Zorin OS 18 has reached 2 million downloads, with 1M+ Windows defections fueling one of Linux’s biggest growth stories in 2026

Linux is known for working with a very wide range of computers and devices. Unlike Windows 11, it doesn’t have strict hardware requirements like TPM 2.0, meaning older but still functional computers can continue to be used. This makes Linux a great option for people who want to avoid replacing working hardware simply to stay secure and receive updates.
