I just downloaded this last month. Not only did this help me with my gaming addiction (I played too many AAA Shooters) it looks great, and runs great as well.
Kvantum is a tool for making applications like dolphin or other apps appear translucent. Much of what is configured on this system can be added to any arch installation by using the KDE settings > colors and themes and then editing different parts of your plasma shell as needed. I've spent much of the past two days tinkering with these settings. I didn't mean to, but my KDE environment ended up looking similar to the garuda configuration (utterlySweet application style, utterlyRound plasma style, shades of purple window decorations etc.) I didn't spend much time in ~/.config to get the look. I also started using the fish shell, even on clusters at work. My point being, it's difficult to avoid emulating garuda because its just so slick
@@RandyHanley Lesson learned: the difference between vanilla Arch and Garuda/Manjaro/Endeavor is marginal. I could have saved several hours if I stuck with a garuda installation and made far fewer edits to my desktop
On my system Garuda had a lot of issues at start (exemple: couldn't update). I had to make a "sudo garuda-update remote" to reset all keys and repositories before I could update the OS.

i use Garuda Linux, i installed it a few days ago and i'm sticking with it. mostly out of spite for windows XD i run an RX 7900 GRE graphics card which only came out a few months ago, Garuda was the only linux distro that supports it out of the box (tried Ubuntu and Mint, neither supported the GRE, maybe Fedora supports it). it being based on Arch scared me a bit for a n00b, but the updater is really easy to use. only pain point was getting my second NVME to work, i have two 2tb m.2 drives and getting my secondary drive working was a bit of a pain. still a pain slightly, every time i boot the PC i need to open the file browser and open my secondary m.2, then close it, otherwise all my Steam games don't show up, they're all installed there. one thing i'll say - Garuda Linux comes with two versions of Steam which is a bit confusing, one native to Arch that has less compatibility but better performance, and a standard runtime that isn't specialized, but has a few extra framedrops in cutting edge games. would recommend native actually, haven't run into an issue yet (tho maybe i'm just lucky).
I’ve heard that Garuda is great for gaming. I’ve never actually tried it and I’ve only tried Nobara for gaming. Sounds very awesome though! Thank you for sharing.
I was going to say: you should try Nobara.. but it looks like you already have. I still can't choose which one to use.. Garuda or Nobara. What do you recommend?
I'm facing a problem with my brightness control I cannot change the brightness dec or inc it wont make a change and my screen dim it hurt my eyes it says in brighntess its 100 but I can feel that its not what should I do to fix this problem?
Thank you for commenting! I hear you! Windows recall just got enabled on my windows PC this week and it drives me nuts. Even with it disabled, I still don’t trust that it fully is disabled.
During the initial grub menu before install there is an option for loading with proprietary Nvidia Graphics, and once the OS is installed the system will prompt you to update which will also keep your Nvidia driver up to date on the stable side.
Can it span a wallpaper across multiple monitors?😂 That's one of my biggest issues, that and I like my inactive windows to be 50% opacity and active windows 88% opacity! Give me a distro that can do this and remain right on resources and you have a winner! Fully open to suggestions
Installed yesterday, was an easy and fast installation, gentlemen I'm officially a permanent user of Linux till end of my days.
That is awesome! Thank you for stopping by.

@@SIRCAM73 Thank you! Very much appreciated.
@@Robyn-Lee-Z that is so awesome. Congrats on the freedom!

That is awesome! I need to really try this out more for gaming and see how I can get it set up.
I use this as well. I switched to it about three years ago. It is really a great flavor of Linux especially with the Zen kernel.
I will have to try that kernel! Thanks for stopping by!

That is very impressive and sounds like a lot of work! Nice work though.

I see what you mean. It seems like I often see these Arch distros that have fixer tools to get the system to update properly.
gonna switch to this after getting mad at microsoft and windows. byebye windows
excellent!
Seems to be the common trend.
Same my windows infected by virus
Been using it the past few years, only issue I've ever had was a problem with one update, but was relatively easy to fix with a snapshot
That is great to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience.
I was so excited to use this but my wifi kept turning off and one. It got old to fast soni went back to windows
I totally understand! I had a Linux distribution do that same thing before with WiFi and it’s very frustrating

I have trouble choosing as well! I personally find myself using Nobara more.

if i strart to use linux it will be Garuda KDE Dr460nized
Awesome!
Once I build my PC, I'm putting this as my OS. Screw microsoft recall and whatever else BS microsoft is doing.

how to get nvidia drivers on garuda
This is what I did w my Nvidia drivers and it runs like a dream ruclips.net/video/XOAQe8dwGRw/видео.html

@@n0viewers409 i see, alright my friend thanks
Wow! That app is there. I don't know what it is. Sorry, that was funny. As a noob Linux user, mostly, all the names of apps I don't know.
😂Thank you!
Main thing i dont like is the deafult wallpaper looks soooo aI generated with weird lines and poor detailing
I hear you on the AI Generated look.

That is a great question. I’m actually not sure about that. There might be a piece of software that can do that.
In my days at Ubuntu, 20.14 versiin it could span wallpapers, Iwas using two monitors, and tweaks gave full control of windows opacity
Hoping you see this comment, i have an intel arc a770 16gb from sparkle. Will intel Gpus work with an arch based distro?
@@8bittim I’m not 100%!sure but I believe they should
Its great but for some reason videos stutter
