Zorin OS - Home

Zorin OS is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution designed especially for newcomers to Linux. It has a Windows-like graphical user interface and many programs similar to those found in Windows. Zorin OS also comes with an application that lets users run many Windows programs. The distribution's ultimate goal is to provide a Linux alternative to Windows and let Windows users enjoy all the features of Linux without complications.
 
How to install Zorin OS 11 - LinuxHelp

About partition instructions in above link, be sure to create primary Home partition /home after creating root partition /
Home partition is where your configuration and personal data is stored while root partition is where Linux OS is installed.

/boot = 300 to 500MB. This stores boot information and boot loader. (Its ok if you don't create boot partition, you can let OS handle it automatically.)
/ = At least 25 GB. Linux OS partition.
swap area = 2 to 5 GB. Used if you hibernate PC or in case ram is full.
/home = Higher size the better. Stores your personal data.
All partitions are set as Primary.

Create your Partitions in this order: /boot > / (root) > swap > /home.
