Aside from obvious visual differences, how does this compare to Linux Mint?
- lproven 5y agoI've tested both. Very similar. Both are GNOME remodelled to be more Windows-like. Mint has its own fork, Cinnamon, with some nice new features such as a richer file manager and default accessories with proper menu bars, not GNOME's annoying "client-side decorations"; Zorin just adapts GNOME with extensions, AFAICT. Mint is free and has a large, active, helpful community. Zorin is paid-for. Honestly, I can't see any good reason to pay for it myself. Zorin Lite isn't bad, though. One of the prettiest, best-customised Xfce deployments I've seen yet, and it's free.
- KeyBoardG 5y agoZorin is only paid for the Pro version which offers a few more layouts out of the box and different pre-installed apps, and support from them. The standard core version (standard and lite as you mentioned) is completely free.
