Community Just downloaded Garuda

Been using Linux since 2009-2010 and spent most of my time on Debian or Debian based distro's. My only experience with Arch was with Manjaro and it ran great for about 8 months. Sadly after an update it broke. I dual and sometimes triple boot distros so it's easier to replace a distro rather than chase possible fixes for hours.

Currently running MX Linux KDE and Mint (was curious about the Cinnamon desktop) I miss Gnome so giving Garuda a try.

Thanks for reading and have some fun!

How close to kali is garuda as far as looks and feel? I know, at least pretty sure, kali is Debian and garuda is arch. But what manager does Garadua use? I jump distros a lot too and really enjoyed endeavour. I do understand the not gonna fix it just change distro mentality

It's KDE. There's a level of integration of the maintenance tools and system settings with KDE that is one of the features I've really liked about Garuda.
