It’s very simple, and just works out of the gate well. It’s ubuntu without the spyware. I’m sure there are many other distros similar, what linux distro do you like?

I haven’t used Zorin. From what I’ve read about it it’s issue right now is that it’s not updated very often. I think it’s main appeal is that it has similar vibes to Windows, which makes it attractive for people who want to try Linux for the first time, I guess.
The distribution I used when moving to Linux was Mint, which is also a smooth transition from Windows due to its desktop environment. Also based on Ubuntu, but is updated more often. It also works flawlessly (at least in my time with it).
Right now I’m using Pop OS, and I’m quite happy with it, although I am experiencing some freezes since a couple of updates ago…
I’ve seen Pop grow and grow in pop ularity a lot this past year. I will say, Zorin 16.1 is supposed to have regular updates supported until April 2025. I did get a software update that included something for the linux kernel. That being said, I would give pop os a try in the future.
Oh, I was thinking about testing Zorin, it looks nice, but I still want a regularly updated disto.
I’ve used PopOS a bit, was a pretty good experience, I’m waiting for their Cosmic DE to release, I hope it’ll work well.
It does look beautiful! I didn’t mean to discourage anyone from trying it out. I just remember hearing/reading that it is not updated very regularly, but hey, I used an LTS system for way longer than I should have and I was perfectly happy with it. It’s not always about having the latest, must updated software. Maybe you want something stable, or something that looks nice and works. To each his own, I say.
I’m also excited about the Cosmic DE! My issue is that I try to not change my system unless I have too, since I use my computer mainly for work and loosing a couple of days setting everything up is more work that it’s worth it for me. So I don’t know when I’ll get a chance to try it out.
Yeah I’ll try it, I will probably do some distro hopping, I think between Fedora / Silverblue / Nobara, PopOS and Zorin.
True, better to not change too many things and avoid screwing your setup lol
