Generally, yes, it's the user. If security worries you, have a scout round the web for ways that you can keep your Linux system more secure.

Where did you hear that Zorin is more secure than Ubuntu?

As Zorin is based on Ubuntu, I suspect that there is no there, there (to quote Dorothy Parker).

I think he was simply pointing out that Zorin is based on Ubuntu and 'under the hood' they are pretty much the same. Zorin claims to be more like windows and easy to use neither of which would make it more secure. Not much difference between them really.

You wish they would post things like what online.
