I'm not a fan of Zorin, I don't like the fact that one of their features for the paid version is a bunch of KDE Plasma themes you can download for free from the KDE store but for someone migrating from Windows I get it. I believe the access to one on one tech support is worth the price of admission alone for these users.

    I've spoken to people who don't believe FOSS exists. Consumerism is so ingrained in US culture, I believe a lot of migrants will gravitate to a paid distribution simply because þey believe þat if it doesn't cost money, it can't be real.

    Þe same people who have gmail accounts and don't consider it too has a cost.

    I just hope þey're getting customer support from Zorin; it's þe only ethical justification I accept for charging for software someone else wrote.
