Wait unti you have to upgrade Zorin to a new release. I still haven't gotten mine to work. Stick with Mint or Bazzite if you want a Windows alternate

I wouldn't exactly put up Mint as an example for a smooth upgrading experience...
Maybe I lack the technical understanding, but it's absolutely baffling to me, why one has to download mintupgrade. It's a reasonable setup wizard once it's running, but why on earth is that not part of the whole Update tool interface in the first place and gets downloaded automatically?

Mint upgrades have been pretty smooth for my partner and myself
