GNOME (customized, 'Zorin Desktop')

Zorin OS leans hardest into the 'switcher' pitch of any beginner distro: its built-in Zorin Appearance app lets a new user pick a desktop layout that looks like Windows 7, Windows 11, or MacOS with a couple of clicks, easing the visual culture shock of moving off a commercial OS. The free Core edition covers most everyday needs; a paid Pro edition adds more layouts, extra pre-installed software, and priority support, which funds ongoing development. It also bundles Zorin Connect (an equivalent to KDE Connect) for phone integration and a compatibility layer that runs many Windows applications directly. Under the hood it's Ubuntu LTS, so hardware support and the software catalog match Ubuntu's.
