    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 😅.

      I put it on a gaming laptop (Gigabyte G5, Intel i5-11400, 32GB, Nvidia 3050), and when I play games like Apex and others... I notice the fans aren't going into overdrive like they did in Windows 11. It just shows how badly Windows sucks... Windows literally kills fans.
      This Distro is ridiculously efficient for gaming. I like the Default Theme because it reminds me of Neon from Starfield... or Cyberpunk 2077 lol.

    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.

    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

  • @eds464

    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.

    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.

    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......

    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.

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.
