Garuda Linux After 90 Days | Final Verdict

Garuda Linux After 90 Days | Final Verdict

I did a video a month ago stating Garuda Linux is the best Linux experience I have ever had. After 90 days of use is that still the case? Watch the video and let me know what you think in the comments below.

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.

[martouf]

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.

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!

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.

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.

[matthiasschuster]

Use it since 6 months, best operating system I used in 25 years of computing.

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.

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

[aronwomack]

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.

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

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.

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.

[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.

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!

[russellbrooks]

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.

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

[thewillsfamilyaccount]

This is a beautiful distro! It's truly one of the most visual distros of Linux! Great video.. awesome stuff!

[brumbrumboy]

Thanks for good reviews. Gonna give it a try

❤❤❤

[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.

[DrakonBlade]

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.
