E: Unable to locate package libgtk-4-dev
Exactly.
The package you are trying to install is a GTK4 Package. You will need to wait for Zorin OS 17 for it to be available on Zorin.
You might try Fedora or Ubuntu 22.04 in the meantime.

Doesn't Mint use Cinnamon as its DE?
How would they look similar?
I read somewhere it would release 2022 but there seems to be no news of it?

Not sure about where it was said 2022... The earliest I ever heard was the end of 2023.
The Base for Zorin OS 17, Ubuntu 22.04 itself was only released in 2022. With all the patching, upgrading and testing; it would be next to impossible to get Zorin OS 17 released later that same exact year.
So I just ended up adding Debian 12 stable repos and I am pretty sure like @Turtle11 said IT WILL BREAK SOME STUFF IN ZORIN, I did it anyway
adding this line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
has added many packages and updates that weren't there before which is huge help as it now lets me compile programs which I wasn't able to before.
I know this is not a great solution and will probably mess up some stuff but I will try to handle it the best I can.
I will update what all break on my computer.
CHEERS!
Thanks this was what I was looking for but I can't compile gtk from source either cause all the other packages linke meson glib and many other are out of date.
So I tried cheating and just changing version numbers in the meson.build but that too made a lot of errors.
So for now I am moving to mint and will com back once Zorin 17 is ready
