GNOME 44 with a couple extensions. I'm a big fan of its general look and feel
This was my first distro! It's very beginner friendly and customization was very easier without requiring knowledge of GNOME extensions (which aren't hard to set up once you know they exist). The Wine integration is nothing short of fantastic making it very easy to install Windows apps and it even recommends some native Linux equivalents (Heroic Games launcher if you try to install Epic Games). I have since switched to Fedora Workstation Edition, but Zorin is a good way to dip your toe in the Linux pool while you learn more about it
Illinois, US. tap water has always been safe to drink wherever I've lived in this state. I've only been under a boil order a couple times in my life. That being said, I do filter my tap water otherwise it tastes strange to me
I won't go back unless they reverse the changes. And even the it would just be for the subreddits that don't have equivalents here at the moment
Fedora 38 Workstation Edition both on my laptop and desktop. I love the stability, all the up-to-date features and the general look and of GNOME. It works great for general computing, software development in VSCode/Codium and Android Studio, and gaming. Especially with one-to-one gesture on my laptop.
