I love this system, it is very light and ease to use, it allows me to use it on computers with low performance and yet it does not slow down. The number of functions it has to configure it to your liking make it a mut robust system. It is easy to integrate...

There are very less desktops which have this as an alternative to Windows. And we have to download this from the website. Also, sometimes it doesn't respond to some common because of slow programming.

Zorin is very easy to use. As someone who uses both Mac OS and Windows, Zorin almost seems like a combination of both. It's very customizable and has a self-explanatory interface. As a Linux newbie, Zorin is a great place to start without feeling overwhelmed.
