I have been using Zorin OS since version 16. I was mostly returning to Windows because of the Adobe products unavailability on Linux. Now I'm using Zorin 18.1 on a dual boot with Windows 11. Honestly, I live for the day to dump Windows completely cause I don't like anything about it. The issue I have with Zorin 18.1 on my laptop is: when I close the lid, laptop goes to suspend mode. But instead of pausing all the processes, I can feel that laptop is hot on touch, which means that it's working same as when it's powered on. It should be saving battery, instead, it drains my whole battery within 2 hours, and I can't power it on anymore until I connect it to adapter. This doesn't happen when I'm using Windows. I tried setting grub to use deep sleep, but then closing the lid acts as if I turned it off. I can't continue where I left my work once opening the lid. So I guess suspend mode is kinda broken on my laptop.
My laptop model is Dell Latitude 7390 2-in-1 with i7-8650U. Hope this can be solved.
You can try to switch to Xorg (=X11) if you are on Wayland. Logout and at login click on your username then a cog wheal appears at the bottom right corner. There are two options where you can switch between Xorg and Wayland.
I'm still testing. But I can see that xorg switch probably activated this gnome keyboard popup all the time. I checked my settings and it is disabled, but why it pops up, I have no idea. And it seems I lost the ability to drag and drop my files/icons from desktop to ChatGPT directly through the dashboard. It used to work with wayland.
you can also get ride of the visual keyboard, you have to disable Zorin Screen Keyboard Panel Button extension.
if you don't have extension manager installe go in Softwares and install it
