[LINUX] ZorinOS new beta version is ready for testing [ANNOUNCE]

Hi Serey! Today I'm telling about a little bit windows-alike Linux OS called ZorinOS. It might be quite interesting for those who want the familiar-to-win experience. ## Announce The [Zorin OS](https://distrowatch.com/zorin) team has published a new beta release which offers enhanced performance and a preview of features to come in Zorin OS 15. The beta is based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 and includes a night mode, the ability to connect to Android devices to sync notifications, share files and send text messages between the two devices. Flatpak support has also been added to the distribution and is available by default. >"After a long development cycle, we're excited to introduce the beta of the next major version of our operating system: Zorin OS 15. Creating a Linux desktop operating system that's designed for everyone - not only the engineers and power users - has always been the mission of Zorin OS, ever since the first release nearly 10 years ago. Zorin OS 15 takes this decade-long effort and amplifies it to the next level. Every aspect of the user experience has been re-considered and refined in this new release, from how apps are installed, to how you get work done, to how it interacts with the devices around you. The result is a desktop experience that combines the most powerful desktop technology with the most user-friendly design. This is a pre-release beta version which we have created to get your feedback and bug reports on what we've built so far."
