Zorin OS Breaks Download Record as Windows 10 Users Seek Alternatives
Zorin OS 18 achieved the "biggest launch ever" with over 100,000 downloads in just 2 days, according to its makers.
The Ubuntu-based Linux distro was released on the same day Windows 10 support ended, October 14, which proved to be a strategic move. The Zorin Group announced on their X/Twitter account that their latest release surpassed 100,000 downloads in over 2 days.
A notable statistic reveals that over 72 percent of downloads came from Windows users. This suggests that the company's promotional efforts to encourage users to try Zorin OS instead of discarding their capable PCs has been successful.
Microsoft's decision to mandate TPM 2.0 and specific CPU series for Windows 11 is likely to create a significant amount of e-waste from businesses, educators, and other groups.
The Zorin Group's strategy has paid off, with many Windows users seeking alternatives.
