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.
