Release Zorin OS 16

I believe you 100%.
I just pointed out the (almost) complete absence of Developer participation to this forum.

I wonder if they have the cash to pay a temp., someone to just work
on responding to the community, members, maybe do some social media stuff.
I'll do my part in seeing that happen by paying the $39 when it comes out...

I know a large part of this is our impatience. We know it's going to be better and can't wait to get installed onto our pc's and move forward. It's like this EVERY release. We get it, and we are happy like kids on Christmas morning... OK, we may have a spoiled child or two who is unhappy. But the vast majority of us will appreciate the hard work... not being 'In the Know' is hard to deal with...
Just tell yourselves Sept. 1st. When it comes out sooner, you'll be smiling...

And, in all fairness, what alexandros mentioned about migrating to another distribution. Late last night I did install FerenOS on my laptop to try it out.
I'm liking the whole plasma thing. Might as well give other distro's a try
while we wait.. And there's nothing wrong with that...

Ah, the confession time :latin_cross:

Late last night, I did install LinuxLite on my HP mini netbook. Windows 11 was overwhelming to Intel Atom + 2GB RAM hardware. It works almost as fast as Zorin 15,3 which is not surprising since it also uses XFCE desktop :mouse2:

FrenchPress... Traitor...lol

I'm with you. I could keep looking for the release email, checking the site.
But I chose to try something new. Was curious about the Plasma DE.
I tried Feren prior, back when it was 'based' off Linux Mint Cinn, but now based on Ubuntu/KDE. And other then trying to figure out how to get the trash icon on my desktop, I'm really liking it. Sort of reminds me Ultimate/Core (I'm a Zorin Lite user, but have dabbled with Ultimate/core too). And it definitely runs quicker than LM Cinn, which I had on here.

Zorin OS 16 is still beta, but the final release should be available in a couple of weeks.

Hello:
First of all welcome to the community.
That's right. According to the developers, Zorin Os 16 in its stable version should be released during the first half of August.

Guys check this out !!

Under the Other Updates->Zorin OS Base, there are updates for FIRMWARE UPDATE DAEMON, its library and plugin library. Does this mean Zorin OS 16 is going to launch in a few days from now. I got this window today.

Well. The predicted time period is over. I thought it would really come in July. So now we will have to wait until it's released. I read in a post that it should be released in the first half of August.

LMAO Aravi.... My feeble guess of 8/7 has past. I was wrong.
The last 3 releases, as far as days of week, have been on a Wednesday, Thursday & Tuesday. Makes sense it would fall on a weekday rather than on a weekend.

So I'm hoping for this week!
