For now it’ll also include “AI”-assisted projects that haven't had at least two months of (public, verifiable) dev time behind them.

I've been using Zorin OS for about 6 months (first on my laptop and now on my newly bought gaming desktop) and I'm very happy with it! Didn't really have any big issues (so far) with compatibility. I also find it very user friendly in terms of Windows lookalike. Gaming wise, I've been using heroic games launcher for non steam games and steam for steam games and I have to say I didn't expect it to be so easy and straightforward
This is the first I've heard of Zorin. I'll definitely be giving this a hard look. Thanks for the recommendation!
I'm not sure exactly how it works with other OSs but Zorin also has a neat app store (flatpak, snap and others), which makes it very easy to find and install anything without command lines. Let me just add that this OS was also completely unknown to me. I was trying to install Mint in my laptop but couldn't make it through the boot because of compatibility issues with my old-ish GPU and my neighbour suggested Zorin which simply worked without any tweaks
