There's nothing wrong with using BTRFS. It's been around for a long time and it has some interesting features. Use it at ease for a while, and then you can decide if you would consider it again in the future. It's all about whatever works for you at the end of the day.
Prolly just haven't got to it yet.
It wasn't so good when i try to use.
In fact, I don't know if it's due to the beta version, but the screen goes black for a second or two every 3 or 4 minutes (on a small Lenovo tower with an Iiyama screen).
The problem is the same with Wayland and Xorg.
And whether the graphics driver for Intel is free or not.
Any ideas?
A little more Feedback:
I updated my Beta today and there was an Update for the Wallpapers. So, now there are more Wallpapers.
I really like the Mono Color One's with the Option for light and dark Mode! Really nice Idea.
From the Picture Wallpapers, I see a Problem for one. There is one with the Name Flower-Blossom which shows a Branch with Blossoms. My Problem with that is that around the Branch with the Blossoms is a Blur Effect - around it, not the Background. I find that visually not very ... favorable.
Feature Request:
Zorin OS 16 & 17 current Display Zoom Functionality, does not have 150% display zoom, forcing one to use 200%, which is a little too much.
Request Zorin OS 18, to have 150% available. A lot of people are asking for this!
150% is only with Fractional Scaling available. So, You can activate it and then use it. Unfortunately it doesn't work so good.
I remarked this today:
The right click on laptop touchpad is not working on an older device.
Neither at files or folders nor at webpages.
Asus Switch 5
Zorin 18 has been announced for 10/14/25. Any chance @AZorin or @zorink can chime in and let us know what beta feedback they've adopted for the stable ISO? I don't see that as being too much to ask, since we've all helped them here with the feedback provided in making Zorin OS a better product for all concerned. Thanks.
Will Zorin Lite 18 be released at the same time next week?
From my past experience what I have observed, the chances are NO.
The work for Lite starts after the stable release of the Core version. Last time, after the stable release of 17 core, it took around 4 months for the 17 Lite to release. So my guesses are 18 Lite will be in 2026.
Can I update my Zorin Beta directly to Zorin Final on Tuesday without reinstalling?

It will come as an update. So, with that said, you will surf your way to success, plus appreciate the friendships you will make, through Zorin OS 18. Can I get a high 5? Heck yeah! ![]()
Super

I assume an upgrade from 17 won’t be available on 18’s release day, right?
I'm so excited, I'm happy. I hope it all works out. I think the world sees that Zorin OS is the future.
I have currently tested Linux Mint, MX Linux, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Zorin 18 Beta.
For me personally, Zorin is the most suitable and I like it best.
Zorin is and remains my daily operating system.
Many thanks to @AZorin and @zorink for their work. I am looking forward to updating my Zorin 18 Beta to the final version.
I'm not sure yet whether I'll get the Pro version this time. To be honest, I don't really need the additional features of the Pro edition, as I've noticed.
I've been using Zorin OS 17 Pro for over a year, but with version 18, I'll probably stick with the Core version. Instead of buying the Pro version again, I'd rather make a donation to the Zorin developers—just to say thank you for their great work.
It is and never was not about the additional "features".
See it rather as a "Thank you" for developing and maintaining Zorin OS.
All the hours of coding and improving.
(maybe quite the normal job and dedicate their time into this project/product)
EDIT: should have read your post to the end ![]()
I would think no. Maybe a couple Days to Weeks later.
