Bookmem Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) I'm pretty much a Mint user but just read an article about Zorin OS. There is a paid version but, for now, I'm trying the free one. Anyone have any opinions about it? So far, I don't see much difference between it and Mint. Edited April 13, 2023 by Bookmem Quote

But the Windows support is based on Wine, and I prefer running Windows apps in Vbox, so I didn't install the Zorin Windows support app. Edited April 13, 2023 by Bookmem Quote
raymac46 Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 In my dotage I have adopted the "Horses for Courses" model where I run 3 different OSs: Windows 11 on a fairly recent desktop and laptop. ChromeOS on a Chromebook (mostly for the grandkids.) Linux on everything else - old laptops and desktops. I don't see the need for emulation or VMs except in the case of cloud data servers. Never have liked Wine and now I just don't use VBox any longer. I am still distro hopping to an extent but Mint, Debian and Arch keep me engaged and happy. Zorin is likely a nice distro but for me it is a solution in search of a problem. For any new user who wants to try out Linux I would just install Mint. Quote
