Gaming-first Linux distro delivers a petabyte of ISOs in one month as users avoid forced updates to Windows 11 — Bazzite distro is another safe haven for Win 10 refugees

Bazzite, a gaming-focused Linux distro, has seen a surge in popularity with over 1 petabyte of ISOs delivered in just one month as Windows 10 users seek alternatives to Windows 11 updates. The distro offers Nvidia and AMD GPU-friendly ISOs, multiple desktop environments, and support for non-Steam game launchers. While Bazzite faces competition from SteamOS, it continues to attract users with improved game compatibility on Linux. Zorin OS, another Windows alternative, boasts a seamless transition from Windows and compatibility with older software. Despite their success, Bazzite and Zorin are smaller players compared to popular distros like Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
