I've dabbled with Zorin in the past but I am talking a good few years now.
I've been running Mint for something like 7 or 8 years now. The lst couple
have been exclusively Mint but even dual booted with Windows I cannot
remember the last time I used MS software.
Now, which version of Zorin are you trying? There's the free as in
monetary version which I seem to recall is missing some drivers etc
(proprietary of course). Then there is a second tier, paid for version
with a few more bells and whistles and a support package. I always tried
the freebie versions but never stuck with it. This was when I was still
flitting from one distro to another of course.

Had a brief play today but it was a bit of a disaster. Zorin
didn't like
my multi-monitor setup. Nvidia didn't work out of the box (selected the
install with drivers option and download third-party software).
Stuck with one monitor in basic 1024x768 mode (made worse by this being
one of my portrait monitors, but that's my bad), tried to fix but none of
the display settings worked.
Restarted PC but now can't login, no password errors so I think it
basically fails on display and then goes back to login menu.
Went back to the USB installer but seems to be lacking a reinstall/repair
option. Attempting to install makes it want to install a -second-
installation.
So for now I've cut my losses, but learnt more about EFI in my efforts to
clear out the mess of partitions this one and a half installations created.
Might have another stab post Christmas with just the main monitor
connected and -not- choosing the Nvidia option.
