Its not as bad as I thought, I am trying to see what I have here. When I allow it to boot into Zorin not selecting an Advance option I end up with a Large Red background with large login on left with a selection of 3 menus options. As you said this is a little overwhelming. I have to warm boot to be able to select the -34, -27 is way big. Does this have the Windows 11 background?
What do you mean Be aware that XFCE 4.16 is the version that is partially switched over to CSD's. Should I be running 20.04 instead of 18.??? Could the XFCE 4.14 be using -27 and XFCE 4.16 use the -34? Ubuntu 20.04 will not run using the -27 it wants -34. It would boot up correctly the last few days.
I am going to play with this to see if I can tell what has happened before doing something other than upgrading to XFCE 4.16.
