Mint is an excellent distro for a server platform and any usage that you may need.

Mint gets slow with time of use on PC, takes time to open files, programs and crashes my system, high consumption of RAM and cannot be optimized automatically without applying code or clean installation.

The best part of Zorin is its smooth performance without any glitches, and even it works better with older systems. The other aspects which I like most are its software repository, which has a lot of useful software.
