Garuda Linux KDE Dr460nized - Quick Review (walkthrough)

It has been some time since I gave Garuda Linux a look. Is it easy to use, does it "just work"? Watch me use it, including a few stutters I ran into along the way.

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.

[@RandyHanley]

That is awesome! I need to really try this out more for gaming and see how I can get it set up.

[@Remigrator]

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.

[@RandyHanley]

I will have to try that kernel! Thanks for stopping by!

[@mr.pumpkin8891]

gonna switch to this after getting mad at microsoft and windows. byebye windows

[@RandyHanley]

excellent!

[@XavierDaniles]

Seems to be the common trend.

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.

[@RandyHanley]

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.

[@anarchicnerd666]

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).

[@RandyHanley]

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.

[@VinnyUnion]

You sound like you're about to rehearsal the verses of Rap God any moment now. I can totally imagine a bleached blonde hair dude in a tanktop recording this video

[@RandyHanley]

LOL I ain’t that good, but thanks.

[@73N5H1]

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

[@RandyHanley]

That is great to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@itsL0F1]

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?

[@wile123456]

Main thing i dont like is the deafult wallpaper looks soooo aI generated with weird lines and poor detailing

[@RandyHanley]

I hear you on the AI Generated look.

[@8bittim]

Hoping you see this comment, i have an intel arc a770 16gb from sparkle. Will intel Gpus work with an arch based distro?

[@RandyHanley]

@@8bittim I’m not 100%!sure but I believe they should

[@chrisjames8997]

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.

[@RandyHanley]

😂Thank you!

[@The_Taco_Thief]

Its great but for some reason videos stutter

[@DonalRomano]

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

[@RandyHanley]

That is a great question. I’m actually not sure about that. There might be a piece of software that can do that.

how to get nvidia drivers on garuda

[@PandaTheGiant]

This is what I did w my Nvidia drivers and it runs like a dream kzbin.info/www/bejne/joCkgphumdx6iNk

[@n0viewers409]

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.

[@gamecodechampion]

@@n0viewers409 i see, alright my friend thanks
