I’m mostly amazed that they discovered it. When I think of a good transition distro this is not what comes to mind. Must have been some kind of targeted ad campaign. Also there’s probably a ton of people that think no good software could possibly be free.
Zorin? Its a great transition distro. Clean aesthetic, with back end gnome tweaks so you can have it look like KDE/windows. Software store made easy. Everything seems to work OOTB.
But KDE isn’t as integrated throughout the system like GNOME, on Zorin you have 4 desktops styles you can choose that range from GNOME like to KDE like without having to switch DEs.
I know KDE is highly customizable, but it doesn’t have the smooth feel of GNOME, and for a distro where their whole vibe is a clean aesthetic GNOME makes more sense
Nah, y’all just young. Zorin’s designed to look extremely Windows-like, and they’ve always gotten a bump when Microsoft has a stroke. Last time they grew a lot was Windows 8.
If anything, this is just a sign of how badly Microsoft has fucked up with Windows 11.
These kind of distros always existed. I’m pretty sure I still have CDs around with Lindows from around the same Mandrake and Knoppix was the cool stuff.
I’ve been running linux for decades and I only heard of it those past few months. But then I never used YouTube or social stuff much, maybe they communicate there.

They’ve been astroturfing the fuck out of it for the last 6 weeks.
This was my guess. This shit doesn’t come from nowhere. My bet is that some big wig or VC backed it and is trying to get ROI.
