Garuda Linux After 90 Days | Final Verdict

[@mikacasaubon8219]

I totally agree. I'm running it on 4 gb of RAM and it's still smooth. I've been going back and forth between arch based distros and I keep coming back to Garuda. It's just great.

[@goxzvt]

What are your thoughts on Endeavour, do you still use Garuda today? I'm planning on switching from Pop OS to Arch based distros, and I can't decide between the two

[@mikacasaubon8219]

@@goxzvt I haven't used Endeavour all that much, so I couldn't tell you. But if you're between the two, maybe try them both and keep the one that works better for you. I'm not using Garuda now because I wanted to try Wayland so I'm using main line Arch with Hyprland. Another distribution that may work for you is Xero Linux. I think any of them would be great to start with Arch.

[@goxzvt]

@@mikacasaubon8219 So I'm actually trying out Garuda Hyprland, I think it looks great but definitely it's for a more advanced user than I am though it looks great, it lacks in compatibility for some apps like sharing screen on Discord

[@CrowleyRises]

I 100% agree. I used garuda as my daily driver as well. Love it. I distro hopped like crazy over the last year just for fun to try out different distros based on arch, Debian, Ubuntu and fedora. I also tried doing vanilla installs and building my own several times. All I can say is that in the end I went back in re-installed Garuda and have been using it ever since. I highly suggest it.

[@Pk10687]

Which gaming edition vs Norma

[@Hr1s7i]

I'm firmly anchored in the Garuda/Fedora/NixOS. I'm rather new to Linux, been using it for about 7-8 months on different machines and it has been good to me. It's by no means as simple to manage as windows, but it's not all that annoying. I use Fedora for my house IoT (this runs all the cameras, all the door solenoids, sensors and ACs. So far I haven't seen any problems or even a single crash. It's been living in a modest machine I built out of spare parts - i7 6700k and 16 gigs of ddr3 and it hasn't complained about it thus far.

[@callmesteve7874]

After a decent distrohopping I decided to give Garuda a try and after using it for 3 months I must admit it is a best arch-based distro so far.

[@yothebob8162]

I use garuda linux on all my computers, my laptop has had the same install of garuda for 1.5 years and it is still working great. Great stability, and experience! props to the garuda team!

[@eBuzzCentral]

Thanks for sharing

[@Voyager-sama]

it broke for me after about 2 weeks, mainly because i like to customize things, and garuda doesn't like when i want to change a program for another one. or replace a DE. so im back on clean arch. it did teach me a lot, for example to use timeshift, that was great.

[@magnusm4]

Did you say great stability? "Debian has joined the server"

[@davidwayne9982]

YOU are one of the FEW reviewers I will LISTEN to-- and to me YOUR WORD is good.. it's all I need- so this sounds VERY good. I love my MX and it's hard to turn that loose. BUT this does sound good, and I can CHANGE the look.. I like it at first- thoght it was beautiful- but after a few days---not so much. Whether I agree with you or not-- I kNOW I can count on you to say WHAT IS-- regardless of like, dislike or whatever.

[@kevn-]

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed would be an excellent distro to try out. It's amazingly stable, rolling release and I've been using it as my daily driver for years.

[@fkstudio5901]

It stopped my distro-hopping.

[@connyslayer4661]

I see, that sounds like a very interesting distro to try out sometime. i would definitely would like to try it if its amazingly stable and has rolling release. Thank you very much for informing.

[@aronwomack359]

Use Linux mint, but use the Nala package Manager. And the cinnamon desktop has never failed me. Never broke down, or froze, and it's easy to use.

[@asuras1]

Mint is great - I was also running it with XCFE. But still prefer the rolling release of Arch - therefore Garuda is my main. Also performance seems to be better on my computer (old hardware). It's impressive how smooth Garuda is with all the effects enabled. But have to admit with Mint I had really 0 issues vs 2 issues with Garuda - but that's the tradeoff with rolling releases I guess.

[@ssronxae]

I am a linux dummy. I switched from windows xp to linux mint debian 4 last year and am very happy with it. Can't switch to version 5. I borked it up by deleting keyring somehow. Guess I'll download a version 5 distro and start over. You do good work...thanks for all the info about Windblows, lol.

[@petert962]

I've been distros hopping, and I keep coming back to Garuda. The only thing I do not like about Garuda is the colors they use as their default. But if I was a first time user, and did not know how to change it. I would still use it. Because of the tools, ease of use, and it's easy to fix any of the problems I have came up to.

[@BruceCarbonLakeriver]

I just can agree on you eBuzz, I'm using Garuda since March and I've never looked back to Windows. I'M gaming using DaVinci Resolve and use it as my main daily computer. I hadn't any issues with the GRUB bug as well. :D

[@Jeff_Seely]

Hey man, thank you for all of your time, effort, and expense in delivering content like this. I really enjoy all of it. I couldn't agree more with your evaluation conclusions. Garuda Linux has helped me be almost 100% free of Windows on my personal computers. And when I really need Windows functionality, I have a Windows virtual client to fall back on. I do need that occasionally, but less and less by the day and I use the very benign Windows Xp. as opposed to Windows 11. Windows 11 really finished me off and I refuse to play by Microsoft's invasive new business model. Garuda made it very easy to do all of this and they truly have a fantastic forum, especially for folks new to Linux. They are hard to beat!

[@livesDonaciones]

La voy a instalar. Muchas Gracias !! Saludos desde Argentina. Actualmente estoy en KDE neon 5.25 y la verdad no tuve problemas . Es muy recomendable.

[@pinglocalhost]

Perfect timing on the video. I used the very first Garuda linux that came out. The look grabbed my attention, but it was buggy. I'm coming back to Garuda to check it out again to see all the new updates. Thanks for your video. I am looking to have an everyday driver of Garuda. I will say I don't like the new terminal look. I like the OG one I am glade I was able to access my old install of Garuda. I copied my config.fish and installed neofech. It looks like the original terminal.

[@natewesselink]

Swapped from manjaro to garuda about a month ago after a manjaro update that broke a few programs i used and couldnt be happier

[@hammerschaedel]

same here, but i will leave garuda, because Updates doesnßt show anymore. This is the second Arch based linux i used and for me this is a elemental function that must work in a rolling release linux

[@eBuzzCentral]

Why do you need to be reminded to update? Do what I do, every Sunday I update my system, I don't need the operating system to tell me I just do it.

[@hammerschaedel]

@@eBuzzCentral hmm, because when a distro installs a feature to see them, it has to work and not to remind me that its broken

[@eBuzzCentral]

The feature isn't broken, I have Garuda running on my daily production machine and on my media center in my living room. Two different laptops, two different architectures, it reminds me every time. So even if it reminds me to update on a wednesday, I still update my system every Sunday.

[@natewesselink]

@@hammerschaedel i dont think ive ever ran into that issue personally with any linux distro ive used and ive been hopping around linux for about 7 years now.

[@BinarySmurf]

I love the UI, especially the transparency and animated window movement. If I were to nitpick, I'd like to be able to specify what apps I want to install pre-installation rather than uninstall them afterwards, but that's no biggie. I'm hoping for a new system by Christmas and right now, it'll be Garuda or Nobaro for a gaming-focused high-end Linux desktop.

[@squidbeard492]

I'd also recommend web apps or the Firefox containers to keep the supposedly necessary trackers quarantined. Basically for shopping carts or Netflix

[@OkyDooky]

The FireDragon browser is a fork of LibreWolf, which has those features enabled by default. Dynamic First Part Isolation is used, but specific containers can be opened by right-clicking on a link.

[@russellbrooks3622]

Garuda is excellent. I had some issues that had to do with Garuda not allowing me to do some things the way I like to do them. I use grub-customizer now and then for certain things, but Garuda blocks it because it has its own similar utility. If the Garuda utility actually worked like it should, that would be fine, but it doesn't. I dual-boot and triple-boot different distros on several PCs, which makes grub customizer a very handy utility. Garuda just wouldn't play nice in a multi-boot situation, even when trying to edit the grub config manually, so I couldn't use it. I have the exact same problem with Manjaro blocking grub customizer. ArcoLinux is my main Arch distro. It lets me do what I want. But Debian Sid Cinnamon is the one that I always fall back to when other distros give me problems. Debian Sid Plasma, XFCE, Gnome, MATE, LXDE, and LXQT are also good, if you prefer those environments. Just make sure you get the Unofficial ISO with firmware. For Sid, you want to download the unofficial weekly build, which is Debian 12 Testing Bookworm. After installing, add the Sid repo and do a full upgrade. With Debian, it generally sets you up as a standard user. To have sudo privileges in the terminal, you need to change that to an administrator and reboot. That's very simple in Cinnamon, but may not be as straight-forward in other DEs. Also, if gnome-software gets installed with the desktop you choose, remove it. It eats about 150 mb of RAM all the time, even if you never open it. It would be interesting to see how Debian Sid worked for the things you do. Just know that Debian doesn't do much of anything for you. You have to know what you want, and where to find it, though most anything you would need is in the Sid repos. Sid is currently using the 5.19 kernel. It tends to lag a week or two behind Arch with such things, but I'd still call it rolling.

[@dacritter8397]

Garuda has been on one of my machines for about a 1.5 years. It's an excellent daily driver.

[@draugr7693]

I use Garuda Qtile on my laptop cos their configuration of Qtile feels perfect for modern laptops IMO and i like that it comes with jgmenu so i only have to memorise a few of the basic keyboard shortcuts.

[@aranramirez1772]

Totally agree. I was on manjaro but Garuda really surprised me. Even my bluetooth dongle is finally working on Linux.

[@farhanaditya2647]

Yoo, I'm using Manjaro now. Is your opinion still the same after 7 months? If yes, I'll switch to Garuda right away

[@wiz3905]

Unused RAM is a sign of efficient quality coding build🤟

[@asuras1]

Hi - great video thanks. Totally agree on your points. I have Garuda as my main distro running for already 1 year - and will keep running it. The only issues I had were when there was the major KDE upgrade (small, but annoying things didn't work for one/two weeks until it was fixed) and the second one was when using the linux-zen kernel after the upgrade to kernel 6 I got issues with my proprietary nvidia driver and it wasn't working. Switching to linux-lts (kernel 5) did the job. I would highly encourage every Garuda user to install LTS at least in addition (if not as the main kernel), as there is not too much benefit on zen especially if you don't have cutting edge hardware. When I was using Suse or Kubuntu I hated KDE and was a long time Gnome user, but Garuda made me loving KDE again.

[@aronwomack359]

Installing the dr4agonjzed edition again, got a new laptop and it would not work on my old one with 4 gigs of ram. It's a beautiful distro too.

[@tobidegnon4409]

You wanna try something ? Try the Nobara project

[@StaceyAyodele]

For me, I love Ubuntu MATE. It just works flawlessly with my ASUS TUF GAMING F17 laptop. Love Linux. No more Windows and being forced to use M$ defaults and hoping they don't release a new OS that'll make my system obsolete.... LINUX RULES! Your content RULES! Keep up the great work.

[@shadeblazer]

I have an MSI GP65 laptop with RTX 2060 and a fresh install of Garuda KDE Lite. It has been running smooth for me as well. I previously had Manjaro KDE installed, used it for over a year with few issues here or there. Recently I got tired of Manjaro losing wifi (showing the wired connection icon with a red x) after I would log back in. Manjaro also would freeze when I would reboot to fix the wireless fail issue. So far I'm really enjoying Garuda. I will continue to use it on my gaming laptop.

[@tronkel1]

Yes, great review! Don't know how you manage to keep up with all of this having 5 kids to bring up as a single parent. Awesome job! There were a few glitches when installing the Gnome version to bare metal including updating problems. I therefore installed the vanilla Linux kernel via pacman which seemed to improve this for some reason. These sort of little bugs might be enough to deter newbies though. Anyway if you have some previous Linux experience, these are not really deal-breakers. The installed distro is awesome and gets a big recommendation from me despite the glitches.

[@huljaxful]

My daily driver is pop!os, second best linux mint. Maybe them or fedora. They are probably the most stable out of all linux distros.

[@milkkolaj]

Nobora project please!

[@xellaz]

I've tried Garuda (dragonized version) before and it seems to stutter for me. The mini-pc I tried it on is a powerful one---minisforum HX90 with an AMD 5900HX APU. I ended up uninstalling it and going to Manjaro. Manjaro has its own problems too but after switching the audio to pipewire and kernel to the zen kernel, it's been running much better. Now I'm on MX Linux which I like even more than Manjaro. I didn't even know it was #1 on distrowatch when I switched. It's running much better than any other Linux distros I've tried so far recently. My only hard part is at the beginning when I tried to install it using the BTRFS file system instead of the default ext4. I have to partition my SSD in a specific way for it to work. After figuring this out though, it's been running great! It has a lot of built-in tools for tweaking. I'm using the KDE Plasma edition of MX Linux instead of Xfce. It's the only distro I've tried so far that runs so well that it doesn't even drop frames for me when watching KZbin videos online at 4K 60fps! It doesn't even slow down when I'm almost maxing my 32GB RAM having several browsers open with 100+ tabs each and other apps in the background. It also plays all my media files without missing a beat! I did quite a few tweaks to customize it to my liking. I changed the bash shell to zsh and added custom themes and plugins. So far I've tried Ubuntu, Fedora 36, Manjaro, Zorin , Garuda, Endeavor, Pop! OS, Linux Mint, Elementary OS, etc . and MX Linux with KDE Plasma tops all of them so far for me in usability, customizability, and most of all... stability. 💪

[@HipKat]

Ive gone back and forth between Garuda and Arco for the past two years, using a 500GB WD 5200RPM HDD. I love both distros but I was getting slight screen tearing on my browsers. I recently installed a Samsung 980 Pro M.2 SSD. Erik is awesome from Arclolinux, but getting Nvidia drivers installed is always a pain. On Garuda, no problem so thanks to this (and your many Vids), I'm making the move back to Garuda/KDE for DD

[@Drakon0Blade]

Im a recent Linux convert from windows, first used Mint for a couple weeks to get used to the difference, did some researching and settled on trying out Garuda and im pretty happy with it. Garuda definitely fits the "Just Works Distro" tag and even if you arent a "Gamer" its still has some strong points.

Garuda was the first Linux distro I tried out and ran. Would of been Mint but my trackpad on my laptop would not work on anything Debian based, anyway I remembered seeing people do a "first look" on the OS and the ease of use for every single user paired with outstanding UI elements make it one of the potential operating systems I might jump to if I ever jump away from Windows

Endeavour is basic. It’s just Arch with a few random thing’s installed. Nothing special. Garuda is actually special though as it has unique tools and update scripts and proper good stuff you don’t need to change after installation. Endeavour is just another easy arch install like manjaro and arco etc

[@Grimy-ks7vn]

I know they have their own repositories which I think makes it even worse than stock arch but other than that isn’t it an easy arch install with an extra repository on top? It’s been a while since I used manjaro though so I don’t remember exactly how it ran other than it bricking my system so I reinstalled it once or twice

[@mikeymayhem_]

Other than that, I think I might like Garuda. Hopefully the theme stuff can be fixed. :(

It's really beautiful and fun to use... however I run into issues I haven't had before on other distros... (intermittent locking, weird sound configuration stuff, long start up times, things failing to start) but they tend to have answers and workarounds. I may have to dual boot with another distro. My suggestion would be try a base version that lets you use different desktops. (e.g. Debian, Slackware, etc)

I'm trying to move away from Windows as my daily driver. Not move entirely away from it (for now), but I've been wanting to make Linux my go-to OS for various things: my daily work (ability to log into my work VDIs, Dot Net programming, etc) as well as just day-to-day fun things (watching KZbin videos, etc) but then the big one: gaming. Having read through what Proton provides, especially with the inroads the Steamdeck has done recently, I decided it was time to give Linux another shot as my daily driver. I used it mainly for programming in a VM under Windows, but I wanted to be able to harness the full power of my hardware using Linux directly and not through virtualization nor having to be in Windows to use it. I went through many distros (Pop OS, Garuda and then I tried Nobara). Garuda is what I kept as I had another drive I was testing out other distros. But in the end, Garuda was the one I stuck with. It didn't work out of the box for some things mainly directed towards gaming (such as my XBox 360 controller until I installed the xboxrv driver), but overall, everything else worked beautifully. Nobara, while it's aimed at gaming, was nice but things are very unstable and it just seems finicky and it took a lot of tinkering to make it work. Sort of reminds me of my early days with Linux in 1992 trying to get SLS up and running on my 80286 back then! It was fun, but these days, I'm needing something that works after installing. Garuda is the one for me. I've been on it for weeks and other distros I've tested just don't seem to do it for me. Yes, I understand Garuda is based on Arch Linux and doesn't have the LTS concept such as Ubuntu, Pop OS and Mint. But Garuda just seems to feel better for me. Plus, I do like to live on the "bleeding edge" but not to the extend of what Nobara is. Garuda feels like it has that fine mixture of stability mixed with some bleeding edginess to it, and I like that.

Been using Garuda Cinnamon for over a year. I have downloaded the newest versions of Cinnamon, Dr460nized and XFCE 231029 to install on new HDD. When I installed Garuda before I had no problems, considering I am a Newbie. I Installed OS, updated OS, then Garuda Assistant to install all packages on OS. When I install any of the (3) 231029 OS’s it installs okay but will not UPDATE, always error (can not resolve dependencies) then going to the Garuda Assistant is out of the question.

It’s the most power efficient distro as well. This is super important and often not remembered. Once I replaced the zen kernel for the traditional kernel and activated the power saving tweaks - all a few clicks away, all GUI based, no command line requirements - my laptop has become whisper quiet. Also, it is one of the few Linux distros that fully support Btrfs and snapshots, including GRUB integration. This is such a powerful feature, I can’t have a Linux distro without it anymore.

Thanks. This was a very useful video. Just curious if you knew that provided the right graphics card in a powerful desktop, I would be able to run three 4k monitors @60HZ with Garuda Linux installed properly and not as a VM. 🙏

[@ohwow2074]

That desktop environment looks amazing. Should I install it on my cousin's very old laptop? She doesn't know much about computers.

[@artedwards717]

hey E-buzz I have a problem with garuda locking up . What could be wrong ??????????????

[@benjy288]

A while ago I did a minimal install comparison between arch and tumbleweed with kde as the desktop, and on a fresh boot arch used 493 mb of ram, where tumbleweed used 459 mb of ram, arch also took 4.92 gb of disk space, where tumbleweed only took 3.18 gb of disk space.

[@fkstudio5901]

Tumbleweed is a beast.

[@Moaead19]

what's about battery usage? for people those tried it, are there any different?

[@TuxPeng]

I disabled the global menubar, enabled light-mode and krita bright, then moved the main panel to the top. With those changes, garuda is my favorite distro

[@famesaled8132]

How did you install final cut on garuda ! Plz answer me

[@AbhinavKulshreshtha]

I always say ram is not unused, it is available for my apps, if windows blocks 3gb of my 8gb ram, I only have 5gb for my apps, gnome only blocks about 800mb of ram, hence I have over 7gb of rams for my apps.

[@russellbrooks3622]

If you prefer the KDE Plasma desktop, the latest Kubuntu is a good choice, unless you can't live with the ubuntu snap policy.

[@ThatNerdIndy]

How did you get the desktop environment looking like it does?

[@eBuzzCentral]

Uninstalled latte dock, added a default panel, went into settings and made it a floating panel. And then installed uos icon pack.

[@bobicbyamugisha1041]

@eBuzz Central meaning it's a KDE distro

[@Otacanthus]

The only problems I've had with linux is stability so hearing this one's stable makes me have hope that I'll actually be able to make a full switch

[@Bearussr]

Fedora would be good to see or a Ubuntu base

[@KB-jt3ns]

opensuse TW.

[@timothyglidden6746]

I use Garuda for my gaming and daily driver, but i use Opensuse leap for every thing else cause it just works and never breaks for me, give it a shot.

[@ztormsink5931]

Just installed it. I did not modify anything, only getting use to the basic interface for now. I rebooted the pc and now i'm stuck in 640x480, when prior, the resolution was 1920x1080. Kind of suck. Can see my screen or open anything because it to big.

[@pi3tr3]

does Garuda run on ext4?

[@k.b.tidwell]

My install defaulted to BTRFS. I bet you can change it, but I just went default because I love 2 second Timeshift snapshots on BTRFS.

[@_DeadBeat_]

what do you think about LMDE?

[@CommanderBeefDev]

thats what i wanted to hear i tried all the gaming linux distros even pop os holo iso and chimera, garuda is by far the best user experience its a proper os

[@sharktooh76]

Completely agreed. Edit: about the new os, Fedora 37 is on its way, but still in beta. What about NIXOS?

[@litemint09]

Awesome Troy, between Garuda and Fedora, which one is which for you?

[@eBuzzCentral]

For me, Garuda!!!

[@litemint09]

@@eBuzzCentral awesome Troy, im on Garuda Gnome, somehow i tried MS Edge on it, and it seems it wont open at all, even the ungoogled chrome, do you experience it as well?

[@eBuzzCentral]

I actually had to install pamac, because the one I tried to install from octopi would not load, so I uninstalled it, installed pamac and installed that version and it worked.

[@litemint09]

@@eBuzzCentral Cool, thanks Troy, I did installed it on Octopi, let me try that. Thanks!
