One of the layouts resembles a classic Windows design and the other manages to look close to ChromeOS.

While you already get some choices for desktop layouts in the free version, the Pro edition gives you two more additional desktop layouts.

Some wallpapers could be limited to the Pro edition. In addition to the new visual changes, and features, you will also find new backgrounds to complement your desktop. So, if you need eye-candy animations, the lite edition may not be a suitable choice for you. Unfortunately, you do not get a jelly mode here, like in Zorin OS 16. The appearance options also received a refresh to let you easily customize the experience on Zorin OS 16 Lite. You can tweak the theme, toggle dark mode, and choose an accent color from the appearance menu. Zorin OS 16 Lite with Xfce 4.16 offers a refreshing user experience with a polished theme that resonates closely with Zorin OS 16 (GNOME edition). I have made a video of Pro edition of Zorin OS 16 Lite and you can see it in action: Usually, I do not like the Xfce desktop environment (just an aesthetic choice), but Zorin OS 16 Lite is different. Interestingly, Zorin OS 16 Lite has managed to offer a similar level of user experience and polish with Xfce as its desktop environment. I briefly tested the distribution for our video review and was pretty impressed. With this release, Zorin OS 16 Lite aims to bring all the improvements introduced in Zorin OS 16 by keeping the resource usage minimal. Note that if you have already purchased Zorin OS 16 Pro, the Pro Lite edition is included.

Yes, finally, Zorin OS 16 Lite is now available to download along with the Pro edition! However, it wasn’t available for Zorin OS 16 until now. Zorin OS provides a lite edition for every release powered by Xfce desktop environment for computers with limited resources. But, if you were looking for a lightweight distro or something for older computers, this wasn’t the option.
