Once again, to all the Windows 10 users out there, try Zorin OS and you won't regret it 
I'm just starting to prepare a laptop for when I start back to work in September. Chris Titus' style streamlined Windows 10 has been my work-horse for years, even though it's capable of running W 11, I disabled the update.

I am glad that you are enjoying Zorin OS Linux. I too switched from Windows 7, to Zorin OS 9, many years ago. I tried a few other Linux distro's too, but always came back to Zorin OS, because I like it so much more, and it works for me.

Libri Office suite <<<--- Thats your office apps
Gimp <<<--- Thats your photo editor
Kdenlive <<<--- Thats your video editor
Blender <<<--- Thats your 3D animation APP
