This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Bruh ain't no way people are choosing Zorin OS over all the available options.
If this is a result of people searching "best windows like distro", they're profiting off of a windows theme for GNOME, not even a full DE.
You can achieve the same thing with zero effort on any distro because DEs and themes aren't tied to a distro.
I think you vastly overestimate the amount of effort most people are willing to expend for things like this.
Even if most of those trying it out eventually go back to Windows, this is still great for Linux!
I really hope these people don't accept that it's normal to charge for different desktop environments.
They’re not doing anything that’s violating licenses. I’m happy there’s different options. Having paid support is pretty cool if you’re a school or never ran Linux before. Other users will choose other distros. We should be happy, not tear into each other.
I downloaded Mint last week and started the installation but got cold feet when it came to drive formatting. I still want to keep my win10 operational in case I won't be able to run something on Linux.
I never actually used Linux before... I installed it 3 times before and always quickly went back to windows due to some compatibility or driver issues, but...
I am NOT switching to win11... It's enough that I am forced to use it at work. That system is so fuckin stupid... They took a lot of minor elements and just made each of them worse... I get that the sales department told you to shove OneDrive and Copilot everywhere, it's stupid and annoying but I get it, it's just plain old greed, but why can't the Calendar show the whole month and don't work on the second monitor?!? (Are you planning to add it as a paid subscription later?!?)
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
More!! More! Everybody get others into Linux Mint and Pop OS Cosmic as well!! I am doing my part if we want better we must grow the community
Penguin sounds intensify
How popular is it against other distros? First I've heard of it (admittedly doesn't say much since I'm used to the older ones), which makes me wonder how close to a million people did. Did influencers spread the word or something?
I've noticed Zorin does a lot of marketing and it comes in waves, you won't hear anything for months then it'll be everywhere for a few days.
Decade of the Linux Desktop. It’s here guys!
