you can do a search in the software manager and see if there are any specific diagnostic utilities for zorin. however since most are run from a bootable disk, no operating system is needed.

I repeat, you can download diagnostic utilities to run from a disk. It does not require any operating system because it is running from a disk. Once such diagnostic utility is seatools for dos. IT WILL diagnose your actual harddrive.

the following will test your memory

You may also be able to run tests from your bios without downloading anything.

Diagnostic tools on linux

Ok. I think there is a miscommunication. The reason why I wanted to find some diagnostic tools in linux, for diagnosing my hard drive or other things was because I am trying to learn linux. I hear there are many tools that you can run in linux to help fix computers. I am running linux mint through a flash drive for now. So I don't have a "linux computer" but I am using the "linux" operating system.
I am very interested in learning linux. It seems very cool. I am looking for software programs in the software manager program, but I can't find any utilities or diagnostic programs.
You told me about Seatools, and Bios, and I am not interested in that. I am interesting in learning the linux operating system.
I would appreciate it if you don't have anything to say on this to not yell at me for I am just a beginner and trying a new operating system.

Thank you
