Zorin unsupported by linux install script

[borgrel]

I used the 'curl' command provided for installing zerotier and was informed that ZorinOS is unsupported (which is very strange as I have installed this several times previously with no trouble at all) It was also suggested that I post that the issue occurred.

I have found a method to install it as per: Linux Questions

and duplicated his suggestion where I pre-empt the decision tree by redefining the ID from zorin to ubuntu as follows:

if [ ! -f /etc/os-release ]; then
	echo '*** Cannot detect Linux distribution! Aborting.'
	exit 1
fi

source /etc/os-release

#added for zorin compatability
if [ $ID == "zorin" ]; then

    ID="ubuntu"
    VERSION_ID="22.04"

fi
#end of custom code

if [ $ID == "debian" ] || [ $ID == "raspbian" ]; then
	echo '*** Detected Debian Linux, creating /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zerotier.list'

	# Debian testing/sid does not declare a VERSION_ID in /etc/os-release
	if [ -z "$VERSION_ID" ] || [ $VERSION_ID -gt $MAX_SUPPORTED_DEBIAN_VERSION ]; then

Obviously not the neatest solution but quick enough and and Zorin works just fine for all its versions defaulting to ubuntu PPA's etc

You might want to add a version translating array as you used to map Ubuntu versions to LTS versions though since Zorin15, 16 and 17 have different ubuntu bases
