but the average person installing Linux wants to be able to tinker.

But that's the issue, no? To really take users away from Windows and MacOS there needs to be a distro that works without tinkering.

The average person who is installing Linux wants to be able to tinker.

The type of person who installs Linux in the first place is already extremely far from average.

But that's exactly the point I'm trying to make.

Average people don't install/use linux because of the tinkering (amongst other stuff). If that's eliminated, it's accessible to more people.

Right, and I'm saying Zorin is perfect for them. Zorin exists in a weird space where it's great for the type of person who would never really consider installing Linux in the first place.
