What? It’s based on an older Ubuntu distro. 

I think the latest available version is based on Ubuntu 23.10? That should be ok for a bit longer, especially considering the issues I've been having since going to 24.04. But to each their own.

Yes but they just recently updated to it. It will be years before they update again.

Looks like they tend to rely on LTS releases, which isn't a bad thing if you want a solid system rather than bleeding edge features.

I could imagine they'll move to 24.04 by the end of the year. That gives it enough time for the current bugs to be ironed out.

I've got to say, I'm not impressed with 24.04. It seems like it broke more than it fixed somehow...

Agreed. I do not recommend installing it (even if you can).

Which is fine; I was just giving an FYI.

I'd be surprised to see Zorin 18 release by end of year. There was a 2 year span between 16 and 17 and 17 came out the end of last year.

 

Also,  Zorin 17 is based upon Ubuntu 22.10, and has backported only the graphics stack from 23.10.
