    I’m mostly amazed that they discovered it. When I think of a good transition distro this is not what comes to mind. Must have been some kind of targeted ad campaign. Also there’s probably a ton of people that think no good software could possibly be free.

      Zorin? Its a great transition distro. Clean aesthetic, with back end gnome tweaks so you can have it look like KDE/windows. Software store made easy. Everything seems to work OOTB.

        This was my guess. This shit doesn’t come from nowhere. My bet is that some big wig or VC backed it and is trying to get ROI.

          Nah, y’all just young. Zorin’s designed to look extremely Windows-like, and they’ve always gotten a bump when Microsoft has a stroke. Last time they grew a lot was Windows 8.

          If anything, this is just a sign of how badly Microsoft has fucked up with Windows 11.

            I’ve been running linux for decades and I only heard of it those past few months. But then I never used YouTube or social stuff much, maybe they communicate there.
