    Zorin OS is the distro for windows refugees. Nothing else even comes close.

      Why? Never hear of it. What makes it better conpared to other popular distros? And how does it serve the need of Windoofs refugees better?

        UI/UX is head and shoulders above the other distros, especially mint.

        Every time someone recommends mint to a new user I cringe. Mint has a ton of issues. Not the least of which the fact that it commonly completely breaks itself on an update.

        But Zorin is so much better because everything has a GUI element. All settings, absolutely everything. On my bare metal Linux machine with my quite complicated setup I didn’t have to touch terminal once. It was a wonderful experience.

        I did end up having to set an env var for Wayland eventually (via terminal), but I blame that on AMD graphics and sdl being stupid.

        The UX provided by Zorin is so far ahead of the other distros it isn’t even a contest.

      Zorin OS has done great work with making GNOME more usable/accessible.

      KDE was fairly seamless for me, my workflow basically didn’t change from Windows. It’s still a bit messy, but they are getting there.
