I'd be surprised if he does. If he's "sick and tired" of hearing about Zorin, it's because Zorin is getting a lot of deservedly good reviews from the Windows crowd right now. If it really were ass he'd have nothing to say about it. The only social media I'm on is Lemmy, and I tried Zorin because it was highly ranked on Distrowatch, so if people are getting "astroturfed" elsewhere it's news to me.
But you should know I tried over twenty (conservative estimate) distros before I settled on Zorin. USB drives are cheap, and you can try as many distros as you like without ever having to install one. Don't take my word for it, nor his: buy a handful of USB drives, create some LiveUSBs and start trying out whatever distros catch your attention. I found distrowatch.com to be a good front page to the distro world, with rankings and extremely detailed reviews: start there if you're looking for a fairly exhaustive list of what's out there.
i appreciate it!
It is one of the problems with Linux and why it will take a very long time if ever would become mainstream.
Even the Linux users can't agree on what distro to recommend.
