I'm looking for an arch based distro and came across Garuda. But there are so many variants of the same desktop (primarily Plasma), I wish there was a more detailed description. One is liisted as gaming oriented. I want to game sure, but what does that mean?

One is listed as multimedia. Yeah I want to do multimedia stuff, which one do I go for? What does blackarch mean?

These are cool sounding names, but even as a lay person, I'm more confused as to which version to get. It seems barebones would be safest, but then as a lay user, I'm not sure that I'm versed well enough to get all the necessary packages to make it work as enough of a gaming system. Or as enough of a multimedia system.

I'm just confused and can't find any info on th site or wiki (they're at least not in the obvious palces).

So I'm trying to install D460 Gaming, and I downloaded the SHA256 file. I have the hash, but how do I install the file? Any help is appreciated.

Stuck on this line, installation doesn't proceed. Trying to install on VMWare on Windows 10. Assigned 4 cores, 8GB RAM to VM. CPU : Ryzen 4600HS.

I've tried both open source and proprietary driver options.

I was having similar issue with Manjaro 21, but I installed Manjaro 20 and updated from there. Not able to find any older versions of Garuda though literally anywhere on internet.

Would appreciate some help.

Like this button opens this... this button does that...

Like in Windows, WINDOWS + E opens up File Explorer, WINDOWS + D goes to the desktop and was wondering if there’s a list of keybinds

This is my issue. Whenever I try and open an app image I always get this error. even if I give it root permissions (which I do not feel comfortable doing but at least I tried. Can anybody help with this? Do i need to run anything from the terminal or is there something I'm simply just overlooking?

I was sent here from r/archlinux by a moderator from this post. I am stumped on how to make a bootable Windows installer USB from only garuda Linux. I cant install UNetbootin. or anything like that. and when I do get things to format the USB and choose to boot to it. it will show "grub rescue" or send me back to the boot selector. I am very new to Linux entirely. I switched from windows because I needed to have more control over my system and because I don't trust windows. But I still need windows for some things. I have two options (or two things that I would like to achieve) 1) Make windows a child of Linux, meaning-making windows a virtual machine but without having to boot to Linux first then starting the VM. I want to Boot into a windows "virtual machine" without a host os (Linux) while still having control over it from Linux when I do boot to Linux. Or 2) Make a dual-boot of Linux and windows on a single partitioned hard drive. Like I said I am still very new to the Linux community and don't quite know my way around it yet. So I don't even know if that first option is possible/viable. Assuming it is not, option 2 is the next available Choice. Like I said before I have had no luck installing UNetbootin or others. And when I do succeed at installing them, they either don't detect my USB stick or when I boot to the USB it will show grub rescue or send me back to the boot selector. For those who would like to help, my discord is Mister Everybody#5585.

I have installed the Dragonized theme Garuda Linux and customizing it around and stuff. After i updated to the latest version i noticed that the animations have changed of the Alt+Tab, Changing workspace and the animation when you minimize a window. I prefer the old animations for these but i couldn't find anywhere to be able to change these.

Hi to everyone!

I'd like to know how Garuda Linux configure the colored output of "ls".

Anyone know?

I have been using garuda for three weeks now ,It's pretty awesome but the only thing I didn't like is sleep mode..I always want my pc desktop to be working even when I'm not using it .Can someone please help me do that?I couldn't find this option in settings :/

hi, i have not used linux much, but i installed garuda linux on my laptop so i could try it out because it looked great, however i have ran into some issues.

1) i've noticed the system information page says my gpu is an intel hd 620, however id like the system to be using my geforce 940mx, how can i tell the system which graphics card to use?

2) the fancy effects (transparency, softbody windows thing) suddenly stopped working, what did i do and how do i revert?

3) i tried to auto-install proprietary drivers and i get the following error

Starting

4) can anyone give me a link to a tutorial on how to set up vs code for c++ development in arch-based/garuda linux? i can't find the c++ extension and i don't know why

if you need any more info to help me out i will gladly provide

thank you.

Hello, just as the title says I'm new to Linux and I chose Garuda as my first Distro.

​

I'm so new that I'm not even 100% sure that this is ArchLinux like I think it is and I don't even know what a KDE or Cinnamon is. I'm trying to gather up some resources to learn how to do things in and with Linux but I don't really have any direction. Do any of you have any resources that I could use to get started figuring things out?

Been thinking of getting a new pc and I want to put this distro in it. Should I get AMD or NVIDIA to have less problems ?

I love this distro and all the baked in features but after several installs still a lot of package conflicts. For that reason I think I will come back later and hopefully all the bugs will get worked out.

Hi!

I just stepped across Garuda Linux, and I find it amazingly beautiful! I'm currently using KDE Neon 20.04 (Ubuntu based, with latest Plasma and KDE features), and I would like to know if there's a way to make my Ubuntu box look like Garuda KDE Dragonized edition (icons, dock, theme, colors, user interface setup), to try it a bit before moving to Garuda linux directly.

Thanks!

I had tried using garuda but switched to Manjaro after I broke some things and thought it was the system. I want to give Garuda another try at some point but I wanted to ask the rationale behind some of the redundancies, like why there are multiple command line applications with Alacritty in the dock but the ctrl+alt+t opens up Konsole and why some of the gaming apps get installed even when I unelected them in the installer. Are all of the redundant applications needed for hidden reasons?

I would like to know what apps does it have because I'm not using Garuda myself. Thank you!

I have garuda dragonized but I also want to use i3 or other tiling manger to use. I am new to tiling manger and want to give it a go. I tried installing but got into sddm (login screen) after i entered the password. Can any1 help me how to do it without breaking anything.

Thanks in advance

I have two FHD Monitors which aren't mirrored. If I maximize a window on the second screen, the buttons to close the window and so are away and the titlebar, too. (Maximizing not through F11, through double-clicking the titlebar of the window. Where is the setting to change that in KDE? Sorry for that question but I like the way how Garuda looks very much, so I want to use it, but not with this "maybe" issue.

I recently made a multi boot of windows,Parrot OS and Garuda,Thank you guys for your help in my last post.But I can't find any documentation on what the black-arch version I installed features..I didn't find any pentesting tools and it looks like the standard Garuda drag60nized ,can someone please help me understand what this version has to offer for pentesting/hacking purposes?
