I was distrohopping for like a year or two when I first got into Linux desktop. As soon as I installed Arch for the first time that stopped. Now the thought of a distro pre-installing packages gives me the heebie jeebies. You don’t get to tell me how I sync with NTP servers!
The big advantage IMHO, is the out of the box BTRFS set up that lets you simply roll back to a non-broken state, right from the grub menu, should an update break your system. I haven’t had to use it yet, but it is a huge source of comfort knowing it is there.
Also, many people coming to opensuse remark how much snappier it is than other distros.
I’ve used Zorin Core 16 quite a bit before and it’s a really good OS. It does a lot right that other distros can learn from. There’s a lot of great UX stuff like automatically explaining what Wine is when you open an exe file, and in some cases recommending alternatives to Windows apps. Pretty much all the defaults are sane and I never really had to change much about the system after installation.
By far the most user friendly Linux distro out there imo. Would recommend for Linux beginners.
