Zorin OS Review – The BEST Linux Switch from Windows (www.youtube.com)

I made the switch to Linux (mint) at the start of the year, and I'm fairly happy but it's not been without issues. I came across Zorin and it seems like the perfect OS to switch friends and family to coming from Windows.

I also like that they have a solid monetization strategy.

What's your thoughts?

They seem to very much focus on a smooth UX for people trying Linux for the first time. It seems to be made idiot proof, so it won't frustrate new users and would meet all the needs of the vast majority of users

It's just GNOME with a different theme by default...

Exactly, its smooth and integrated but looks like Windows style menus and task bar.

It's GNOME with a lot of hand holding and guidance, which is what your average user is used to and wants. Most people here aren't the target audience for Zorin as we probably already run Linux
