Yeah, Terminal spits out errors, and it can cause problems to start an application from Terminal if that application can access files as root and it's not programmed to be started from Terminal, but in this case, it's not root and it's not changing any system files, it's just rearranging the Zorin menu.

That's why you don't want to do, for instance:
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

You should instead put this in your .bashrc file:

# Edit files by using sudoedit /{path}
export SUDO_EDITOR='/usr/bin/gedit -w'

Then do:
sudoedit /etc/default/grub

Or use sudo nano or sudo vim instead of using the GUI gedit.
