It is with great pleasure that we announce the release of Linuxfx version 11.2 22.04.4. This release is now based on Ubuntu 22.04.4 Jammy Jellyfish. Support for .exe and .msi applications has been improved with Wine 7.20, kernel 5.15 is also present in this release, improving support for more modern hardware. We updated KDE and the entire application base, which is now downloaded directly from the Neon repositories. WxDesktop, all its tools and themes have also been updated. Support for android games and apps has been improved. There are several new features and improvements, so we recommend downloading this version immediately!
We've updated the following components of the distribution. For other information, see Notes. KDE Plasma to version 5.26.2, KDE Frameworks to version 5.99.0, and KDE Gear to version 22.08.2. Firefox to version 106.0.2. We've decided to add the NVIDIA Proprietary driver to the default installation, currently version 520.56.06, along with NVIDIA Prime, but not our X11 configuration. We've decided to change our policy about including this particular piece of proprietary software to make this distribution more accessible to users and to avoid creating a separate ISO file. The minimal ISO does not include the NVIDIA Proprietary driver, as we want to keep the size of the ISO image small. We're aware that NVIDIA had released an open-source driver, too; however, it only supports a handful of Professional graphics cards and almost none of their Consumer graphics cards. If NVIDIA decides to support more graphics cards with this driver, we will include it instead.
It was a significant update, and despite the extensive testing, issues were reported and we've worked hard to get them solved and roll them up promptly. We planned to release this update on Sunday, but we experienced some infrastructure issues that prevented this.

When documents are created on other platforms, they often use the default fonts from Microsoft Office/365 or Windows. However, these fonts are under a proprietary license, so they can't be pre-installed in Zorin OS for all users. Because of this, documents may display with incompatible fonts instead. This can cause documents to not only look different than intended but also to shift their layout and corrupt their formatting. Because of how prevalent these proprietary fonts are in documents, this issue became a significant barrier to those hoping to switch to Zorin OS for their work environment. Zorin OS 16.2 comes with an updated font selection to help solve this problem. We've introduced Open Source metric-compatible alternatives to some of the most popular fonts. They appear similar to their proprietary counterparts and have the same character dimensions, so documents display with the correct formatting.
