I have tried a bunch of distros...Zorin is the most "everything just works" flavor.
It's good looking, and like most distros it has an app store, but it is the only one I have tried where every different kind of install package can just be double clicked on and it installs. No fuss. It's perfect for the non-tech people who don't want to buy a new computer to get Windows 11.
(Bazzite still has it beat for windows games though.)
Haven't looked at it in ages, but last I knew the whole philosophy was to be as Windows-like as possible to make it easy for people to switch. I never went for it because they charge for more complete versions.
Clean, easy distro to directly displace Windows. There next step is releasing Grid, which they claim will be a way for company admins to manage company wide deployments, configuration and updates.
It uses GNOME but they customized the backend so it doesn't look or act much like GNOME

I've never used ZorinOS honestly what's it about? What's the philosophy?
