Bookmem Posted April 13, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted April 14, 2023 Share 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.
