My Spanish literacy isn't great but I only see reasons for moving to 
Zorin, not a discussion of other possibilities. The person leading the 
seminar converted to Linux a couple of months ago when the library 
realized many of its machines weren't capable of Win11. 

He looked at both Zorin and Mint. He said he chose Mint because Zorin 
seemed bare bones and Mint offered easier customization. I think he will 
cover the Zorin install in future seminars also.

I didn't want to muddy the waters so I didn't say much. Better to give the 
N00bs limited choices. I don't run it but I think Fedora with the Cinnamon 
DE would look at lot like Mint with Cinnamon.

Given that the target audience is people with older Win10 boxes that can't 
make the jump, it shouldn't make a difference. He said after it updated 
Mint's kernel was 6.8 something. My Ubuntu 25.04 is 6.14.0, and the Fedora 
42 is 6.17.4. I'm not running the latest, greatest Nvidia GPU or other 
cutting edge hardware so it makes little difference. That's probably the 
case for most people moving.
