    I also don’t mind if they are “selling” nothing, or just a supporter icon. As long as they are transparent that that is all you are getting.

      That’s pretty much it, right? ZorinOS Pro gives you some more desktop layouts, more wallpapers, and what they call “Zorin Installation Support service”. Basically like buying a hat in a free game.

      But the “Advanced productivity tools” one is a bit misleading, apparently it’s stuff anyone can install from the store it just pre-installs some unnamed apps for you.

      I don’t mind selling some cosmetic stuff to fund development, the app thing is a bit shady though.

        Agree. I wouldn’t even mind it if they were more open about what they’re actually doing, as picking a well working set of apps from the sea open-source apps can have value.

        That said, if you read through that site it feels like they want to appear like it’s them who created all that software.
