This does look like a good one for people who want to use Arch but don't want to set up Arch from scratch. Reminds me of Nobara for Fedora.

I've been trying out Linux distros on VM for years now because I was preparing to eventually leave Windows behind. Garuda was one of my favorite Distros. I eventually installed Arch on real hardware, but I really was missing the setup of Garuda that did most of the heavy lifting of a new installation. Especially as someone who mostly had experience with Linux servers, Garuda did many things you don't even know you need until you stumble upon and have to implement / install yourself on a normal Arch.

Watched more and more content you make nowadays (opensuse, garuda, tierlists) and after seeing 3-4 vids now in a row, I decided to subscribe, because I see that you're very knowledgable, and always on point! No huss and fuss, just straight up truth. I wish more linux youtubers should exist out there just like you!! :)

I switched from Mint to Garuda a few months ago and I really like it ! The different tools and assistants are great and Apex runs well for me! I have to admit though that I did change the default theme after a day or so 😅.

Been using Dragonized Gaming Edition for almost 2 years now and lemme tell you...the only time I'm ever on my Windows partition anymore is when I need to sync new music on my phone via iTunes lol. Sure the ISO is bloated, but I just manually remove anything I don't need, plus my rig is plenty beefy to not really care about the slight bump in resource usage. Anything I want that isn't already pre-installed I can just grab through Octopi or good ol' reliable Sudo paru in the terminal. I've tried other distros like PopOS, Nobara and even attempted Arch from scratch (archinstall just refused to work for me), but Garuda's out the box config is so goddamn good that I just have no desire to switch to anything else anytime soon.

My first impressions were the same..."ah, well this is too flamboyant and flashy for what I want a distro to be". Hah! It has to be one of the most stable rolling release distro's I have ever used. I have not broken it permanently for over a year. And for all the memory it consumes, It runs everything so well and is very speedy for what it is. It runs games much better than I thought it ever would and they have all ran very very well. It is my favorite Arch distro with several appearance tweaks that I prefer. I love it and it is on several of my family's computers.

Just got into linux. Found your video and giving this a try❤

Great review, I will try Garuda for sure!

I'm using Nobara and am happy with it as a distro for work and play

im using garuda since 2 years ago, completely wiped windows from my drive. it's pretty solid, perfect if you want an up to date system that's set up for gaming and general purpose. you don't need to memorise the terminal stuff, everything can be pointed and clicked at. i installed an extra lts kernel if something in the bleeding edge breaks, but in the last 2 years i never needed to use it. performance is pretty good, i dont' notice any obvious slow down when playing games compared to windows. and if you have any problems or questions the community support is solid. recently i tried nobara just for fun, and just realised how many things i took for granted on garuda. there was so many things needed to be done on nobara before i could start gaming, and the nobara store was missing some applications i needed, updating was so much slower, it was so much more hassle than garuda

This was very informative and i might try garuda. that live boot bug does seem like a bummer though. But it seems worth it if you get past that hurdle. Im curious on your opinion on cachy os since you seem to be a high performance "frame chaser" kind of gamer. Cachy os being the high performance kind of distro.

Yeah on the point of performance tweaks i felt using the gaming edition kept my frequency too high and my laptop was running hot no mater what. The gnome version works for me.

Ive been using Garuda for 3 months. I love it. Ryzen 5 7600 64g DDR5 250g NVME for os Dual 2tb NVME RAID 1 for games And onboard graphics (getting a Radeon RX 6800 XT )

I had a bug in KDE LITE EDITION : Icons not showing on welcome screen... don't know if it is repaired.

ive used the snapshot in garuda after copy pasta some crap i didnt understand and broke os, worked great and i learned a lesson lol

I put Garuda on a Gigabyte G5 Gaming Laptop (NVidia 3050 so nothing brand new) and it runs pretty snappy. Slick, smooth and makes my laptop look better just being on lol. Windows 11 has irritated me to an extreme. And Arch is known for requiring a bit of know-how, but this was ready out of the box. It's stable as a rock when playing games... even through Wine. I only need to figure out how to get Retroarch to load the cores... but that's not a key point for me. Dragonized Gaming is just sleek (it saved me a lot of time installing anything!). When I play games, there is something I notice... the performance is similar to Windows in games, but the fans aren't running at 100% like they do in Windows. This Distro is crazy efficient and not top heavy. I also recommend "Heroic Games Launcher" for Linux to have access to Epic and GOG and having access to games through Wine.

Why do different linux distros only post a generic name into the Boot Menu (F11). Many Ubuntu spins or Fedora variants - only list "Ubuntu" or "Fedora" - whereas - its Debian, or a specific spin of Fedora ? this is strange......

Ofcourse Garuda kde is my default distro and i don't think i am going to change my mind soon. I tried manjaro as well, it was my first distro, fun fact manjaro never break anything in my case but i am using garuda because of bleeding edge packages and performance.

What icon pack did you go with?

Salut A1RM4x, vidéo interressante. Pour moi ce qui compte c'est ce qui se trouve sous le capot, le thème s'il ne plait pas on peut le changer. Pour Samba-serveur installé d'office c'est pas terrible. 😉

Happy Garuda user here. Finally mived away from Ubuntu; Agreed about the, um, *intense* default wallpaper, but that's easily fixed...and I went with 64GB of RAM so I can run Ubuntu in a VM for work. Only hassle ived is on the laptop which i let fet out of date and had issues when i finally did tell it to update.

if you can read you can use garuda, after changing the ugly theme its an awesome os due to the included scripts and maintenance stuffs

i have a intel processor and nvidia graphics card , how can install and run davinci resolve in garuda linux

Your issue with yout 4090 is now gone - I installed last night after a 2 week test on a laptop and it installed and runs without a hitch

i switched from win 11 to garuda os, and welp it was easy, if you are smart enough to google problems its the same process for linux as windows lmao

my man you fail to understand that the 4090 with linux is not linux fault it is nvidia for not providing an open source driver like amd does, if you want linux just use amd lmao, i got a 6900xt and welp at 1440p its a beast

Wait... Did he just... 1. When did Yuzu and ciyra anounced that they are discontinuing? Because, did he knew earlier? This video is uploaded in July 2023 and Mr. Sujano's video is iploaded 5 March 2024 just 10 days ago from commenting this. 2. Is it still posible to install Yuzu and Citra through Garuda Linux? 3. Does Source code download automatically even if it's no longer on official websites?

If microsoft don't extend support for win 10 or don't change the requirements for win 11 although slow it will be the downfall for windows, and i am 100% sure that most of us won't immigrate to mac os.

In my opinion, Garuda Lite is the best option for me also..

How many hacking tools from Kali is available on Garuda? I love how Garuda looks and feels, but I need Kali's functionality and tools

Bah ui garuda les bails y'a que les rajeu qui crache dessus

im loving Garuda 1 Month now

Damn, that's one thick accent BTW gaming with Nvidia on Linux is just masochistic, stick with AMD

I tried garuda once, i set everything up, all was working well until i rebooted and the os didn’t load anymore. Was instantly done.

dude its the shit and easily customizable and the fish terminal is amazing and helpful for linux noobs like me, i got da powahhhhhhhh
