@Steve12L I use Garuda Linux almost exclusively on my computers. I run the "Mokka" KDE Plasma variant. It's a nice tone-down from "Dr4gonized," but it still has plenty of character.

It has been VERY stable and runs on my VERY old 2nd-gen ThinkPad, my Intel MacBooks & iMac, and my daily driver 10th-gen HP.

#GarudaLinux is the distro that restored my faith in #ArchLinux after the Manjaro debacle a few years ago.

@meuon I love me some #Fedora! Fedora was the end of my distro-hopping for quite awhile. It’s rock-solid, has a great feature set like you discovered, has safe and stable updates, and ran on damn near everything I installed it on without having to go find drivers. Easy to recommend.

For a production environment, Fedora would be my first choice. For my personal use, however, I use #GarudaLinux. It boots in ⅔ the time and everything runs faster overall.

Installed Cachy OS a week ago. Impressive though now I want to try another ARCH distro, Garuda OS.

@Natanox I’ve tried #CachyOS on a few of my laptops, and I like it quite a bit.

For some reason, it does not like the Wi-Fi adapters in my laptops, however, and will only connect at 2.4 GHz. That, and missing OOTB hibernation support made me move my laptops back to #GarudaLinux. For the year or so that I have been using it, it has been remarkably stable. The only real issues that I have had have been ones of my own making.

@feed I use Garuda Linux on all of my laptops and iMac. The built-in tools are top-notch and it’s been VERY reliable.

I also appreciate the opinionated nature of #GarudaLinux. Anyone can put out a generic #Arch distro. Garuda made choices and is sticking by them…even if I then have to re-do the desktop theme… 😜

Don’t change a thing, @garuda

Stay flashy and weird.

Fives takes styling cues from Maul, Shadow Lord!

Those new Plasma color-changing icons are awesome!

I have installed Garuda Mokka, and it is lovely! KDE, but smoky, gray, with pops of muted rainbow. I quite like it. It took me about a few hours to get the basics configured, I shall do the rest after sleeping. Then visiting the Hungry Chickpea and getting pie because I'll hunger for a meal and then pie!

This time I will get a salad and the chicken wrap (as the chef will be there to make a version without the egg included because I cannot with soft or hardboiled eggs).

Success has been had, I have done the thing again: Messed with the configuration file to make Vivaldi Browser launch using Win Key+B, installed Mullvad VPN and enabled its daemon.

This time the command read "systemctl enable --now mullvad-daemon.service". Finally using the "--now" flag that @wendigo kept telling me about! After all this time, I stopped being so timid over silly shit. 😂 I finally got tired of waiting for the reboot for a service to be enabled. 😅

My mission was accomplished with only a few updates getting in the way as both the Desktop and Laptop Garuda installs needed them! The other issue will require further research and hunting in order to resolve it. However, I do have the config files Garuda Sway and have started to read them. If I get anything useful out of them, that is anyone's guess! ROFL Maybe I will learn yet how to link Fastfetch to Alacritty, and make it display automatically. It could be super simple, or unimaginably hard.

Wow, that Set-up for Garuda Sway was faster than expected. Using what I remembered from my experience with Distroshelf and how it worked the last time…I quickly got it up and running on my Garuda Sway install.

I will probably update some things with the theme of Sway, as I like it but Foot Terminal needs some help…That will come later on over time. As I learn some more about C.

Installed Garuda Sway on my Laptop on the Side. As I don't love peace, apparently. Working from it right now to get some finishing touches done like all of my apps set-up. Once that is done, I will let this thing sleep for a few days.

I honestly prefer the Garuda Linux implementation of Sway, as it is mostly dark mode and shows time in 12-hr format over most who do 24-hr by default. It looks so pretty, I will probably change the wallpaper, and do some basic modifications to the config file. But the Garuda Team did most of the heavy lifting with Sway.

They've implemented so many TUI apps that make navigating Sway easier and implemented mouse support with a lot of window management when possible. Thoughtful and rad, the Garuda Linux team are cooking!
