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?

I briefly considered Zorin and Bazzite on my journey from Mint. I dropped Zorin I think because I was looking for something that was on a newer kennel to support my new graphics card.

Bazzite I dropped because I think it looked like it was all snaps.

Running Fedora now. It's a far stretch from the Red Hat I played with 20 years ago. I think after running Mint for so long,

Bazzite doesn't even support Snaps...

Hmm, you are right. I was thinking of flatpak. I had made it a habit to avoid those formats way back in my slashdot days and never revisited it.

Flatpak is more or less the default option now.

Yeah, it's pretty common with Fedora too I think. I didn't even investigate and ended up making the final decision by gut. I was more interest in running an older established flavor than trying something new.
