Linux distribution Zorin OS downloads surge as Windows 10 support ends

27 November 2025

The manufacturers of Zorin OS, a Linux distribution, or operating system (OS), similar to Linux Mint, which I use, claim there have been nearly eight-hundred-thousand downloads from Windows devices in the last month. This approximately coincides with Microsoft effectively ceasing support for their popular Windows 10 OS for many users.

I’m not sure how many devices in the world are running Windows OS’s — a lot/too many — but it is encouraging to see so many people willing to break the Windows’ stranglehold and try something different, given migrating to an unfamiliar OS not always the easiest of steps to take.
