I had the same horrible experience, I did not wanted to switch after seeing tiny core page but after considering other option (including zorin) on youtube, I made a switch

There are experience levels.
Arch Linux, TinyCore, elements of BSD, Gentoo... There are many OS's that are geared toward Linux-Experienced users. They are not for switching to Linux. Their niche is in providing to users who are already well familiar with doing things in Linux.

But, The First Linux someone get's Suggested is most difficult one 
It wasn't until @anon6471198 suggested me linux mint and zorin, I couldn't make a switch to leave Windows and start using linux as a primary OS

Kali was great...
It has become a little more commercialized for my taste. I still use the Kali Dragon Wallpaper, though. 
This is kind of on the person that suggested it.
When I very first started looking into switching to Linux, I tried Mint.
Didn't like it.
Now, I like it a lot.
One thing about the switch is that it often has far more to do with what the user wants and expects and where they are at mentally, than the OS itself.
The challenge is in helping the person to accept change and learning. Once they do that, they can enjoy any Linux Distro.
For most that struggle, they do so because they want Windows without Microsoft. They don't want to have to learn anything new or change anything...

I'n not in security, however two friends who are pen-testers prefer parrot over kali, however kali just has everything mostly pre-configured out of the box, but parrotos is lighter weight and because they have desktop (non-tooled) version it is hardened for daily use oob unlike kali. Having played around with both and using parrot home for about 6 months, parrot is more suited as a daily driver with security tools for work, while kali is more suited as a per use toolkit when you need all the tools and resources at your disposal to get the job done.

I am still with Zorin. Tested Fedora on another pc but something wrong with my hardware. Maybe i am not a angel every day using Zorin. I using Zorin something when i want when a small children want lollipop or some people trying stop smoking a cigarette - i mean quit from windows. Funny for me is hopping or testing how looking another distributions. I am curious what's is nice or bad. Maybe building or buying cheapest pc for testing not for gaming - some Simple pc or just using pendrive.

For gaming windows but when want using for another parts or just curious if something new in the world linux then switch to linux like a now. I can also sayed linux people are diffrents from windows people. Well for me i liked using a terminal it gived me chance to thinking my cell what i doing good or wrong but this is very funny - besides when you win if something working when installing drivers or another things is like a challenge. Also in linux i liked more design from all the same things in windows that why astronauts don't open a windows in a space cosmic.
When people want catch me on some application when i am on linux I am free man.
Peace,silence,no stress - can listening music or watching movie,reading some e-books. This is one step to gived another side choice if you like me you can installing a linux or just a trying.

Parrot OS is a wonderful penetration testing and vulnerability assessment distro that can do a lot more than some of its more popular peers like Kali Linux.
If you boot Parrot from a USB disk, you can choose to create a persistent partition to save your changes. Very thoughtfully the developers also allow you to encrypt this persistent partition for maximum security.
The distro has a large selection of tools that are neatly filed inside a categorized menu. These house the tools according to their use, such as Information Gathering, Vulnerability Analysis, Password Attacks, Digital Forensics and several more.
Interestingly, Parrot also aspires to be useful for average computer users that need a secure and privacy-focused distro like hacktivists, and journalists. The distro also has a Home edition designed for day-to-day use for anyone who cares about privacy and online anonymity.
Also, If you are Hacking. OS weight doesn't matter.
