Why can’t I download Linux?
Q I had decided even before reading your Windows 10 Survival Guide in Issue 718 that I was going to switch to Linux Mint or Zorin. I visited DistroSea (www.distrosea.com) as you suggested in order to test them, but was unable to download either Mint or Zorin. I tried it on three different browsers (Chrome, DuckDuckGo and Edge), all without success. Can you help?

A DistroSea isn’t for downloading Linux distros – it’s for trying them in a browser window before you install them. On the homepage, you’ll find icons for both Linux Mint and Zorin OS. Click either one, then click the version of the distro you’d like to try (we recommend the latest Cinnamon edition of Linux Mint – see screenshot below – or the latest Core64 version of Zorin OS).
