I think it is very purposeful that Zorin has expansive marketing and frames features in terms of price value.
They are just different layouts for Gnome, but it’s annoying that they call what is essentially a donation to them a Pro edition. A donate button would likely make more as it feels philanphropic.

You do realize that includes support, right? Last time I checked, that is very much not a donation.

This is a good point, particularly in the context of value for new users. My comment is more regarding the precedent of framing desktop environments as some sort of premium feature. I do question how much value users still get out of that though, since so many Linux distros have communities that provide essentially the same service for free with a bit more labour on the user.

I personally found value in having that straight out of the box, curated and distilled down to what works and looks good.
