Nah, y'all just young. Zorin's designed to look extremely Windows-like, and they've always gotten a bump when Microsoft has a stroke. Last time they grew a lot was Windows 8.

If anything, this is just a sign of how badly Microsoft has fucked up with Windows 11.

These kind of distros always existed. I'm pretty sure I still have CDs around with Lindows from around the same Mandrake and Knoppix was the cool stuff.

I've been running linux for decades and I only heard of it those past few months. But then I never used YouTube or social stuff much, maybe they communicate there.

It's been around quite a while, but I never heard it mentioned as much as in the last two months.
