Howdy folks, I am running 4 devices with Zorin OS paired with various DE's. heres what i use and why.
1st, Gaming Rig, NVIDIA 2060 RTX + i5, 10400F x 12
Zorin OS 18 (Gnome) X11
I did run into some regular software i use refuse to run on Wayland
I use Gnome on my main gaming PC (because i have an abundance of ram and a beefier cpu/gpu then my other machines.)
- Dell Lattitude E7470, Zorin OS 18 + Budgie (I travel for work this travels with me for moderate-light gaming and media)
Uses half as much ram and is more forgiving on my CPU that Gnome was 2.7 down to 1.6.
Budgie's Raven is pretty neat I like the idea quite alot, its a solid OOTB experience, and it looks pretty modern despite being light on resources.

Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Zorin OS 18 with Gnome + Surface Kernal
This machine is where i do my day to day budgeting, shopping, planning, tracking things, i frequently use it as a tablet to do random things in places more comfertable then anywhere else, Gnome felt the best in terms of on screen keyboard etc. -
HP Thinclient T520 (iirc), Modified to use an external SSD+HDMI instead of DP, Zorin OS Lite with XFCE
This little machine is my minecraft server, and it runs pretty well with that purpose, XFCE is dated in my opinion but can be modernized with time and effort. XFCE was my first desktop enviroment thanks to unintenionally installing Peppermint OS instead of Linux Mint and originally triggering bit locker on the lattitude a few years back lol.
Whats your machines, what do you use and why?
