Opinions on Zorin OS (and a side order of Mint)

[Kenn]

I've been having pretty good results with Linux Mint Maya v13 using the MATE desktop for the last week or so now. I don't run the newest fastest hardware. I was a big Ubuntu fan for the longest time, but I just cannot warm up to the Unity desktop on a desktop PC, although it's OK on my netbook with a small screen. Gnome3 desktop wasn't working out for me either. The last straw was updating Ubuntu to 12.04 and it hosed up two machines. Sure, a fresh install likely would have worked, but I was due for a new desktop. Just my two cents.  

distrowatch.org is good reference for selecting a distro best for you.

      I'm looking for a distro that works well for people weaned off
      Winblows.  So far, school's out for this one, but i'm giving it a
      chance for a while for it to grow on me so to speak.
