Nothing like that "new distro" feel - lemm.ee

New? Does it come with 2080 packages out of the box?

My thoughts exactly, Garuda looks out of the box like a install i’m done with and have to redo.

But to each their own, i’m not judging, i was young not too long ago.

There is a plain kde version that doesn’t have all the gamer color flare, forums won’t support you tho, which isn’t a problem if you know what you’re doing
They likely have chosen a lot of programs on the installer. I have had my current install for a few years and I'm sitting at 2029 packages
I did select a number of programs to install during setup so I had everything I needed. Spot on!
Garuda has multiple ISOs, ranging from almost bare to batteries + power plant included. This appears to be the most heavy one, which is great to get to know cool software, but also an Arch veterans nightmare.
