Do you have an old laptop/PC that is just not doing it? Well I was in that situation with my ThinkPad x301 until i got ZorinOS. Here is my little review if you are thinking about the switch. UI: Is really windows like and really easy to get into. Software: Everything nowadays is avalible for ubuntu/linux so I had no problems with that. I even menaged to install some third party software with the terminal by just following a simple 2min guide. Performance: I was really impressed with the performance boost! My CPU would idle at 75C and with Win10 but with ZorinOS even when watching yt videos it would not go over 60C wich is really good for this old laptop. Overall: If you hate windows and want to switch to the "dark side" I recommend it. Of course it doesnt need to be ZorinOS there are a lot of other options like Linux Mint. ps. sorry for bad english

I regularly use ZorinOS Core on my work laptop. It appears and functions excellently, and has been quite reliable so far. In my opinion, it’s the most user-friendly distribution I’ve tested.

Using the terminal in this way really bothers me. I’m hoping for a future where it’s reserved only for complex tasks, not everyday activities like setting up software.

CLI tasks are a natural part of the *nix environment.

MacOS is essentially a Unix-based operating system, which is why it works well for most users.

You don't have to if you pick a distribution with alternatives for software not in its official list. Flatpak and AppImage are addressing this now—it depends on which apps use them as their method. AppImage behaves similarly to a .exe for users when the distro supports it natively. You can also typically install third-party or user repositories through the GUI, though finding suitable ones can be tricky. More often than not, you won't need to run the terminal for most tasks in popular distros; they usually simplify things with their interfaces instead of requiring navigation through various GUIs.

Classical MacOS lacked a command-line interface or terminal, so developers relied on other systems like Lisa or UNIX Workstations to create applications for it.
