​@@Veri7aTL;DR - I like that it is light, secure well kept(updates and patches are very frequent), rrctl and doas are way easier, the BSD way of setting up is easier. most applicationns I used in linux do work, libreoffice, firefox, vim, gimp, pcmanfm among many others..... I dislike the fact that it lacks in the hardware drivers department and the VM is very primitive(you can not get graphics on an OpenBSD VM) and not all applications I used in linux work here, like notepadqq and since I have a dislike for gvim, I end up using vim from the terminal. A well, let's start with the likes... please note, I am not using a Desktop Environment, I am using raw fvwm2, not dwm, nor cwm. thhe start was harsh... fvwm alone took me nearly a month and a half to get set up the way I like. the configs and all from openbsd were nice, I mean, doas and rcctl are easier than soystemd and sudo to get setup, though it took some getting used to since came from Windows and Arch Linux.... the system itself is very light, like super light, make most linux distros look bloated. I have a PC(core i3 3rd gen+4GB ram and 250GB HDD , I used Windows 8.1 on this one) the ram is old and defective, I can only use 2.4GB before things start going to hell and it becomes unusable(I know, I need a new one ASAP, but cash have been short lately), I also have a 2009 netbook an Hp mini, with intel atom n455 +2GB ram+128GB SSD and it runs just fine, but do not get any ideas, I open firefox there, and it just freezes... instead I use it for ssh, C and shell script programing. openBSD also comes out of the box with ksh, tmux, X11, andwith the best possible config(security wise) if you need a server, it is very easy to setup, and have very good support as well. Now... for the dislikes... I lacks in the driver support department... in my netbook for instance, I needed to buy an USB tp-link wifi adapter because it did not support broadcom, nor the ralink boards I had, and I tried. it comes from a philosophy of doing it right and the BSD way or not doing it at all... you can use ports but it is not considered that safe, unless you are 110% sure of what you are doing, ost programs you compile with GCC are not gonna compile with clang without some tweaks, the VM(virtual machine) is very primitive in fact if you need graphical interface or direct hardware access, for now just forget it, you re better off using some linux distro. some softwares from the repo(pkg_add) will be out of date and some linux programs will be straight out unavailable. but all things considered, I do Like the openBSD and the only reason I have to use Linux(when I make a new desktop) is the VM. and I will keep using the fvwm2 because once you get used to it, you won't go back, just set it up the way you like it and you will need nothing more... sorry for the long text, hope it helped. oh, before I forget, I do not know if that s your thing, but every release of OpenBSD does have art and songs with it. just throwing that out there...

Maybe the problem of Blender not being where you expect it, is because Blender wears so many hats. It has a video editing hat, a 3D modeling hat, an animation hat (both 2D and 3D), a 2D drawing hat, a 3D texturing hat, and plenty more I've forgotten or didn't know about. Sometimes, I think it handles certain vector graphics tasks better than Inkscape. Certainly, with better performance and stability.

I love the names of all Linux Distro's and I look them up to see any relevance on why the name or theme. So Garuda, also Galon or Nan Belu in Burmese and Karura in Japanese, is a legendary bird or bird-like creature in Hindu, Buddhist and Jain faith. He is variously the vehicle mount of the Hindu god Vishnu, a dharma-protector and Astasena in Buddhism, and the Yaksha of the Jain Tirthankara Shantinatha.

I was deciding between Garuda and raw Arch on my laptop. Tried Garuda and it wasn't that good imo. Most of the tweaks they used on KDE, you could set up yourself using the KDE themes (Sweet mars), desktop settings, and some Latte dock profiles. It was filled with stuff i considered bloat and i remember a lot of visual glitches (i think they heavily cut down on these now) and weird theme choices. However, that initial setup was so in depth and the Garuda Assistant is a great bit of software for quick changes of the more involved stuff. Defaults are solid too. They really did improve their distro massively. I'll still go with Manjaro if i wanted something that just werks. Only ended installing Arch because i am a noob that learns the hard way.

Need to append this. Garuda has a ton of software and options baked into it that i spent months finding naturally. For example, auto-cpufreq is a great tool you can use to change power profiles of your laptop without turning it off and on again. I just noticed you can enable it in the Garuda center with just a check box; it took me months to hear about this tool and i assumed power profiles on Linux weren't possible until then. This sort of stuff is invaluable for a lot of new linux users. For someone that wants to learn or already knows how and where to find these tools, Garuda may be not as useful

C. 17:40 : I totally agree that POSIX compliance is more important than ease of use, and in fact that's the reason I still prefer bash to zsh: in bash it's easier, imo, to combine ease and compliance with risk reduction. A simple pointer in your .bashrc takes all of your aliases and custom functions, if you want to use them, into a separate file. In zsh that's harder to do -in fact, I ended up putting my custom aliases in my .zshrc in the end. That's an additional risk: screwing up your .bash_aliases or .bash_functions is easy to fix, or at least undo -even if it may mean that you may have to rewrite a function or two. If you want to simplify using the CLI, aliases are the way.

You hot the nail on the head about this being an "everything" type of OS. For me, I just needed something that would replace my Windows 10 install and I could continue the various things that I do (which are actually mostly NOT gaming), but have the ability to download my Steam collection and play those as well as my GoG purchases. I also play the odd emulator now and then, watch movie rips, play my music collection, view/maintain/organize my family photos...etc. An everything work and play computer is what it is. And this fits the bill perfectly with very little hassle. The only items I had to install for what I do were K3b (for burning stuff) and Gnome Disks for imaging flash media that I use for various vintage machines I build and collect. So yeah, Garuda is excellent. I am only using an old (third gen I think) Core i3 with the integrated video and 8GB of ram as well as a 240GB SSD....and it screams!

@@seanld444 sorry, I see what you mean, definitely leaves room for interpretation lol. I'm referring to efficiency not just storage, but all resources, compute, memory, and network). Beyond a certain amount of cores, at least for most use cases (gaming and emulation VMs in my case), theres a point of hugely diminishing returns (typically 6 these days for games, with a growing number exceptions where 8 is more standard). A single OS environment deployed for a given usecase (general home use, gaming machine, NVR, and so on) isnt going to be using 64GB of RAM, 16-32+ cores, 10 gigabits bandwidth, or hundreds of thousands if IOPS (for instance) the vast majority of the time unless its like a dedicated rendering rig (or similar) for a business that generates enough work for it. All that time not spent doing 'something' with those resources is essentially lost efficiency, and while 100% efficiency isnt realistic, you're more effectively able to utilize those resources by divvying them up so that, while you're still not using all your resources all time, more can be done with the same gear.

Garuda is really not just a theme pack. It has btrfs w/timeshift, the zen kernel, zram, etc. I wouldn't recommend it to a newbie tho, it really breaks a lot. I has to much packages and too much experimental stuff. I am fine on vanilla Arch and would just recommend Arco Linux to a newbie.

For fun I decided to install the Xcfe version on an older laptop. I managed to build some software from source which is the first time I've ever done that as well. I don't think this is a bad beginner level distro. There's a lot of documentation for anything that isn't explicitly hand holding. Although, I don't know if I forgot to tick something or what, but cmake being absent initially confused me. I installed it with a little trouble at first, pacman was claiming all of the mirrors were returning 404's. Again, looking stuff up helped fix everything pretty quickly. I'll probably remove some of the software I don't have any intentions to use. I do appreciate that Garuda actually gives you advice when trying to partition the drive, even some of the other beginner distros I've used don't give any real good advice on that, for what potential problems you could face from doing it wrong. Even Garuda giving me a heads up was better than some other distros I've tried. One basically required me to partition and something went wrong and I ended up in grub rescue and couldn't find the files it couldn't find. I did research but basically everywhere I looked was like "just reinstall". Trying out Linux distros is fun. Makes me wish I'd started messing around with them sooner.

I never looked into Garuda much before simply because I don't like how it looks, but now I see that it's not just another GUI Arch installer but has good tweaks for desktop usage out-of-the-box, such as zen kernel, OOM prevention daemon, Btrfs with automatic snapshots, ChaoticAUR enabled. I installed vanilla Arch and applied these tweaks manually, but I think it's a good idea to recommend Garuda to someone semi-intermediate who would like to use Arch but doesn't want to waste time setting everything up and probably breaking something in the process.

I'm glad you're doing these reviews - there are precious few channels that I'm familiar with that talk about Linux distro options. I'm one of those people that still use Win7 because of privacy concerns, bloat, and lack of opt-out features on newer Microsoft OS's. Sadly, I'm slowly reaching the point were I _might_ be persuaded to move on to a newer OS - perhaps as soon as this year. As I see it, my options come down to a heavily modified Win10 that guts the spyware out of it and allows for more control _or_ some sort of Linux distro. Given that I primarily use my PC to game and browse, in the event I do end up going with a Linux distro, it would have to offer some sort of VM tools that allow me to either emulate my current Win7 or possibly my old WinXP (which I used until ~5 years ago) for game-compatibility purposes - especially since I enjoy a lot of older games. The only experience I have with Linux is from about 20 years ago, when I had to night-watch a server over the summer that ran either Debian or Ubuntu with GNOME. Hopefully after watching a few of your distro reviews I'll be better informed in regards to my options, should I choose to veer away from the Microsoft reservation. Note: After a sleepless night I'm somewhat worried my syntax is a bit on the clumsy side, but I've already re-written this comment for over 45min; it's time I actually watch the video.

I am using Garuda for the past couple months and i can tell you that it didn't really change much from that review. The base principle is the exact same. Everything looks and feels the same as in this review. One cool thing they changed though, is they fully integrated BTRS and Snapper. That means they don't ship timeshift anymore. But the system makes fully automated snapshots whenever you install a package or boot the system and integrate those snapshots into GRUB. That means if something breaks, all you have to do is reboot, select the previous snapshot in your boot (they are even commented. like pre install steam and post install steam for example, so you know exactly what to pick) and as soon as you are booted in there it gives you a little window that asks if you want to restore from that snapshot. You can keep the window open in the background, test your system if everything works again and if yes, you click yes and reboot normally. If it doesnt work you click no and chose another snapshot. Super super handy and ridiculously easy to use if a system fck up happens. Other than that, it's exactly the same as you see here. The most important thing for me though, is the extremely active and nice forum they have. The community is super super nice, especially towards "beginners". Every question i asked was answered within a couple hours at max. Easy onces even within minutes. But don't confuse the forums with the subreddit. You don't ask any questions in the subreddit, and that sub is 100% dead :-D It's the forums that live. I will never use another distro tbh. I distrohopped for a year. Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro, Vanilla Arch, Archcraft and finally Garuda...and i stuck with that because i am really really happy with it. It's the direct arch repos so you don't have to deal with broken dependencies like on manjaro and you basically have just arch inside... Very big recommendation from my side

One of which - when you select software that is incompatible and pacman asks if it should remove one, if you select N, the whole script dies and all those 100 selected programs for installation never get installed, the welcome scripts are gone/hidden and that's that.

fr fr. The whole "just works" thing isn't for me. My mind is always thinking "sure, it 'just works', but *how* does it work?"

While everything works out of the box, and distro is good looking, the memory management sucks. They claim that the ram becomes available as soon as any application needs it but that actually is not the case. I was running this on a laptop with 8 gigs of ram, which has always been plenty for linux. This is the only distro that complained about being out of ram with 2-3 applications open. moved to Arch with KDE and never had any problems since.

Oh wow, they officially support sway. That's really cool. It's been my go-to TWM for a while now, glad to see it get some recognition.
