A common hardware configuration is to have a computer with 2 drives: frequently a smaller one, usually an SSD for the OS and apps, with a larger one, possibly a HD, for data.
As a first-time Linux user, it would have been really nice if as well as the "Something else" point of the installation there was a simple option at that point for a 2-disk systems with /home on the larger disk.
A more complex possibly at that point of the installation, that might be appealing for many Windows users, would be a "Disk & Partition Options for Beginners" option, including defaults for 1 or 2 disks (with /home on the larger of 2), or the creation of partitions, separating /home from / with sensible default sizes, but explanations and the ability to change them.
It's possibly an Ubuntu issue, but a Zorin adaption of that system would be nice, and if implemented sooner than version 19, might attract more new users during this current phase of abandoning Windows.
Two disk installation of any GNU/Linux has been possible for years, but only high-end notebooks have this possibility, and also computers. In reality you have a non-tech savvy general public.
When I was active on a local community forum a few years ago I read the tragic story of a parent whose child wanted to play a game but they were unable to.
Why? Because the parent on limited funds purchased a Chromebook with the atrocious eMMC schematic. The inverse of an Applebook, cheap but can't be upgraded to a newer OS, just like Apple.
You can always partition your drive/s first by using a live image of GParted directly.
So, assuming you do have the luxury of an SSD and an HDD:
If an EFI system, which it probably will be if new kit:
a. Create a 300 Mb EFI partition, but remember, GNU/Linux uses MiB not Mb (MebiBytes not Megabytes) so:
300 MB = 286.102294922 MiB
Formatted to FAT32/exFAT.
b. Because you are installing to SSD you won't need a swap area if you have a large amount of RAM (I would suggest 8 Gb minimum) so after the EFI Partition use the remaining space on the SSD for '/' formatted to Ext4 FS.
Format the entire HDD with Ext4 FS and label it '/home'.
Once done install Zorin using the something else method. You will need to go through the process of using the EFI partition again so that Zorin gets its EFI registered. The same for '/'.
Now use the drophdown arrow in GParted to select the HDD and reformat '/home' again.
Install Zorin and on reboot you may have to use FSTAB to make '/home' available to '/'.
Thanks, I've managed to do all that, mostly on my 2 SSD Framework 16 and also on an ancient desktop with a tiny SSD and a HD. However, I'm better informed than many Windows users and had done a fair bit of preliminary research before making the jump. My main point is that while the installation is pretty simple for a basic installation or trial, it gets more complex with "Or something else" and I think that part could be made easier. A positive step there could produce another round of positive reviews, encouraging even more to make the jump from Windows to Zorin.
