Why is it better than bazzite? Why is it better than fedora?
Bazzite is one of my favorites but it's definitely got some faults. It doesn't support anything but Flatpaks (lots of apps are .deb only or maybe .rpm). It's immutable. And it's strongly gaming-focused. Which is just not what everyone needs.
Zorin has a really cool feature that identifies the app you're trying to run and advises you what's the best way to do it.
With bazzite or really any distro you can run distrobox/distroshelf and just install whatever kind of package you want, for example I have an arch box where I run darktable because the flatpak kept giving me not responding prompts whenever I scrolled through my library too fast.
also I had trouble getting opencl to run with my igpu on flatpak, but with distrobox I just installed the GPU drivers and everything ran right away, and darktable shows up like any other application in the menus
That's comes with a whole slew of problems of its own.
