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 love KDE plasma, but I find that it has way too many customizations. I like Gnome's approach of simplicity and integrating everything well. I just don't like their default desktop paradigm. They tried to do something different and too simple and it pushed a lot of people away or required heavy customizations line Zorin did. Zorin desktop is what Gnome should've been.
