The best one I've ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn't be compatible.

"It doesn't have the Microsoft store" he said; after which my friend and I facepalmed so hard that it might have caused us a concussion.

    One of my favourite things about Mint is that it has a Software Center with ratings and reviews. It's what tipped me over from installing Zorin OS.

    ZorinOS is just inferior in every aspect tbh. I had it and then I started using mint instead of it. Zorin is laggy, consumes too much ram even when idle, and looks like an unfinished product in its current form. I actually had more trouble using Zorin than using Mint as a new Linux user.
