Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Is Zorin OS Dead? It certainly seems like it. reports came out they would roll out an 18.04.1 version of their popular Distro in the fall of 2018, here we are in the new year and nothing.
Probably the biggest thorn in their side is PlayOnLinux which is still in Alpha, the current stable version still relies on dated Wine and many of the apps have broken links.
Wine 4.0 is out and kernel 5 is just around the corner. What does everyone else think?
I would think not. Somebody uploaded desktop themes to Zorin's github account 14 days ago.
What is possible is that development has slowed. The software is free; time, unfortunately is not. Things like families, and the people in our lives rightly demand our time.
So we have a verdict. It may have slowed, but it's not stopped. Sometimes small organizations are slowed by big changes, upgrades or the like as they test several permutations on multiple systems. A change e.g. from sysvinit to systemd could cause a whole pile of issues. Ditto (As I have discovered) adding certain large python apps.
as (former) mod of Zorin forum I can tell you Zorin OS is close to final V15.
just google 'Zorin blog' and take the beta version for download if you are interested.
