    That’s why much more effort should be used to promote, towards the regular masses, Linux distros such as Linux Mint and Zorin that are built to purposely accommodate Windows(and Mac)-refugees into guiding them into the wider Linux ecosystem.

      Problem is that Mint and Zorin don’t take security as seriously as they should, and so I’m worried about the risks that would pose.

      Plus Zorin is a bit problematic for other reasons.
