It really is quite useful for a certain user.
It has a really great selection of polished layouts OOTB that can make GNOME look very familiar to whatever the user is used to.
Also has some other great tweaks around WINE for beginners, and a more easily accessible Nvidia option in install media.
I don’t use it myself, but I would suggest it is ideal for someone who is a basic computer user who wants to mostly web browse and use home office tools. It really is ultra-polished.
Yes this could mostly be replicated with extensions and themes, but honestly, unless you have strong feelings about your OS, which most people don’t, it is not worth messing about with this (particularly when installing for others) when Zorin is available; it can be a headache to have to maintain such comprehensive layout changes through extensions and themes without breakage throughout upgrades. It also has the benefits of being based on the very actively developed GNOME, compared to something with a smaller team like Cinnamon, namely much better Wayland support, and in my view more polish.
Also limiting rule updates to new extension versions will essentially make it impossible for adblockers to outpace anti-adblock interventions.
Why do you expect that Edge wouldn’t adopt Google-like MV3 along with Chrome?
Microsoft adopted Chromium in order to minimise development costs in a product it doesn’t see as core, something which would be incurred if it had to maintain its own fork of mv3, and is incentivized through Bing to pursue a similar approach.

It can produce more savings sure in terms of electricity costs, but when including capital, solar is presently much more cost effective. In my area some 6.8kw panels have a four year ROI.
I’m curious what sized system you are putting in that costs that much.
An 8kw solar system usually costs a bit over $8k and at least in many areas seems to have a ROI of a bit over 6 years at most and often much less.
Free software, Free society is his collection of essays.
Only due to broken anti-trust laws and precedent in the US based on faulty ideological assumptions from the chicago school.
Any reasonable fair-minded examination free from the shackles of this ideology and precedent would show it to be anti-competitive.
Thanks, I’ll adjust my claim to 5 years. I must have misremembered re the longevity of security updates.
For phones, new pixel with grapheneos.
The new pixel phones have 5 year support windows now.
To the foundation for their advocacy.
This is not correct.
arewefastyet.com shows very clearly that although chrome beats firefox in some benchmarks, firefox trades blows with it and is similar to or faster in others.
Why on Earth are these nonsense blog rants constantly upvoted here?
It is essentially an unlettered rant that conflates the author’s UI and toolkit preferences with an objective view.
It doesn’t even provide a useful comparison to the evolution of QT to provide for a meaningful reference of its implied assertion that the evolution of GTK is too rapid for devs.
