Zorin needs to go the Mint way, provide an Ubuntu based distro without the Snap bullshit.

Then I'd 100% be down to install it and even recommend it to everyone.

Linux Mint is ok, but I really prefer KDE. However, the way Zorin has configured Gnome is extremely nice and I enjoyed it very much. I could totally see myself use it as a daily driver.

Did you mean Debian based? or really just Ubuntu reconfigured to remove Snap.

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I found out how easily it was to configure GNOME to look more like KDE, especially after reading so much about it to be opinionated. I also like KDEs layout more but GNOME consistencies is what makes me stick with it.

Just need Dash to Panel (which I believe is forked of Zorins original work which Zorin now forks itself) and ArcMenu also add DING for Desktop Icons cause they are cozy.

Mint has both Ubuntu-based and Debian-based editions. IMO, I don't really see what benefit comes from using Ubuntu as a base, other than compatibility with PPAs or apps that expect Ubuntu-specific versions of libraries.
