You may need libusb-dev - I grab that one after OS install; helps with non-functioning USB's.
If it works with another machine, and not with Zorin, I'd say it's probably missing libusb-dev. Check your USB cable, maybe USB port on the phone too - every microUSB and Type-C I have get.. kinda mangled. Just normal use, at that! And dust - likes to creep in and collect around the pins. I use a toothbrush to clean out all the hard-to-reach places, compressed air to get the stragglers lol
