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.

While I'm not the largest fan of the windowslike style, Zorin looks impressively clean and sleek.
Zorin is probably the perfect linux system for someone else
I was gonna say, if you gave this to someone with little tech skills you could make them believe it was Windows probably forever
They offer a layout switcher (like Manjaro GNOME) which also has Mac, Ubuntu, and GNOME options! It's all basically pre-riced GNOME extensions
