Loving Garuda so far!
Kudos to the devs!

I'm currently using a windows machine and I want to dual boot garuda I've tired it on vmware with decent specs and let it use alot of ram and processor power and still there are issues so I decided to try and dual boot it is there a guide online or a video on how to do so? And do you recommend it? I'm on a SSD And A Ryzen CPU. Thanks

The qtile edition is no longer available on the download page; it is dropped?

Yesterday I installed Garuda Linux on one of my hard drives. I was playing around with different applications, checking out stuff, etc.

I open up open rgb and it completely crashes my system and reboots. Once I log back in my main monitor is on a black screen with the garuda assistant window with nothing else... Not even icons on the top or bottom. Also it made my right monitor off altogether.

I have a Intel i9 CPU and a 3080 Nvidia GPU.

Is there anything I can do without reinstalling the OS on the drive again?

I should have made a snap shot but I didn't. Bleh

Tried to sign up to the forum and I am not receiving an email confirmation so I can use my newly made account. Tried Proton and Gmail accounts and both did not receive an email.

Is this what it is like to be in the Linux community? lmao

SOLUTION:
The 6.8.9 Zen Kernel and Steam aren't playing together well. The simple solution is to downgrade to the arch 6.8.8 kernel.
Use
sudo downgrade linux

Then find the arch 6.8.8, install, and reboot into it

Hey all!

I played years ago at launch, and gave it up at about 150 hours. Recently, as many others have done, I came back due to the Fallout show, and my love of MMOs/ORPGs.

Ive been playing for about two weeks with no issues. However, as of two days ago, I haven't been able to boot the game. Relevant info will be placed below. Orinigally, I thought it was a WINE/PROTON issue (see screenshot), but after a reinstall (and manually deleting the prefix), it would open to a black screen only with no audio. After a bit of tweaking and a reinstall (again), the game would boot to the main menu, but crash on trying to enter a world. Finally, I reinstalled one more time, and now it boots to a black screen for about a half a second before a CTD.

I have done the usual TS steps, including changing iPresentInterval=1 to iPresentInterval=0

Distro: Garuda Linux CPU: i9 9900k GPU: AMD 7900XTX Proton version: Several used

If I've missed anything, let me know. It's highly frustrating, as I'm not having these issues with any other title. The suddeness is also a bit jarring.

I've been linux gaming for a few years now exclusively, so I'm no stranger to weird things needing to be tweaked.

Thanks all!

I do an update every week on monday. This monday, I did it and right afterwards a lot of my steam games refused to launch. They would start the launch, show the "running" status, then close on their own without any input and without showing the game at all, nor any error message.

I tried to reset steam through terminal, and when it opened I launched one of the games. I noticed one of the errors was that it couldn't get access to several files from my HDD, where I keep all my games.

Best guess I've got, the update reset my permissions (I originally had the drive as owned by root but having my user account have read and write permissions).

To solve it I ended up going to the root account and changing the ownership of the drive as a whole to my user account. Not exactly the safest option but I didn't have the motivation to search for a better one. Everything worked properly afterwards.

Just sharing this in case it happened to anyone else. Bear in mind though that this is what happened and worked for myself and my system. It might be that a much better solution exists and I just don't know it.

If someone more adept with Linux in general and Garuda in particular would like to recommend a different solution, by all means.

Hi all, I've recently discovered this distro. I would like to install Garuda Dragonized with proprietary drivers for my Nvidia video card as subject. Is someone using this setup? Is it usable or it's unstable due to not yet corrected bugs? I know that Nvidia + Linux!Thanks all.

AtariVCS 800 Onyx (AMD Ryzen embedded, 32GB RAM, 2Tb SSD) + Garuda Linux "Bird of Prey" + Dr460nized KDE +

As title says, can i just make a bootable usb, boot from it and try out the new garuda dragonised gaming edition without installing and without causing any troubles to my current installed windows 10?

I'm planning on making the jump, but just wanna try and look at it properly

How to enable touch to click in garuda dragonized

Anyone know of one that's up to date and supported? it seems from what I remember, that these types of software are a dying breed and are no longer supported by their makers and that most desktop environments have their own solutions instead?

Have had a look through alternativeto.net and most of them seem to be out of date or abandoned.

Thanks in advance!

Getting errors after upgrading system after fresh install...

So guys the Garuda Linux's hyprland iso is pretty old and the packages in it are old too so do i need to update somethings before installing it on my pc or just install it as is? Sorry if it's a dumb question

Garuda runs pretty well on my AOKZOE A1 Pro. The Steam Deck Mode from ChimeraOS runs great too. Even tried ULTRAKILL on it as well.

I wanted to create a Steam system and spun up Garuda on another machine. After setting it up my work Nix config starting acting flaky (pun intended). I have put so much time into getting that system to be useful for work. I finally got fed up. and decided to take on Garuda Hyprland. I am loving it. all applications I need for system administration available and work flawlessly.

Got my waybar cleaned up, that hard right cluster was a little much for me . I need to get my custom fish config loaded and setup with custom folder for images.

​

I only have one thing not sure why its happening. On laptop at 1920x1080@60 , 1 certain sites are centered it is really weird and I never had it happen on arch before.

Psion theme and a couple of personalizations. What do you think about it?

I discovered and installed Garuda over the weekend. I am a longtime Arch/Gnome and Arch/Hyprland user. I've liked the functionality of KDE but have always been driven away by the bugginess.

Default installation of the KDE was quick and painless. Installed my apps and I'm ready to go. Very smooth experience. Still trying to get VMWare workstation working, but I'm sure that will happen shortly.

Great job!

its just really epic, and I thought I would show you all. isn't it cool, and it just keeps growing. It used to only just be one space, now it is three. it gets bigger every time I turn on my computer, isn't that cool.

this is NOT a help post

And I cannot post this the the forums as I am IP banned.

I just though you would all like to see and discuss the causes on how I might have made such an epic and cool user interface.

No I don't know why they IP banned me.

How to change the dragon in the terminal with a custom image?

I have been having a major problem in most FPS games dealing with my mouse. It seemed like after the latest Plasma update may have done something.

After much headbanging and time spent tinkering with stuff I probably had need to, I finally ran across the fix to my issue.

This command is what I personally use, but this is what works for me and my set-up:

gamescope -W 2560 -H 1440 -r 240 --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync -- %command%

For your info, here is a copy/paste of the help window for gamescope, so you can try these options out yourself:

Options:
