When Will the Next Version of Zorin OS Be Released?
Learn about the release cadence of point releases and major new versions of Zorin OS.
Point releases
To ensure that you get the most up-to-date system possible out of the box, we launch incremental point releases of Zorin OS approximately every 6 months. They typically come pre-installed with newer software updates, security patches, updated apps, improved hardware support, and additional features.
If you installed a previous version of Zorin OS within the latest major release series, you can upgrade to the newest point release by installing the latest updates from the Software Updater.
Major releases
We follow a “release when ready” policy for major new versions of Zorin OS, so there isn’t an exact date set for launch. However, we generally release major new versions of Zorin OS roughly every 2 years.
Zorin OS 18 is tentatively planned for launch in the 2nd half of 2025. However, this time frame is subject to change based on its development progress.
In the meantime, we recommend using Zorin OS 17, which will be supported with software updates and security patches until at least June 2027. You will also be able to directly upgrade from Zorin OS 17 to 18 shortly after its release.
