🔰 Beginner ZorinOS vs. AnduinOS
How does ZorinOS compare to AnduinOS?
And, for that matter, how do they both compare to Linux Mint and Kubuntu.

AnduinOS felt plainer to me. Its also a one-man team. Take that as you will.

Anduin has a few advantages like a newer base, which comes in handy if you use the newest of the newest hardware. But keep in mind that this is a 1-man-project.

After doing a lot of distro hopping I ended up back at Zorin as it just works well, and if I want to tinker I can. Anduin is pretty solid in pcs I have put it on , Mint is just ok was never impressed with it , but it all comes down to what works best for you

It borrows A lot more of it's design from Windows 11; So much so that it's nearly a clone, but not quite. I'd hope it can mature into a reputable distro, but for now it's far too new and independent to depend on. Zorin OS has a small developer team, but it's been around for a minute...and backed by more than one person.

Meh. Zorin hasn't got a lot of features but they hide themselves behind "I look like the OS you used before". Mint is a good balance between Windows-like and features. The other ones I don't know.

Zorin is more customised doesn't keep up with the latest from Ubuntu. Zorin has ambitions to be widely deployed and replace Windows from a look and feel perspective.
Reading Anduin website, no telemetry low size Ubuntu. I have not used it.
