Windows fatigue continues to push thousands of gamers to switch to this Linux distro
Bazzite, a Linux distro that has a lot in common with Valve's SteamOS, is designed specifically with gaming in mind, offering a console-like experience that ditches the majority of Windows 11's most annoying features.
In recent usage statistics posted to X, Bazzite shared weekly growth of roughly 1.25x over the past 30 days. To put the number in perspective, this means that Bazzite pulls in roughly 50,000 weekly users. In early December, the team behind the gaming-focused Linux distro confirmed that it served over 2 petabytes of data, and then in late November, Bazzite boasted about 780,000 downloads in just one month.
If you're unaware, one petabyte is 1,000 terabytes, and each terabyte includes 1,000 gigabytes -- so 2 petabytes is a lot of data.
