Currently running dual boot Ubuntu/Win 10 (I have a couple of Windows applications for work that don't run well under Linux, even in a VM). Looking at possibly moving over to Zorin Linux on the new build. While Zorin is built in Debian/Ubuntu, the available UIs look super clean and you can make the UI closely resemble Windows, Mac, or a Linux distro. What intrigues me about Zorin, is they've closely integrated Wine and an app called Play On Linux. May try it on a spare laptop I have here before going full in (been a Ubuntu user for about 10 years now).
