+1 to @Aravisian's suggestion. I wiped my old PC (i7-920, 2x 512GB SSD, 24GB RAM) and installed Zorin 17.1 Pro on it.
While many Steam games work (about to roll though GOG, EA, Epic Launcher, Ubisoft games)...I wish I started with Lite as my base.
Too many strange regressions and crashes on Pro on that older system. On my laptops...Pro runs like a champ.
Oh well, live and learn!
