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

Any Linux distro do HDR / VRR yet?

Iirc SteamOS JUST added it. So clones of it should be seeing it soon

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?

I think thats the old steamos. The current one is arch and isn't quite public release yet but there are a few clones of it.
