lol, ignore this guy. the best part of linux is that if you don’t like something, you can just switch. in the community a lot of people do this thing called distrohopping where they move from one distribution (e.g. Zorin) to another (e.g. Linux Mint) to try different things out. i personally suggest trying out Mint first, and if you don’t like it or are feeling like trying something new out, move to another distro that looks interesting to you. as long as you have an installer and an ubuntu base, most questions/issues you’ll have are a quick google search away.

if you’re really into the Zorin aesthetic, Mint comes with a cinnamon flavor (a flavor is an official image of the same distribution with some differences from the other flavors. in most cases, this means the official Linux Mint team will create different installations for different Desktop Environments (i.e. Gnome, KDE Plasma, etc)). cinnamon is lightweight and very, very easy to use. it’s much more customizable than Gnome, not so much as KDE Plasma, so it offers a good balance between the two. imo, it’s a great DE to pick up in the beginning. there’s a lot of guides on how to customize it to your liking, so you can look those up to help. along the way, you’ll explore the settings of your DE and become more familiar with your computer. this is basically the entire point of ricing (imo).

though it might not seem like it at first, the vast majority of linux community is willing to go a long way to help you out. after all, there’s no real customer service here: we just rely on each other.
