Here is everything you need to know about this specific version.

Zorin OS 17.2, Zorin OS Pro Lite, lightweight Linux, multilingual operating system, free alternative to Windows 11, old PC revival, Xfce desktop, French language Linux.

Zorin is not Microsoft. It is a small team of about 10-15 developers in Ireland. Buying the Pro edition ($39) directly funds the development of the free Core and Lite editions.

The French translation for Zorin 17.2 is 99.9% complete. You will not find broken English strings in the menus, a common issue with smaller distros.

The inclusion of "Multilingue" in the keyword is crucial for non-English speakers, particularly in Francophone Africa, Canada, France, and Belgium.

The answer lies in Zorin’s generous philosophy. Zorin OS (GNOME) and Lite (Xfce) are permanently free. The "Pro" version includes 11 extra desktop layouts (MacOS, Windows 11, GNOME 2, etc.) and premium software pre-installed.
