Are y'all actually torrenting Linux ISOs. Cus I recommend. Its way faster and fun to have a collection of like 30 distros and try and new branch of the larger Linux tree. I just assume its a joke but I only started torrenting Linux ISO because of seeing it replied so much lol.

I wish that most distros offered an RSS feed with magnet links for their releases. I'd just drop that in my torrent client and let it grab+ seed the latest version without any manual intervention.

They have mailing lists where they announce releases. Since it’s not that common for distros like Debian I don’t mind the manual labor once in a while. I only seed 3 ISOs anyway as I don’t think the rest contribute that much anyway. (Debian, Arch and Mint)

Try NixOS. It eliminates that ISO centric paradigm and trades it for one config file that defines everything and builds it from scratch.

I need to give it a shot, thanks.
