The action a Zorin OS laptop undertakes upon lid closure during the operating system installation process dictates whether the setup continues uninterrupted, pauses, or suspends. This behavior is governed by power management settings configured within the installer or inherited from the underlying system. For example, if the settings dictate a “suspend” action upon lid closure, the installation process will halt, potentially leading to data corruption or installation failure.
Understanding and controlling the action taken upon lid closure is crucial for ensuring a smooth and successful Zorin OS installation. Inadvertent suspension or hibernation can lead to partial installations requiring restarts or, in some cases, complete re-imaging of the drive. Historically, default power management profiles varied across Linux distributions, necessitating user awareness and potential adjustments for unattended installations or installations on laptops with sensitive lid sensors.
