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.

Most advice I've seen says you shouldn't look for distros on torrent sites, and official torrents tend to disappear after each new release.

Distros with torrents tend to publish their own torrent file or magnet link on their site
