Did it three days ago. Took the windows partition out back and formatted it.

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you choose Zorin? How do you hear about Zorin?

It might be my lemmy client but when I go to that link I just see a basic steam next fest post with a Linux picking section from a different user.

What am I missing?

It's a comment link from Xenny that they just installed Bazzite. Maybe they did both?

Some folks change Linux distros like I change my underwear.

I used to switch a lot, and created scripts that install distroboxes with all the stuff needed for various purposes like java programming etc. Now on a fresh install I can get back to having all third party libraries and IDE set up with extensions, git configured etc in a couple of minutes. Debian distroboxes for things where versions don't matter, tumbleweed for latest versions when needed. I looked forward to distrohopping all the time. But now I'm just on debian as the "host" system, no need to switch.

Changed three times. Settled on cachy

Good move I think. :)

They're not saying they went to Zorin, they're saying they went from windows to Linux recently.

They are right to be happy about it
