Die pro Version habe ich gekauft, weil als Apple-Fanboy einen Apple like Desktop wollte. Doch was Zorin pro anbietet ist ja wohl ein schlechter Witz und wirkt wie die Nacherzählung eines Dreijährigen. Letztlich bezahlt man fast 50€ für lächerliche Desktop Varianten und Freeware, die man bei Bedarf auch selbst installieren könnte. Ach ja, und auch für Support, den ich nicht brauche. Ich kann mich höchstens damit trösten die Entwickler unterstützt zu haben. Aber die pro Version würde ich niemandem empfehlen. Auf meinem alten Mac mini von 2007 läuft es recht ordentlich, wenn auch nicht vollkommen rund. Eben so wie jedes andere Linux auch.
Welcome to the Forum!
What is included with Zorin PRO and what You get is on the Download Page visible:
And when You click on the Link on the right Side:
You come to the Product Page:
And noone says that You have to buy the PRO Version. Of Couse You can use the Core Version, too. then you can install the Gnome Extension to get the Mac-Layout. In Zorin PRO it is already prepared. And only because You don't need Support doesn't mean that nobody needs Support.

My view was that paying for the Pro version was helping fund development. It was a choice I made, regardless of the extras (most of which I've little use for). In the current climate of Microsoft, Apple and Google it just seemed to make sense to contribute a little to keep the smaller, independent, options alive.

Apologies for any errors in the above translation! German is not my native language but it seemed appropriate to also reply in German for the original poster.

I'm considering buying Pro version to support developers. I perfectly know that all the extras are available for free, the meaning of this choice is not that..

Feedback critically examines what needs improvement, thereby helping the developers to refine a product.
This statement above is not specific in a way that what disappointed you can be addressed.

I totally agree. What concerns me is the OP's wide sweeping blanketed statement. They did not discuss a single thing that was wrong or not to their liking.
The closest statement I saw, is their looking for a MAC OS style of computing. Well, their is the MAC OS layout in Zorin OS Pro. But one can't expect Linux to operate 100% exactly like MAC OS, their different operating systems.
MAC OS, like Windows OS, are locked down systems. As such, you will do what they allow you to do, and no more. Linux OS is flexible, allows you the freedom of choice.
Lastly, paying for PRO, is really more about supporting the dev's. As the OP said themselves, you can install the extra content yourself, but that takes time some don't have, nor have the patience to do so.
I would advise the OP to speak as to specifics of their issues with Zorin OS. Otherwise the OP's post reads like a bad mouthing Zorin OS campaign.
