Recently I am considering more and more moving my primary pc to a Linux distro. Somewhat for privacy issues but also to have more control over my system and to reduce the amound of advertising that windows keeps cramming in my face. Specifically I'm looking at Zorin. I was wondering what thoughs people here had on it.

I predominantly use my pc for gaming with friends. Almost entirely through Steam and we use discord to communicate. I'm mostly just curious if anyone here has had much experience with Zorin and whay they thought of it as a daily driver for gaming.

I seems like the general concensus is Mint makes more sense for what I need. I'll need to do a little more looking and test it out.

I honestly hadn't heard of pop_od before so I may need to look into that as well. Most of my hardware I wouldn't mind replacing but I have a 3080, and dropping cash on a new graphics card seems suboptimal lol.

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.
