What’s the advantage of zorinos? According to wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorin_OS it’s judt ubuntu with gnome 3 or xfce 4.
I hope we can separate the DE from the OS some day
It’s a very beginner-friendly distro, similar in goals to Linux Mint but more modern. It’s stable, comes pre-installed with graphics drivers and important apps like Wine, a custom clean version of Gnome or XFCE, and having a lot of UX improvements like explaining what Wine is the first time you open an exe file, and providing popular alternatives for the app you’re trying to install.
There’s nothing brand new about it, it’s just really solid and I do recommend it as people’s first distro.
Second this. Zorin OS, and Mandriva Linux (before they went bankrupt, and the community picked up development) were my first exposure to Linux over a decade ago, and the ux familiarity really helps a ton.
A lot of the other distros had funny stuff going on with multiple docks, open apps showing in the top dock, others looked like a Stardock Special and it was just a little confusing for younger me lol

We had that from the beginning of X. It could abstract nicely from all unices and even a little M$.
That era ended (unintentionally) with the dawn of KDE and GNOME, and I’m afraid it won’t come back with Wayland.
“With the new Desktop Cube, you can switch between workspaces in 3D. Your app windows float off the desktop surface with a parallax effect, so you can see behind them,” said the Zorin OS team. “There’s also the new Spatial Window Switcher, which replaces the standard flat Alt+Tab and Super+Tab dialog with a 3D window switcher.”
Compiz Fusion is an idea and ideas never die
What was old is new!
