"This release bumps the suggested alternatives for Windows apps by more than 40 percent to a total of 240 applications. This is one of Zorin OS’s niche features, recommending users tailored alternatives to sideloading their Windows executables."
That's a pretty far cry from what the title of the article suggests. Clickbait.
Zorin needs to go the Mint way, provide an Ubuntu based distro without the Snap bullshit.
Then I'd 100% be down to install it and even recommend it to everyone.
Linux Mint is ok, but I really prefer KDE. However, the way Zorin has configured Gnome is extremely nice and I enjoyed it very much. I could totally see myself use it as a daily driver.
Did you mean Debian based? or really just Ubuntu reconfigured to remove Snap.
I was actually pleasantly surprised when I found out how easily it was to configure GNOME to look more like KDE, especially after reading so much about it to be opinionated. I also like KDEs layout more but GNOME consistencies is what makes me stick with it.
Just need Dash to Panel (which I believe is forked of Zorins original work which Zorin now forks itself) and ArcMenu also add DING for Desktop Icons cause they are cozy.
Mint has both Ubuntu-based and Debian-based editions. IMO, I don't really see what benefit comes from using Ubuntu as a base, other than compatibility with PPAs or apps that expect Ubuntu-specific versions of libraries.

You can cut out snap yourself from Ubuntu as I did ❤️. But I use flatpak.
Yeah I know.
But in the coming LTS, 26.04, it won't be possible workout breaking your system apparently.
