    Ah, I remember Zorin. It was my first distro. I eventually moved on to Debian and Trisquel, though.

    This is an excellent starting point for new converts, but if you want a more “Windows-esque” experience, I’d recommend Kubuntu or KDE Neon (Plasma is the most Windows-like DE in my opinion).

        Trisquel GNU/Linux is an Ubuntu fork that is famous for having no proprietary software whatsoever*. It’s the distro that Richard Stallman uses.

        Trisquel uses a modified version of the Linux kernel that is completely devoid of binary blobs. However, as a side effect, some things like WiFi may not work, so you’ll have to buy an FSF-certified USB dongle, or use Ethernet.

        *Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from installing closed-source software on Trisquel (but why would you want to do that?). And Debian by default ships with 100% FLOSS.

          Debian by default ships with 100% FLOSS.

          Not anymore. The default installation doesn’t use the Linux-libre kernel and enables non-free firmware.
