There’s torrent clients in every linux distro I have ever seen. Most come with Transmission, but it is rather simple and limited. Deluge is a more full featured torrent client (free and open source too!) that is on most distro repositories.
on debian based systems you can type: sudo apt install deluge and it will download it for you.
Linux has always been way more open to the idea of p2p file sharing, since most distros offer a torrent download for their OS.
