Not my favorite distro, but ANY Linux is better than windows haha

Zorin isn't too bad, and it tries to hit the usability targets that Microsoft used to use. As far as "lol ok I'll try linux" goes, there are worse choices...

Oh for sure. I hope the increased interest in Linux pushes for a more user friendly system overall. I don’t care about using a terminal, but grandma? No way.

Admittedly I am talking out off my ass here, but I feel like this distro is being mentioned weirdly often lately. Is it actually popular?

No, it's nothing except marketing bullshit .
