Try:
sudo apt install linux-generic-6.02
instead, sorry
If you are dual booting with Windows, then you can have Secure Boot enabled.
But if you are booting only Linux, then Secure Boot should be disabled.
Secure Boot is for Windows Only. It is basically a check list that only allows certain signed packages to boot.
Microsoft, in good spirit, did sign off on many Linux Packages to allow them to check through Secure Boot, but they did not sign off on them all.
So some necessary packages can get blocked by Secure Boot on Linux.

Is keyboard recognized and working?
Not working.
Here is the bug report:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216158
Some say the kernel version needs to be higher than 6.1... Let's try it. Download these:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v6.2.16/amd64/linux-headers-6.2.16-060216_6.2.16-060216.202305171336_all.deb
They should land in ~Downloads. So in terminal, switch to that directory:
cd ~/Downloads
Now install all the above:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Once installed... boot into the 6.2.16 kernel (Just as you did above with the 6.02) and test keyboard.
After installing this , 6.2.16 was the one showing in my kernel options not 6.02
This image is right after installing 6.02
So for some reason, sudo apt install linux-generic-6.02 installs 6.2.16
The only concerning error there is "Failed to init GPU, declaring it wedged"
Was it able to fully boot? (That warning above makes me doubt you will answer in the affirmative...)
OH Also - Have you disabled Secure Boot in your BIOS?
I think yes because i am typing this message in that same zorin desktop.
Yes Secureboot is disabled.
Ah ok, so not critical, then. I was worried that the later kernel produced a new regression. However, the 6.2 kernel (It turns out that is the latest from TuxInvader) does not solve your Keyboard issue, correct?
yes correct.
Deepak, you may have an uncomfortable situation where your hardware is Too New for the current version of Zorin OS.
You may try testing some other distros like Fedora or the latest rolling releases. If They Work, then you may have found a distro to use - or May find a clue as to what we could do with your machine for Zorin OS.
Zorin OS comes with libinput and I believe you said that you already tried
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-all
Since you had the issue on Try Zorin and on the initial install, we can be certain you did not log into Wayland.
i did not log on wayland. shall i do that?
That is possible since i bought it yesterday.
Should I try ubuntu? I think its easier to use and understand.
You can. I would try several. Even if it is not a distro you like or want to use - if it works it may provide a clue we need. You would need to look at the Latest Rolling Releases...
No, I think that would make things worse.
Wayland is great for what it is intended to do - but it is not yet a complete project. It is a work in progress.
how to check that, say for ubuntu?
Distrowatch is useful for this.
The latest Non-LTS release is 23.04 (Interim release - short term support).
