Hi, i love zorin os but i love mate, is possible to install it on zorin os?and remove gnome totally?
Yes, it is possible to install MATE. You can take a look here:
With removing gnome I'd be careful. I am not sure. If you make a new install it would be better to install Zorin lite and then switch to Mate.
You can install it and remove Gnome. But there would be the Question if it wouldn't be better to go with a Distro that uses MATE as default Desktop.
Here on Zorin, You can install it with the Terminal Command sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment but I would suggest to try that in a VM first or only then when it isn't bad when Your System might be broke.
Since it's possible to have multiple desktop environments installed at once, I'd suggest keeping Gnome around in case something goes wrong.
