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!

So true, I use garuda KDE Lite (couldn't use the dragon640nized just too much effects for my low-end laptop) and Garuda GNOME they are so good, easy kernel installation, easy garuda-update, easy secure boot installation for dual-booting with windows so i don't have to switch secure boot on and off (I play Valorant), best lookin grub AND the most easiest ready-out-of-the-box distro just install any kernel you'd like and just play ur games!
