I can hark back to the early two-thousands and going from Gnome to KDE and thinking " Oooooooooooooooooo! It's sooo pritteeeeeeee!" Then thumping the keyboard in frustration as my resource starved PC sloooooo o o owed dooo oo own.
First off, I wasn't impressed by the desktop. Elementary OS also has implemented a better developer support option with their software center with donate as you want or get it free model.Not Zorin bashing, but I gave it try as I read how "beautiful" it's desktop is and how it was one of the best distros for those moving over from Windows. Software packages are not what you paid for, you paid for the support.Īnd while other major distributions lack paid models you can always donate to the project you love and use. If you paid for the Ultimate version you supported the developers and you will get official commercial support from the team whenever you run across any issues. Also please keep in mind that Zorin is free operating system, the Ultimate version have preinstalled softwares that are installable on any other operating systems as well. Zorin makes it very clear on their website about who their targeted users are and how often they will update the base system.
The cost of these rolling release distributions is time and effort for manual maintenance as these distributions are supposed to be used by people who know their ways around Linux and how to fix something when it breaks (and it eventually does break from time to time), like a kernel panic. If you want latest versions of softwares as early as possible you have the option of trying a bunch of really good rolling release distributions like Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora Rawhide, Debian Sid etc.
People generally pay for long term support meaning you'll not get updates every now and then, resulting in stable predictable dependable operating system.
