Zorin OS is very similar to windows, regular users just use it, without learning anything new.
But still, marketing this must be brutal.

Omarchy looks interesting. I like the aesthetic: https://omarchy.org/

Omarchy isn't designed for linux noobs I suppose. Seriously, I use hyprland and arch and its definitely a lot more ergonomic with keybinds but it shouldn't be recommended to newbies who are especially coming from windows.
I would personally recommend someone mint/steamos (for gaming)
my own journey in linux started with nobara linux which was focused for gaming and quickly transitioned into arch.
Terminal is definitely scary for some people starting out. I dove head first downloading arch through the terminal though after using nobara :sob:
It was fun, good times. I might try omarchy too given how I had misconfigured / have essentially this issue where my system has less memory and its become bloated even with arch. I might try omarchy with my own dotfiles tho...
I wish I could've made backups but I genuinely don't know how to make backups in ext4, like the backups are 100's of gigs and they took me hours and idk they still don't work.
This time I will use btrfs I think for snapshotting purposes

Edit: I went and installed omarchy, i had some issues in the process due to my bootloader / bios options being a little finnicky but currently I am on omarchy
I have lots of thoughts if I am being honest, especially on minor nitpicks like neovim not working out of the box, and some other minor nitpicks like I had to install zen and I had to change the theme but it was hard so I went and installed an addon but then the addon doesn't show up so I had to go to github to see that there was a different way of doing it without addons :sob:
Its definitely customizable and has a lot of software that i used to use like signal/localsend but its definitely really opinionated with things like basecamp and hey and even a surprised amount of focus on things like chatgpt and ai
My keybinds were also different but minor nitpicks
It has btrfs I think so I am looking towards snapshots right now but overall its kinda cool. And I have my dotfiles etc. still in a backup
I might create a blog post about it but I think I would rate it a 7.5 / 10
Maybe I liked goofy colors (oglothenerd's rice) with my last rice :p
But I wouldn't recommend it to beginners maybe. idk.
