Windows Migration

Zorin OS 18, a Linux distribution designed to resemble Windows, has reached 2 million downloads in under three months since its release. The launch coincided with Microsoft's end of support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, prompting many users to explore alternatives to upgrading to Windows 11. Over 75% of downloads, or at least 1.5 million, came from Windows users facing hardware compatibility issues.
