Yeah true that mint is the default. But if you look up any beginner distro recommendation then zorin is often also mentioned. Zorin 18 released last week so it's a getting a bit more mentions then normal. But look up any beginner distro video or article and it's always mint and zorin. Zorin has been around since 2009
