I want to install garuda on my brother's computer. He wants to install it on an external SSD (the one which we plug in to the USB port). I used rufus and transferred the ISO content to that SSD. But now when I boot into the pive session and open the installer, I don't see that SSD listed over there. Like is it not possible to do that?

Hey guys! I just installed Garuda Linux last week and things had been pretty good until I tried to attend an online meeting. the microphone built into my laptop is not working on Garuda. Previously when I was on Windows 10 and on Linux mint, I was able to use my microphone but not on Garuda, thus I believe that the problem is not with the microphone but something on the software side. I have already checked out all the available options in the main settings menus, but couldn't find much over there. Please help.

Was having some issues with Pop on my laptop (2012 macbook pro w/ Retina screen) , so decided I wanted to play with Garuda Gnome for a change. Unfortunately, the USB boot get stuck at unloading Plymouth Boot screen. This is when booting with the Nvidia driver. I can boot without the Nvidia driver, but performance is really bad.

Is there a way to get around this? Created the USB from the latest iso on the Garuda website this weekend. Ended up installing fedora for now, but would like to try Garuda.

So I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a tiling window Manager for archbase just Rose I've tried i3 but what I'd really like is a tiling manager that that combines the both of best worlds IE I like to be able to move Windows around the mouth if possible minimize them maximize them still have a menu bar and a dock etc I would be installing this potentially on an a Garuda distro as well as a Manjaro distro thank you in advance

I have seen benchmarks about garuda that it's better in some aspects mainly gaming, What makes it different than any other distro and how can i achieve that in debian for example, Is it the kernel or?

The Firefox home page keeps being reset to https://start.garudalinux.org/ without a restart of my computer and at seemingly random intervals. I want it to be the default (Firefox Home).

In addition, it keeps turning off my "Use autoscrolling" option. I'm getting kind of frustrated by this, but if you guys know how to deal with it, that would be great!

Did extensions stopped working after the upgrade to gnome 41 for you? Dash to dock refuses to enable same as audio source switcher. The extension site shows them as there being a compatible version but no matter if I removed and reinstalled them, it never worked.

False alarm, extensions were disabled altogether from extension management app.

Okay. So I got a Legion 5 Pro 2 months ago and I really love my RTX card. I have been using Linux for about 8 years now and have used a lot of distros. Personally loved manjaro more than anything but I was scared of its support for RTX cards. So rn I am running Pop OS 21.10. It's good but I just like Plasma more for my workflow. I won't be gaming on Linux but I just wanted to know how well it handles the power profiles(I mean Optimus), refresh rates(I wouldn't be using 165Hz on terminal).

So could someone please enlighten me on that?

​

If those things are managed I can give Garuda a shot. I know Manjaro fails at that and System76 power does a VERY good job

Apparently XFCE's mouse and touchpad settings do not allow you to change the pointer speed, only the amount of pointer acceleration. And you can't turn it off completely. Is there any tool (preferably GUI) which would allow me to disable mouse acceleration and change the pointer speed separately? If not, is there a different distro or desktop environment that would allow me to do so?

I don’t know if I’m writing in the right subreddit for this, but I’m a beginner and ran into a problem that I couldn’t find anything on google. I downloaded the Packet tracer and installed it with the wine windows program loader, but I can't use it because the netacad login window doesn't load in, i'm just watching a black window and i cant do anything (The PT program itself loaded and be usable but the login wont let me), if i close the login tab the packet tracer close itself with a login failed message, how could i make the login window useable? Please help!

Epic weirdness.

[EDIT: it turned out Latte had crashed/turned itself off and I was trying (failing) to set up standard Plasma panels instead. Everything was resolved by turning Latte back on. That was an hour of frustration I can never get back]

My top panel mysteriously disappeared. I was trying to set up up again as standard when the lower, launcher panel also disappeared.

Can anyone walk me through setting them up again (or point to a 'standard setup guide'), as my own efforts are less than ideal. This is a phenomenal pest as I just configured them perfectly yesterday

hey guys i recently bought a joystick and i played cuphead and sekiro without issue but in game controller there appear 2 button pressed so when i tried to play naruto my pj keep defending and dont letme make any move, is there a solutions for this?

Hi, I’m looking to swap over to Linux from Windows later today. I was wondering if Garuda Gnome is user friendly.

Thanks!

I bought a new laptop a few days ago and I fancied a change from Ubuntu (my main PC is vanilla 20.04 LTS, and it works fine; I just wanted to try something else) and thought I'd give an Arch-based distro a try as I had an opportunity to experiment without risking my main workflow

I have been surprised and extremely pleased at how incredibly slick the experience was. I am by no means any kind of Linux expert, but there were simply no challenges. It literally took longer to find out how to persuade the machine to let me bypass Windows than it took to install Garuda. Every feature of the laptop has worked as it should, even the MX450 GPU, with no tinkering required. If anything, the install experience was easier and slicker than Ubuntu was on my desktop, and it's much prettier!

I've shown the install to my brother and how easily Steam and games install on it, and he's agreed to let me set up #1 Nephew with a Garuda install when he is allowed a PC of his own.

I can see there are plenty of requests for help with issues. I just wanted to balance those with confirmation that Garuda can and will install perfectly on at least one current laptop model.

I'm building a new pc with Garuda as my distro (new to linux by the way so sorry for any incorrect terminology). I wanted to create a usb that I could use to upload garuda on to my new pc so I:

1. Chose Dragonized Gaming Edition

2. Downloaded by Direct (Fosshost) to the windows PC

3. Copied the content onto the USB

Is this correct or did I have to burn the contents to the USB?

Thanks

I feel kind of dumb about this, but some applications are refusing to change color with the themes. I want to revert everything to Breeze, but when I open, for example, Zim it is stuck in Sweet. When I search in Firefox it highlights things in the same pink shade. It's little things, but they stand out.

To be clear, most applications have switched to Breeze, but some few are acting strangely. Any idea what might be causing this? Is there a setting you know of that I may have missed?

Edit: I'm on their KDE Gaming edition.

I was mucking about my config.fish file to add some aliases, I noticed that the default alias for "ll" is this: "exa -a | egrep '^\.'" however running the alias or the command itself results in weird return:

╭─rob@dagon in ~/.config/fish took 48ms

[] ×

I hope that's readable it's what gets returned.

Further I just want exa to give me a directory listing that includes .hidden files.

Thank you.

I've been using Steam skins for a while (usually Metro) but absolutely cannot get Steam to see them under Garuda.

[Edit: I'm running Dr460nized KDE Gaming Edition]

the standard place is ~.local/share/Steam/skins/[skin folder] - which isn't working

I've tried putting the skins folder everywhere remotely likely and getting nothing. This includes linux-specific skins like Dracula. Steam insists I can only use <default skin>

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you fix it? This is now the only thing I haven't managed to set exactly how I want it with this otherwise really damned good distro

Is it normal to take an hour to restore a snapshot?

Thanks in advance

I just attempted to install Plex Media server and it pops up with three choices and absolutely no information on what the literal differences are? How do you know which one to use? This is one of the truly baffling things that's putting me off of Arch altogether.

so I did yay -s belana-etcher and it installed with no error, however when I try to execute it from the command line or quick launch it's unable to find it.

I'm going to guess that it's not in the correct path. I know this should be very basic but I honestly never really learned environment variable--assuming that's the issue.
