Zorin OS 18.1 has been released, arriving six months after the original launch with 3.3 million downloads. Built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, it brings improvements to Advanced Window Tiling (reordering layouts, edge snapping, foreground grouping), a tray icon toggle, and right-to-left script support for Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu users. LibreOffice 26.2 is preinstalled, and the Windows-to-Linux app suggestion database has grown by over 40% to cover 240+ apps. A new Lite edition based on Xfce 4.20 is also available, targeting older and lower-spec hardware, with a restyled file manager, fingerprint reader support, and a refreshed theme. Both editions are supported until at least April 2029.
