The latest point release of Zorin OS is here, as an interesting alternative to Linux Mint for those still searching for a replacement for Windows 10 as the dust settles over the ruins. Zorin OS 18.1 is out . This is the first point release of the company's Ubuntu Noble-based series, arriving some six months after Zorin OS 18, whose beta version we looked at in September last year . This release picks up the updates from February's Ubuntu 24.04.4 , including kernel 6.17 from the Ubuntu Questing Quokka release . The subsequent Ubuntu LTS release, 26.04, is due later this week, and last month we looked at the Resolute Raccoon beta . Zorin, though, moves to its own beat, with a policy of releasing new versions when they're ready. Version 18.1 also has additional updates of its own, over and above the core OS components it inherits from Ubuntu such as the latest version of LibreOffice, release 26.2, and new versions of its many customizations to the desktop environment.…
