I wanna try out Linux for the first time with no clue what I’m doing and this seemed like a good starter for what I need it for what do you all think?

It recommends new users to just install everything with it, instead of looking for native alternatives.

There's actually the "Zorin-exec-guard", which runs when you wanna use an AppImage (for integration) or windows app and tries to match the filename to a known list of either native versions of the program or native alternatives. It then prompts you if you wanna use those instead.

They've also released a migration tool for a future Z16 > Z17 migration and migration between Core & Pro.

Another thing, the extensions and everything needed for pro layouts is all in the repos but disabled by default. You can all enable it manually.

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.
