    Zorin OS 18 works perfectly in Parallels Desktop 26 on Intel, where it is also present as an explicit Linux distribution to choose; on Apple Silicon, you can try it in emulation mode, but it will be really slow (Ubuntu, on which it is based, is a rather heavy distro).

    No it's not working perfectly I would not have posted this. Tools didn't work for me and neither did the install? It was very slow hardware didn't seem correct? I will try again but it didn't work here.

    ^^^ Is your host (the Mac) Intel or Apple Silicon (M series)...? If the latter, Zorin OS will be very slow, as it would be x86_64 emulated on Arm. Which version of Parallels Desktop (the older versions probably don't have support for Zorin OS, even if it is based on Ubuntu)...? Other details...?
