I started off with Zorin because Winblows kept slooowing down regardless of what tricks I pulled. It was a constant game of whack-a-mole so I switched. Not too painful. After several years Zorin is as fast as installed. No slowdown however I developed some glitches in updating browsers and such. This kept me from logging into several sites I needed (banking). I did a partition and am now running Mint on applications where I need an updated browser. I use Zorin day to day but switch over to Mint when needed.
Same here with Winders. I switched to Linux Mint many moons ago and never looked back. Stable as the rock of Gibraltar.
I have a dual boot divided between Linux Mint and windows. Been running the mint for several years and it’s very good. For a few things you still need windows. Mac OS is also a very good system.
