Honestly I don't mind 11. It's miles better than 10 ever was IMO. However with that being said, Linux is better. I have to dual boot Windows 11 on my computer because unfortunately there's no way I can use my Elgato Capture Device on a Linux machine.

Zorin OS is the distro for windows refugees. Nothing else even comes close.

Why? Never hear of it. What makes it better conpared to other popular distros? And how does it serve the need of Windoofs refugees better?

UI/UX is head and shoulders above the other distros, especially mint.

Every time someone recommends mint to a new user I cringe. Mint has a ton of issues. Not the least of which the fact that it commonly completely breaks itself on an update.

But Zorin is so much better because everything has a GUI element. All settings, absolutely everything. On my bare metal Linux machine with my quite complicated setup I didn't have to touch terminal once. It was a wonderful experience.

I did end up having to set an env var for Wayland eventually (via terminal), but I blame that on AMD graphics and sdl being stupid.

The UX provided by Zorin is so far ahead of the other distros it isn't even a contest.

Tried using Alma on my rig at home (since I'm using it on my servers), and I'm already going to be looking for a new distro. Went back to it after a week or so not having the energy to deal with it and apps like Firefox and steam wouldn't launch.
