I never see much love for ZorinOS, but I find it a very solid replacement. I still use my Macbook for certain things, but I am slowly moving away from even that thanks to Appleโs spying and whatnot.

It is in mixed states of ready. Each distro has something it's ready for and something it isn't. It'd be nice if all the ready parts were in a single distro, but that's an XKCD 927 issue. I am hopeful that Valve puts thought and effort into making SteamOS a solid desktop on top of a solid gaming platform.
Month and a half into using Mint Cinnamon... frankly it's hard to feel like I'm not still using Win10. What comes to mind immediately is that file management dialogs in apps are less consistent with how the file manager itself works, whereas in Windows it's all more uniform. But IMO that's very minor. Overall UX feels the same to me.
Note: I am not a computer gamer so can't comment on how games work on Linux, and also I've used Ubuntu and BSD in the past. Just had Windows at home to be consistent with work. I retired several years ago and it still took me this long to switch over.

It's ready enough, but at the same time not ready. It could be better
I switched 15 years ago. It was ready then. It is ready now. I was in my teens and have used it ever since.
