efficiently and at zero cost.
Zorin OS is an Ubuntu-based Linux distro that offers a Windows-like user experience, making the transition from Windows easier. This powerful and flexible operating system has a Windows 7 feel, but the system could be customized to look like GNOME 2 as well as Windows XP.

This pilot program was announced by Filippo Zanetti, advisor for Simplification of Procedures and Innovation at the Municipality of Vicenza. Its simplicity and similarity to the Windows environment are the perfect combination.
Since the operating system is based on the most popular open source operating system Ubuntu, it offers the necessary stability and effective security measures.
After this trial run, Zorin OS Linux will replace all 700 workstations used by 895 municipality employees.
