From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Distributions nowadays are defined by their desktop bling :(

It used to be that you could just install whatever desktop you fancied on pretty much any distro.

Can you install MacOS by Zorin™ on something else? I suppose there's a source repository somewhere and you can always compile it if you really want it…

There's a gnome extension (ArcMenu) that's inspired by Zorin that's simply a better and more customizable version of all of zorin's desktop themes (and more). You can get it on any Linux
