I have never used Zorin or knew anyone that has. Anyone here have experience with it? I would install it but I don't feel like gutting my *nix partition to do it so if I did install it, it would be in virtualbox or something to just tinker with.

>Making the jump from Windows to Linux is a pretty daunting task. There are some things you have to learn, and others to unlearn, and ideally, you should start off with a distro that's as close to the Windows experience as possible. That way, you can spend some time testing out the waters and checking out the nuances without having to fight the UI. For a while, I've always recommended Linux Mint as a de facto choice for people wanting to leave Windows. However, another operating system has been trying very hard to make itself as Windows user-friendly as possible. And it seems to have worked, as its developers claim that 780,000 people downloaded it from a Windows computer in the space of a month.

I switched to linux mint and it's easy peasy (japaneesy). Albeit the color space is dull and the programs are completely different they do everything you need to get done.

Slight learning curve learning "sudo apt blah blah" but not much. It's a great idea to have a linux machine handy so you can tinker with it and learn it while still having a windows device.

For the most part you don't even need the command line with the software center. Intend to never use things like that though. I live on the command line.

I use cmd line as often as I can albeit I know my limits.
