It has a chatbot powered by a large language model. Not sure that qualifies as "AI".

Right, and I'm saying Zorin is perfect for them. Zorin exists in a weird space where it's great for the type of person who would never really consider installing Linux in the first place.

No it's a great recommendation.

Yes Bazzite is great I tried it out recently and loved it.

I didn't say "average person" and end the sentence. I said the average person installing linux. The type of person who installs Linux in the first place is already extremely far from average.

I would consider act of installing Linux itself to be "tinkering".

The average person who is installing Linux wants to be able to tinker.

The type of person who installs Linux in the first place is already extremely far from average.

I didn't say average person I said average Linux installer which is FAR from the average person.

Zorin is a solid distro and is designed to appeal to Windows users.

Buuuut knowing what I know now I worry Zorin's simplicity could turn people off of Linux. Zorin is a good OS for your grandmother but the average person who would consider installing Linux wants to be able to tinker. Heck, I would consider the very act of changing your operating to be tinkering. Nobody accidentally stumbles installing Linux.

The options with Zorin are either use it as-is or risk breaking it. That's why I would personally recommend a KDE distro, probably something immutable like Fedora Kinoite. That way you can tinker to your heart's content with no fear of breaking it.

If you single out a female character who's not a Mary Sue as a Mary Sue for no reason other than because you personally don't the character, people will think you're sexist. Especially when you don't apply that definition to the white and male characters who more closely fit the established definition.

Well said. Prodigy was not for me. But I'm not making it my personality!
