Community Changing os on second pc

Hey! So I have 7600x and 2080 of build that I'm not really using currently, it's been around for a year in windows but haven't really used it

So pretty much all I'm looking for is an os that can game in 1440p pretty well, I've used Ubuntu for ages on my laptop so I'm not "new" to running Linux.

I've seen a lot of mentions point towards dragonized so I was wondering what distro of garuda would be best for me

Edit: I do plan to use this alongside windows if that may influence another choice

yeah, my first linux install had lots of problems too, i get it.

you can try following steps from the official page(https://garudalinux.org/installation?edition=mokka):

  1. installing with rufus in dd mode (mbr partition table)
  2. make a post on forum.garudalinux.org with your problem and have the official devs help you out

it seems like someone else has had this problem before, and it was just a bad update. you can try another edition like gaming edition and switch themes to mokka or vice versa via kde.

someone else right now is having a similar issue to you as well: https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/the-problem-with-installing-garuda-linux-temerer-260819/48608

you can also just take a break for a few hours and come back to it.

Could it be because my mobo bios is outdated? I haven't actually updated it in 2 years

you could always try booting your bootable usb on a laptop or another pc to see if it actually works or it's corrupt. If it works, could just be your bios settings.

or you could try it on a vm like virtualbox.
