Just out of curiosity, how many here use the Pro version and which of the many layouts do you use?
I currently have 17.2 and use the Windows 11 style layout but I adjust it so that the menu and most used apps in the taskbar are to the left rather than the centre.
I use Zorin OS 16.3 PRO, which isn't much different from Zorin OS 17.2 PRO, as far as the added goodies like layouts. I use the first layout believe it or not, it doesn't show a label for me, but I really quite like it. Typically, when one chooses a layout, they stick with it.
Now, in regards to OS theming, I am using the Star Labs theme, with Storm's ILP icon's set.
The best part about PRO, is that you are supporting the 2-person dev team. Then add the additional layouts you get, as well as a bunch of software already pre-installed for your convenience, its a win win in my book!
I use the out of the box layout, the Windows 7 like with the taskbar at the bottom and the start button to the left. I haven't used Zorin OS directly on my machine for a while but even now with Debian and XFCE it's how I prefer it:
