Would of been nice to have a LIQUID theme.
I hope I can update from beta to final. I'm so excited that I'm using the beta version all the time.

I have found something that I have known since Zorin OS 17: if you install Zorin OS, the application management can sometimes be set to user-defined, and you can't change that. Do you know how to fix it?

Two little things:
-
Why ask for a password now for updates made from the graphical interface?
-
And, I don't know if this concerns Zorin or the GNOME developers, but when launching an application, no graphical information is given to inform you that the work is well done.
You could try it with a new Installation. At least I did that. And it would be good when You report that over the Feedback Function.
That depends from the Update if it is neccessary.
I've tried to plug some usb keys and it didn't work either. So I think that sadly my usb port died.
Thank you for your help!
I like the updated theme, much more nuanced.

I used Zorin OS 18 beta today. It was quite fast and smooth. However, because it was a beta, some things weren't working. Like my keyboard not working in some places. While the color isn't much different, it wasn't the old color. The new color is gorgeous! Is there a time for the official release? I'm eagerly awaiting it. I'm back on Windows for now, but I'll be back when Zorin OS 18 comes out. The webapps program looks like it will be very useful, too. For example, it would be great to add the online Photopea as a webapp and run it like a program. Can someone please tell me when version 18 will be released?

No there isn't an official Date yet.
Anyway, I'm already using the beta every day and hope I can update from beta to final.

I have a feeling the upgrade path won't be there: it this was Zorin 17.4, then yes. But since the version is incrementing to 18, it's considered "new". We'd have to pay for Pro again. The moderators can correct me if I'm wrong on that. But I don't think I am. Just FYI
You are correct: For Pro users, the download link for 17 will remain valid for 17 point releases only.
Upgrading to Zorin OS 18 can be done through the Upgrader tool, but only to 18 Pro with the purchase of 18 Pro.
IF a Zorin OS 17 pro user wants to switch to Zorin OS 18 Core, they will need to perform a fresh install.

No. It has errors.
Everything works fine for me. I only encountered only one bug for now: the window does not maximize to full screen and there are gaps when I use the top edge of the screen.
EDIT:
I just realized that it's not a bug, but a feature... I just don't understand why there are margins for options when you want to use full screen.
Someone in another thread has said Z18(Core)Beta is Wayland only. That is a worry.
Is it not like Z17 where you can chose Wayland (default) or X11?
Can someone testing Z18 please reply to clarify this.
Well, I bought Zorin 17.3 pro about a month ago. If it turns out that I have to shell out another 549 SEK or something like that to upgrade to 18! then it's definitely a thank you and goodbye to Zorin for me. Luckily I also have Linux Mint on the other hard drive.
I can confirm both Wayland and X11 are available just like before, on the login screen.

I have both Options. But it comes with Wayland by default.

The ZorinGroup is understanding of the uncertainty of timing.
I would recommend contacting them using the Pro users contact form.
