    Did Linux OSs move into torrents later? I’m surprised one of those isn’t an older active torrent. I mean sure there’s no point in actually installing those OSs now but people would still seed.

      Ther’s really no point in seeding a 20 year old iso of an os that evolves that quickly

      20 years ago we were on the 2.4 kernel just shortly before switching to 2.6, wifi was a mess, GPUs were even more mess

      now om gaming on my linux machine with better FPS than the windows version

            I’ve just googled steamos, that’s Debian 8 right (which is eol, weird…)

            So I’m guessing Debian 8 (and hopefully newer) will get support too soon?

          Kde 6 should have basic hdr…and I can’t find it, but I swore I’ve seen in the past week some gnome based os had some support…

            It’s been a while for me using a gui for Linux (headless Debian is my go-to)

            Does that mean Kubuntu? (KDE Ubuntu) And for VRR (GSYNC/FREESYNC) would Kubuntu also support that do you know?

            When I’ve tried to Google before, it seems like no distro really supports these as well as windows ATM (although the steam OS comment may show things are changing)

      Most advice I’ve seen says you shouldn’t look for distros on torrent sites, and official torrents tend to disappear after each new release.

        Distros with torrents tend to publish their own torrent file or magnet link on their site
