If your used to windows and nothing else and you don't go out of your way to use a windows like linux like zorin os then I guess yeah.

Tried Zorin on a Thinkpad, installed rather than live disc. It ran slower than Windows, had trouble with networking (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), and Wine was unable to run just about anything well. I uninstalled it and fixed my Windows boot loader.
