Amazing distro for linux beginners and students!
Used it when I first began my linux journey and in my opinion looks more modern / better than default cinnamon.
Unfortunately I grew out of it and moved to fedora because I like their twice a year update model.
Ah, I remember Zorin. It was my first distro. I eventually moved on to Debian and Trisquel, though.
This is an excellent starting point for new converts, but if you want a more “Windows-esque” experience, I’d recommend Kubuntu or KDE Neon (Plasma is the most Windows-like DE in my opinion).
Neon is bleeding edge showcase for Plasma, might not be good for beginners.
No, Cinnamon and MATE are much more Windows like DEs. KDE is awful for a new user and anyone that doesn’t want to spend a ton of time setting options. The options are overwhelmingly fucking stupid in it… and how they are laid out is moronic compared to something sane like XFCE that has much better defaults.
A new user should use Cinnamon, it’s the most Windows-like by far.
KDE is laughably bad compared to basically every other major DE, unless you have no life and want to configure every small detail… and what’s worse? You will have to because the defaults are ass.
XFCE > Cinnamon > MATE > KDE + GNOME tied in ass place for almost opposite yet somehow similar reasons. KDE let’s you configure everything from irrationally organized settings panels, and you have to because the defaults are ass. GNOME simplifies everything but if you don’t like it, fuck you.
God, someone is sour.

I forgot all about Zorin. They’re doing well it seems.
