Zorin? Its a great transition distro. Clean aesthetic, with back end gnome tweaks so you can have it look like KDE/windows. Software store made easy. Everything seems to work OOTB.

    But KDE isn't as integrated throughout the system like GNOME, on Zorin you have 4 desktops styles you can choose that range from GNOME like to KDE like without having to switch DEs.

    I know KDE is highly customizable, but it doesn't have the smooth feel of GNOME, and for a distro where their whole vibe is a clean aesthetic GNOME makes more sense

    Zorin is a smooth clean aesthetic, and GNOME has that integration into everything, making the system feel polished. So when a user transitions to Zorin you can stay on same DE and have it windows like, and later choose 1 of the 4 styles of interface without tweaking.

    KDE Is amazing for customization, but with Zorin being so focused on being a polished UX, GNOME makes more sense.
