Zorin OS Review – The BEST Linux Switch from Windows (www.youtube.com)

I made the switch to Linux (mint) at the start of the year, and I'm fairly happy but it's not been without issues. I came across Zorin and it seems like the perfect OS to switch friends and family to coming from Windows.

I also like that they have a solid monetization strategy.

What's your thoughts?

I think most users wouldn't care about qt vs GTK.

I will say- zorin is solid. It's very, very close to that windows look and feel which would make that transition easier. I think that, KDE Debian, mint, fedora (to some extent) are all great transition distros. But zorin absolutely mimics the feel of windows the best (not my cup of tea personally but I'm not the target demo.)
