    Have the gaming edition installed 7 months , except 2-3 issues had, I found the solution my own. I have to say I am impressed with Garuda ,good performance , for every day use is just amazing. After 4 years with win 10 dual boot, and hopping many distros, Garuda is the one I have installed only. It rescue me from Microsoft

      I've had the Cinnamon edition of Garuda ontwo desktop SSDs. One's with a Nvidia GT 1030 2GB graphics card, the other with a GTX 1060 6GB graphics card and an additional SSD with Win 10. Runs great with the included Nvidia 390.xx driver. 240GB SSDs are brand new for only $20. So if you wanna keep Windows AND Linux without iffy dual-booting it's pretty cheap.

    After trying a lot of Arch/Fedora/Debian based distros, I always see myself coming back to Garuda, tried a lot of the "flavors" (Kde/Qtile/XFCE/Gnome and now I'm on Cinnamon) and the Tools, tweaks and also the Overall feel of the system became my standard. I'm not distro-hopping again for a long time. It just works, looks nice and feels complete.
    Thanks for the content, been following you for 3-4 months and even though I don't plan on hopping distros so soon, it's always refreshing to see what the other folks in the community are up to. Wish ya the best!

    I love your channel & the stuff you do on here, Never used Balena Etcher myself, but I have a suggestion for you - Try out a program called "Ventoy", it let's you drag & drop Bootable ISO images & you can select them from a simple & easy to use list. No more worrying about if you checked that box or if you made the USB stick the right file system format - It's fully open-source & can be combined with Rufus & others to make easily Bootable Win10/11 & Linux (and everything else) ISOs as well as has a multi-partition mode for those who may need drivers installed at the same time the OS is installed - It really should be the new default, frankly I use it for all my USB sticks with Operating Systems on them! ^-^ I hope you learned something & if not I hope a viewer learned something useful!

    I love Garuda! I can make all the same comments that you do about it. It has been my most favorite Linux distribution. Everything has run superb, right out of the box. The only thing I have had to fight is my system losing HDMI sound on the internet only. It still works on the desktop but ever so often I have to mess with HDMI sound on internet browsers. It's fast and friendly and beautiful. It is my daily driver and if I need something windows related, I have virtual box running in Garuda. I just launch a windows virtual machine. I am completely converted over. Thanks for all the great videos!!

    Hello and thank you for such informative videos! I got bothered with Linux Mint, so I've been hopping around some distros. Fedora/Gnome was so responsive but I hated the Gnome workflow. Fedora/KDE didn't do it for me: a bit sluggish, when I tried to shutdown it froze, on booting I had to wait 2 or 3 minutes before getting any sound... Now I've landed on Big Linux. I'm loving it! Fast and beautiful. My recommendation, here. Cheers!

    10:42 The reason for the Windows clock messing up after you run any Linux distro on it from an USB, or a second hard disk, is that Windows sets the system clock to your local time, while Linux sets it to UTC time, than it converts to your local time when it shows it to you via an application. A way to fix that is to configure Linux to also set the system clock to your local time. You can do this on the terminal with the command ""sudo timedatectl set-local-rtc 1". To change it back to UTC just use "0" instead of "1".

    • @reinaldofernandez
      @reinaldofernandez Год назад +1

      Better option is to tell Windows that "RealTimeIsUniversal", that way you will never have issues with any OS changing it because now you have Windows using the REAL standard that is having the bios clock set to UTC......Open the Windows terminal as admin, and type "reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation" /v RealTimeIsUniversal /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f"...that will create a registry key telling Windows that the system time is UTC and then reboot and choose you timezone if the clock is wrong and that's it

    The time messes up in a dual boot computer because the linux uses UTC time, while windows useas RTC Local time by default. When you start system first the time from Cmos is used n pushed into system time and after which the system keep track of time.. but when u boot linux it pushes UTC time to system clock and messes the time of windows..
    To fix this you just have to set different clock for linux and windows..
    You can simply do it by a command in terminal in linux :
    timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

    Garuda is a good concept or flavor of arch that can work more so than most but for me it's not working as intended was perfect during live and install but after 3 separate re installs there was critical conflicts for things that went back a year or so. All amd hardware posted a request for help a couple weeks ago no reply much. So at present I just went back to Regata OS. Again it is a good concept but due to this issue I will not be installing it anytime soon. Thank you for the informative video buzz.

    I switched to Garuda based on this channel and it was really good. Definitely much better than others I've explore of different varieties. BUT Pop OS as of 22.04 is simply all around better --- performance, ease of use, package variety, stability, everything... now I do realize that it may be because of my particular computer and its age.

      Since Garuda is spin on Arch you can use the AUR to install packages. No other distro can compete with Arch package variety.
      I am not a personal fan of Garuda but package variety is not one of the reasons.

Old school installs for my hardware, If you want to try a gaming OS, Naboro KDE worked better on my Asus Gaming Laptop( It is LVM/Brtfs). But What works for some hardware does not on other hardware, and what you prefer is the best Linux/GNU, DE for you. They are all the same Linux/Kernal.

    The time difference results from the different time formats. Linux uses UTC, Windows local time.

    Gone is the dual boot time offset.

    Tested all the most common distros last year or so... on few laptops and few PC, most of them modern, fast machines. So far my absolute favorites for daily professional use are Manjaro KDE and KDE Neon. Garuda is these days really nice, I agress it's easy to use for beginners as well. In my case I must be able to use Davinci Resolve, Corel photo editing, Libre Office, Open VPN, I use widnows shares, NAS, LAN printers and I expect to all this must work without hassle. Most of that works perfectly. The main problem for me with Garuda it that is not so snappy and fast as Manjaro or KDE Neon. My main PC is 32gb ram Intel 5Ghz nVidoa 1060 nmve disks. It's huge performance difference compared to Manjaro KDE. Other cons for me are that Davinci wont start out of the box and the theme is little to distracting, maybe to much eye candy makes is lower. By the way, strange it takes Garuda uses 7.3 Gb of RAM after start and running only this YT video + Stacer. Exact same on Manjaro it's about 3 Gb RAM. (I have dual boot with Manjaro + Garuda on this PC, easy to compare)

    My old KDE Manjaro install, was themed almost exactly the same as Garuda's so when it completely borked AGAIN(My fault I have to use AUR packages), I fresh installed Garuda and haven't looked back...
    People, just don't realise how great it is, on a practical level, nevermind the asthetics which are subjective and you either love or hate.
    Zen Kernel by default. Runs anything, and everything, is so fast, stable and compatible with more devices than even Ubuntu's Kernel.
    Installed on BTRFS with snapshots set-up and out the box, again invaluable on a rolling release.
    And more recently, Garuda introduced the live patches/fixes that come down the pipes when Arch upstream has issues, is fantastic. Is not just, a holding back of packages as Manjaro does, it fixes them, off the bat.
    Literally, had a situation where the AUR package for my VPN provider, was abandoned, and Keep Solid hasn't updated it in ages. Not even compatible with 22.04 LTS yet?! I have a lifetime's subscription from 5yrs ago. Not having my VPN, not an option. So I nuked my Garuda KDE install for FerenOS, after watching your vids.
    I have to say, long time since I rocked anything Ubuntu based on the daily and I immediately noticed the speed difference on app loading etc.
    Yes, animations can be sped up or you can install preload to mitigate but, that's what it is...mitigation...
    Feren does have bugs, which is understandable as a franken-distro, so I'm not gonna use for long.
    Anyway, somebody on Artix's forum had the same issue with vpn-unlimited and another guy, with a greater skillset than me, has come up with a fix.
    So I'll nuke FerenOS and be back on Garuda again soon. I might give Gnome, now that it's switched to 43 in the repos, a spin for a bit...

    How would you compared Garuda to EndeavourOS? I'm really split between those two. I would go with base arch but, plain and simple I can't trust the Arch team to actually be responsive about issues. I don't really care about a long initial install, but having my distro solely maintained by people who consistently fail to even acknowledge fatally critical issues for days (I'm looking at you GRUB) or warn people of major changes (I'm looking at you SSL) I want at least some buffer from raw-arch. EndeavourOS has, thus far, struck a really nice balance for me, especially since it's close enough to baseline arch that most arch packages (AUR, github scripts, etc.) all run on it perfectly. With that said, Garuda's assistant and overall integration looks really bloody nice, so I'm wondering if I'm just taking some of what Endeavour does as granted or if I should consider switching to Garuda.

    Excellent video man, so is this still you best/favorite linux? Im a huge gamer and an artist so either of my systems (vr rig & art rig) can easily handle anything. so resource hog issues are irrelevant to me. This looks really promising, especially from a windows user standpoint I already use Krita so it already being native to linux is a great boon. my question, if you happen to know and would answer is, can garuda handle WMR vr helmets (im assuming via steam vr) which is fine but I have several VR games and VR paint programs that are non-steam like vivecraft so how would all of that work would you know? if I could port 20-50% of my regular programs I am accustomed to over via wine, crossover or what was it called... bottle? I think the move from 30+ years of winblows to here may be worth it - as long as I can use them and the majority VR gaming at maybe an 80% success rate. if I cant the move may be pointless unless a possible dual boot but doesn't windows disallow that on motherboards now? anyways, fantastic tutorial and demonstration.

I have MX-Linux and prox-mox installed on a secondary PC which I use to house my Linux software systems so I can work out creation software replacements. So fare I need the video software only available in exe or msi form.

    The minimum requirements shows 4 GB RAM. I believe that may be for the "Dragonized" version of Garuda. However, I installed Garuda KDE Lite on a decade old HP G72 laptop, having 3 GB DDR2 RAM and an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (64 bit). Garuda runs quite well on a decade old laptop and it took less than ten minutes to install from a live USB stick.

    I liked Garuda's concept what is ready to use and easy to maintain. However Garuda's dev should consider low-spec users as well. Im KDE lover and Garuda's KDE not light when compare to Manjaro or EOS.
    When I try Garuda's Dra4nized version on 16 Threads 16 GB RAM Laptop 💻, OS gets heavy and not stable on CPU usage etc. It always jumping for nothing and energy consumption as naturally.
    So my advice to Garuda's dev please release same Garuda's tools including version for lightweight based iso.
    How Zorin OS and some distros release spins then Garuda Linux also could be Light-Mid-Heavyweight versions.
    Yeah despite my prejudice, I also liked Garuda Linux.

      The Garuda download page also has images using the lighter-weight Xfce and LXQt DEs. Perhaps you missed them? I recently installed dr460nized on a 4 core 6 GB Celeron mini PC because it looked cool. So far it hasn't been particularly sluggish, but then again I don't use the Celeron box for gaming.

    I have been using Linux for years now both Manjaro, Mint. In recent months however, First in Manjaro then in Mint v21 There has been a change in the kernel which has completely broken network connections to other machines, Linux, Windows and even my NAS. I was using hardwired mounts in the fstab file which worked very well. It stopped working a few months ago with Manjaro and now also in Mint 21. I have looked on many occasions for a solution to this and have seen a few different suggestions and none work. Samba has been broken for years and is not an option. So I have had to stay with Mint 20.3 as it works fine. It will be supported until 2025. So for anyone needing network connections to other shares, this is a problem. So, with all the reviews of Linux new distros no one is talking about the elephant in the room, broken network connections. To many users this problem makes Linux unuseable moving forward. Hopefully someone will figure out a reliable workaround and not 6 pages of edits to multiple config files. We need an app that allows you to find and auto mount your network shares that is easy for all users. I hate windows but... the networking works well.

    Hi I just installed it and is kind of overwhelming how many options out of the box it has. Thank you for your video. This system is that it comes with dark coloured windows that looks great but that cover the letters of some apps that come preinstalled. What about that? got to change all for the sake of some. Besides that like it a lot looks fast and stable. Another thing is that some this where not translated into spanish am seeing. Some option of desktop preferences reads in english, if you do not know english. But the worst thing is that newcomers MUST NOT install this distro. Why? THE DARK THEME is HARD and not posible to change and half of installed apps's letters cannot be seen. This is shit plain and simple. You know what the forum say about this? listen. Arch is not for user is for the developers needs, since they spend so much time on screen and daRK is safier. This is Crap, since a button to change What blocks your reading of the apps options is a MUST. The forums are full of no straight solutions to queries like this. The other thing is that SO MANY options are so confusing so many things but you cannot do simple things. the new icons and theme that make this distro unique make it AWKWARD to get used to. I say again MANY built in apps come with dark letters AND THE DARK MODE wish you good luck changing it. For new comers ITS NOT AN OPTION PERIOD. Just works for people that spend their life time understanding linux even considering that EVERYThing is out of the box mouse reachable. Looks awesome but is made by idiots. Forums YOU CHECK IT do not believe me, consist of facebook idle talks with no specific references and solutions. Fuck this distro you know fuck it. When you cannot change a theme and you have thousand options to do simple things that do not need that much you find yourself having to go to school for simple things but you cannot change a theme into light color. In my opinion average users will uninstall this distro the same day they installed it.

    Snapper default is to save the last 10 snaps. So if you discover a problem 11 install ago its too late. Thus when installing adding a daily and a startup snapshot is essential. In my case pipewire was clashing and something was stuttering videos, including in web pages but it all worked fine in MX boot. I was never able to find out what so 40 hours of install app debugging was wasted. Luckily I kept notes. It does assume your cpu is vulkan capable. If you discover your cpu is not vulkan capable in practice (N3050) you can expect a lot of games to fail, despite nothing stopping vulkan install and uninstall

But new users and people who use their computers for important work can lose precious information. It is acceptable for gaming, youtube videos, surfing the web, but if you don't have things you can't afford to lose it is not good. Thanks for your hard work.

When updates come, I update. 2 weeks in an update destroyed my Nvme, and 4 other drives, then a year later my fav Utuber said the bugs were fixed. So I tried again and lost another Nvme drive.
