Zorin OS is much more straight forward than Windows 11.

Why are people promoting this, all of a sudden?

Edit: I went to the website and saw the "Pro" paid option. It's starting to make sense now.

They just released a new version a few days ago that's really solid and aims to be a drop-in replacement for Windows. It's probably the most beginner friendly distro out there and has stuff like Onedrive/MS 365 integration for people using that stuff.

The paid version is useless unless you need support.
