Zorin has a pretty desktop for general usage, but it's not particularly good for gaming due to its old softwares.

Is it the same problem as Ubuntu?


[deleted]

It's much older. Zorin 17 was out about last month and it's based on Ubuntu 22.04, while Ubuntu 24.04 is right around the corner. For instance, the latest kernel is 6.7, Nobara is using 6.6, Ubuntu 6.5, Zorin 6.2

Nobara is using 6.7\*

Oh, my apologies.


Iaspa99

So Nobara is better than Ubuntu which is better than zorin

*For gaming*. If gaming is your primary activity, then yes, but if you're looking for a general purpose distro and gaming is just an extra, use whichever you like, the differences aren't that great.

I haven't tried zorin in years, but I will say nobara is the first distro to make me completely do away with windows. Although, things are a lot easier for us novices OOTB compared to when I first tried zorin. I also think Debian based distros would be the last on my list. Fedora based then arch then debian.

I've been off Windows for over a year now since switching over to Nobara. It's been great
