100% agree. Don't get me wrong, zorin looks nice and I've considered trying it a couple times. But kubuntu is where it's at. My brother is old school though, and has a Gentoo install he keeps going, but he gets the latest plasma, kubuntu is a major release behind.

There are options that get you latest, still on a Debian base, but it wasn't as stable as kubuntu so I switched back.

Linux is the only thing that will really revive an old apple product, even if it runs macos pretty well still, you can't get any of the apps to run because they're no longer offered, and then if you can install an old one, it auto updates to a non-functional version. (This just happened to me)

I still can't quit Windows entirely, visual studio is important to what I'm working on.
