Opinions on Zorin OS

[Michael Butash]

I watched the 2012 WLS one, and he's mostly right, but far 
over-dramatizes it I think.

Linux definitely does not "suck" as a desktop, but if calling it that 
helps fix bits that do - sure.  I use linux exclusively for home and 
work, which is generally no small feat, relegating windows to vm only. 
My wife as a non-sysadmin user runs linux natively as well, doing 
Minecraft, facebook games, gimp for graphics, openoffice, and general 
every day use.  While it gives me grief at times, it also gives me far 
more potential than any windoze system would without installing linux in 
vm or cygwin on it.

I thought my big desktop system had issues until I used a customer 
dual-head win7 system for a few days for systems access, and there were 
far more split desktop rendering issues than I would have expected for 
modern winos.  I suddenly appreciated linux that much more with or 
without my compiz/ati issues.
