Garuda Linux is an Arch Linux based distro with a graphical installer, graphical programs for managing system settings, optimized for performance, BTRFS file system for snapshots. It sounds a like distro I have always dreamed of. I have tried Garuda KDE Dr460nized, Garuda KDE Multimedia, and Garuda Wayfire editions and can tell you if Garuda Linux is indeed so great.

I installed garuda Linux and it has become my favourite OS!
You do not know the power of garuda Linux
@@shreyasneerubhavi This is probably why there are so many Linux distros. So, everyone can find his/her favorite one.
@@shreyasneerubhavi What's the power?
@@AverageLinuxUser I have used more then 10 Linux OS but never felt such fast app loading and execution In any other distro yet
I finally have found a Garuda Linux honest review
In simple words Garuda is awesome
Best review of garuda Linux ever available in UA-cam.🔥
And the most honest one, might I say.
This OS was not designed with a virtual machine in mind. When I installed it on a VM, it was so slow but once I installed it on my laptop, it worked like charm. I even enabled the powersave-tweaks from the assistant app and the battery life is better than what I've seen on pop and ubuntu.
Have been using Garuda dragonised for quite some time now and it is fantastic!
I tested it on the real hardware. I only recorded reboot and a few other small fragments using VirtualBox.
It says right on their website not to use it on a VM or with dual boot. I tried it for awhile but to me it sucks. I love Vanilla Arch with Vanilla Plasma. All that bloat is just looking to break.
@@johnarnold893 yes. I've shifted to Vanilla Arch as well with BSPWM. Works like a charm and doesn't break on every update like Garuda.
I left Windows for Garuda Dr46onized Gaming release 6 month ago, it is the first distro that inspired me to take the step over to Linux.
Still I consider my self a noob and a GUI user but im slowly learning commands and how to use the terminal...
Now im running my pc on four screens without any issues what so ever, customized about everything possible and it looks awesome!!
After detoxing from Windows software I now use only opensource software, that took me some time, it was har letting go of the programs ive learned to master... Today I manage all my needs on my Garuda system, grahpic design,gaming, banking and all officelike tasks.
I can very much recomend you to try Garuda!! I only found it after trying 25+ distros and at that time was scared of leaving Windows,
you will probably find everything youre looking for in Garuda!
I shifted from windows 10 to linux after 7 years of usage on this machine , and it got pathetic at the end. And after switching a lot of distros I finally settled for Garuda Linux , after using Garuda for 2 days I deleted the Paid Windows Partition. It's simply awesome and I regret not making this switch earlier, but then now things are much smoother and perfect with linux and the time is absolutely ripe for windows users to make the switch (mostly for people who use their machine for non gaming purposes.)
Same feelings here, although did run into some issues with Garuda and ended up installing EndeavourOS, absolutely loving it
Which flavor are you using? And do you still liking garuda?
@@tizimessina I used dragonized then I shifted to barebones edition as I learnt more about Linux and how to use it and customize things myself
@@papiyabasu1564 thank you!!!
Awesome Video ALU, Thanks For This! 🥳
Thanks for the review mate
System broke and timeshift didn't fix it, I'll bet you whatever that this is caused by the shell (fish or ZSH) they're using as the default instead of bash. Install bash, make it the default and remove whatever shell they're using as default, reboot and it'll work just fine. I've experienced that first-hand so many times. I never knew what it was that always broke my system (exactly like you showed in the video, even the latte dock weird look) until someone on reddit pointed it out to me. Now, that I use bash as default, my system never broke.
Edit: that issue is specific to the KDE version of the distro.
thanks for this advices, I was wondering about this error message about the McFly DB xD - gonna get rid of it!
You just saved me days of troubleshooting mate o/
Great, honest review. Thank you.
Thanks for the video dude.
Thank you for this great review. You are the best person I follow and I learned a lot from you. Thank you very much.
Great video... Honest review
ahhaha , big patience with the errors
Very welcome review
Something's working 🎧😍
Need dot for the conky in the very first frame of this video! So simple, so neat.
I have completely switched to Garuda. I really like the out-of-the-box setup of btrfs/encryption/hibernate/snapshot. I know all of this can be installed on vanilla arch, but lately I have found myself being little motivated spending days going through the arch wiki and configuring all myself. But I do agree that boot time is pretty bad and it's a bit bloated, but for me that's acceptable regarding the gains.
I tried Dragonized a while back. And while it seemed like it worked fine, it also appeared to be very rapidly eating up my available drive space. Maybe I didn't have something configured right, I don't know. I've been using RebornOS on a new and very old machine, based on Arch, w/ Cinnamon desktop for the past few months, and have been very happy with that. Not one problem has cropped up.
Try pure Arch Linux one day ua-cam.com/video/UiYS8xWFXLY/v-deo.html
Turn off timeshift
it was time-shift. Every time you update. it makes a snapshot . You need to configure it to move that snapshot to a seperate drive or turn it off.
@@Pinko-Diamond Just set it to only save a limited number of snapshots.
Plain Arch and Plasma work great. Just make sure you always sync before you upgrade or install any new software. Learn the CLI method for software installing.
I had the very same issues as you, and deleted it ASAP!
As always, awesome!
Thank you for honest review. I feel like all others are paid for...
Yap, "awesome videos" ++
He is one of the best UA-cam content creator for me.
i love my Feren OS! i have everything what i need. But i think Garuda is realy good too. I'm juz worry about stability
Please make more videos on Linux Mint. Iam a new user of mint I just like Linux Mint by watching your videos and I need a complete guide on linux mint. Please make a video on this topic.
Garuda looks pretty impressive and snappy. KDE versions of distros are already beautiful, but this and Manjaro remain to be my fav interpretations of KDE.
Needs window tiling like in Pop os
I also tried with this and had a bunch of issues so I had to revert it. Honest review though.
About screenshot apps... Actually tried many of them. But most of them are buggy or not so feature-rich.
But I discovered an app named ksnip. It works very well and has many features. But for some reason, it is not so popular. It satisfies all my requirements: it has an Imgur uploader (you can log in), can quickly edit screenshot (arrows, icons, censorship, text, markers, etc.), can be customized to your needs, and it works well without errors or crashes. I highly recommend giving it a try, a very nice tool!
Got me to watch with that click bait title. Thought maybe something was better than MX. Good video. Disappointed to see the results though. Thanks ALU!!!
i got the same problems in dragonized too
If you want gaming centric distro, go for Solus, rock solid stability as well as rolling release.
Unfortunately I'm having the same experience. I really wanted the Wayfire version to work. Then I tried the LXQT version, same problem with the update not being able to finish (corrupt files lol). I'm probably gonna go back to arch, arcolinux or manjaro. Distro hopping sucks :/
I'll stick with Mint - very, very stable.
I have an Arch Linux/Openbox install as my daily driver and it runs flawlessly and has done for two years but I was almost taken in by the Garuda Dr460nized hype for the pretty colours and menus (and admittently some very cool advanced features) but your review set me straight... Why would I change a bug-free, lightning fast Vanilla Arch install for a buggy, blinged up pretender to the Archlinux throne... no. Great review, thanks ALU
Arch can do anything Garuda can do, lol.
@@johnarnold893 just install kde with latte and sweetify themeing (and kwant for the application windows) :D
Great video! Why wouldn't you use it on a daily basis? Because it's a rolling release distribution?
nope. because it's full of bugs
@@fredericoalves3169 I see
@@fredericoalves3169 Yup, it broke on me so I just use Arch with Plasma, nothing fancy.
I have used Garuda dragonized for a couple of months, things I have learnt are never update system everyday even when there's a update. Pacman doesn't work as intended all the time so it's better to use terminal to install.
Isn't Pacman the terminal method, Pamac is the Gui.
Tried Garuda, updates were very problematic, various errors. It pretty, thats about it. Went back to Arcolinux. It just works.
Is it good for older hardwares like 10 years ago?
the system monitor on the right,it's default on garuda,isn't it ?
Finally someone address it's problems. Great review!
And also, I think the title "Garuda Linux - distro I have always dreamed of?* " would be more appropriate as before clicking on the video I though this was a praise video of Garuda again...
EZ free SkillShare :3 Thanks
I set up an arch system in 2011 and used it for a couple of months. Then, I realized the repositories weren't signed. I installed Debian the next day.
Made me chuckle
What do you mean?
Thanks for the review. I tried to use it, too, a few months earlier. I felt that the devs tried to do too many things at once. Boot time and shut down time were unusually long. They need a lot of work to do with this distro, other than good looks.
I agree with your conclusion. Arch Linux is only usable when it is simple.
bonjour, j'ai téléchargé sur mon windws 10 mais ca ne vient pas en format ISO. Ca veut dire quoi format dd? et comment je dois faire pour l'installer sur mon ordi?
a proper review
What is the kernel version used ?
My pc have an nvidia GeForce graphics card wich supports nvidia304 or lower driver . So it won't work on any Linux distro which uses Linux kernel higher than version 4.x
I once had the same problem with the LMDE version, but a bit of cheating with the older LMDE took a copy with Timeshift (from the old version with Nvidia 340 installed ) , copied it to the other laptop an there i locked the Nvidia version in synaptic, than did an distro-upgrade and got the LMDE4 version with Nvidia running fine, not straight forward but working.
When I click on the link for a direct download, torrent download its offline. When I download the iso from a different source and use etcher or Rufus it partitions my USB drive to 4mb and doesn't copy over the necessary files to boot.
Does Garuda linux automatically recognise my USB Wi-Fi connection?
while enjoying your tour, i still believe, the caption title is misleading to most viewers, because of your final conclusion!
Thank you for the feedback. I changed ! to ? in the title. Is it Ok?
@@AverageLinuxUser thought it as pure suggestion my friend! Everything is fine
Can Linux Mint use for daily os.
Was using it with no issues, but btrfs broke on me :( I use Arch with i3wm now btw
The simpler it gets, the less issues you will have
I **LOVE** Garuda Linux, I use the Cinnamon flavor. I used it in the past Linux Mint Cinnamon. I just love the Cinnamon flavor. EVERYTHING and I means EVERYTHING is GUI. I don't normally like arch-based distros but I love Garuda!!!
I tried the Garuda Cinnamon version. It was okay but still had some issues. I kind of look at Garuda as a distro in development. It is still reasonably new, to me anyway. I'll keep checking in when they put new ISOs out, but that's about it. The only Arch-based distro I would use as a DD is Manjaro. Manjaro makes Arch pretty simple for a non-techie like me. Perhaps if Arch itself came with Calamares I'd be tempted, otherwise not :) For an average user with average tech skills, Arch is generally just a lot more work than something that is Ubuntu/Debian based. But, each to their own :)
You can use archfi script (search on youtube) to install arch. It is almost like a graphical installer. But more..... archy
@@daiyaanmuhammad Yeah, I have tried a few different installers for Arch over time. I know eznix has different scripts and these days he may even have installers for Arch. But, I'm not that 'techie' really, and I'm probably not that 'Archy' either :) Especially when you can install Manjaro and everything is simple and just works. Endeavour also has a wonderful Calamares style installer and is really good... it's just more 'work' than Manjaro :) Those two are my go-tos for Arch-based distros at the moment. But Manjaro is the only one I would use as a DD... I just find it easier and less troublesome... for me anyway :) Manjaro Cinnamon, Mint Cinnamon and LMDE are my main three distros. I really like Fedora Cinnamon as well but it isn't always as reliable for me as the other three. Fedora 33 crashed and burned for me unfortunately. Maybe it would be more reliable if I TTY'd the updates like I do for Manjaro. Actually, I'll try that with 34 and see how it goes :)
You need a good community, to run such an OS and fix issues promptly, Also too much false advertising. Open source distros, despite being open source, never think of collaborating.
Nice one but I really don't like all that bells and whistles, I've tried the gaming edition, it's run smooth and fine, but I spent hours getting rid of useless app I didn't want.
Hey I am watching it in garuda dr40nized
Bruh coud you review garuda touchscreen feature ?
Garuda Linux is also a tribute to Hindu God In called Garuda (Eagle in English).
There’s written Shri (श्री) at the top of Website, Shri which Denotes respect towards each other & god in Hindu religion like Shri Ganesh Ji , a hindu god whose torso is of Elephant and body of a human - and Shri Ganesh ji is worshipped as Remover of Obstacles & starting anything new in life 🙏🏼😄
@@davidmarinegold3243 You really need to learn to respect other religions as well.
@@davidmarinegold3243 it's okay. I hope you grow up soon 😄
@@davidmarinegold3243 I despise pro-trumpers, if they’d be Respectful towards other Religions they’d be at the top of food chain in US. Democrats are as big of hypocrites, but they atleast show respect for Not forcing their beliefs of Christianity over others.
I am not a US citizen, but I’d advise y’all to be respectful of People living in Other Country. It’s shameful, I look upto Alabama and Wisconsin for carrying the Rural America forward, it becomes a huge limiting factor when they start forcing their ‘Christian’ thoughts over in other states who are happily not following a “mono-theistic” religion & a poly-theistic religion like Hinduism.
@@davidmarinegold3243 I hope you guys take back America from Becoming WOKE. BLM Looting small businesses was shameful, and In comparision pro trumpers only take out a rally on road with their cars. Much peaceful time in comparision.

My system broke so many times I got fed up and installed endeavour os
мне понравился по скорости и скромным требованием ресурсам manjaro openbox, но уж больно он геморройный в настройках. Случайно наткнулся на _Mabox_ Linux, который решил эту проблему. Причем у него репозитории от манжаро. Присмотрись, Димитро.
Постараюсь глянуть. Спасибо
I stuck on Windows because there are no good downloading program on linux like IDM on Windows, and GNUCash on Linux does not work good like running it on windows (if you want the latest version of GnuCash on Linux, you will have problem with typing unicode). I love Linux, but can't use it as my primary OS.
Have you tried uGet or XDM? I am sure they're some nice financial programs too.

Garuda Barebones for a long time it was one of my best Plasma experiences
Same, garuda barebones is the best. I have been using it for 2 months now and i have not got any problems.
@@crumbae1248 really
@@shreyasneerubhavi yes, i mean there is still the late booting time and installation time but there is no major problems.
The late booting is related to x11 use Wayland and it boots as fast as windows 10 on a SSD
Wayland is now pretty stable for everyday use
I tried Garuda Dragonized and it was ok, but eventually same thing happened as does when I used Manjaro. One day the update would show up with a lot of updates to do and after installing them and rebooting, the system failed to boot. It happened with Manjaro and this one, and this is based off of Manjaro, so it was no surprise that I had a similiar experience after a massive update.
Langit tujuh can u review it
Use Ubuntu, or centos, or Debian or open suse, if not Kali, or parrot, or may be tail if that's your thing.
Venila arch >>>>
Still needs a lot more work!
Beautiful Distro but unfortuantely very buggy, at least for me.
can anyone tell me how can i make this in pop-os 2:57
go to system settings and appeariance, look for task switch (or windows switch) effects :)
I've tested Garuda Linux several weeks ago and I had the same conclusion: "if you want to waste your time, install it". So, if you want to be sponsorized by Garuda Linux, I recommand you change your pseudo. Thanks for this funny video. 😈
that is exactly what an "average" linux user "dreams" of
Bro use xfce it always best for any Linux distro
But it is so ugly
No. KDE is faster now. XFCE has no point.
Nice 😋😋😋😍😍
As someone who has only used Manjaro for my Arch Linux experience; I really have liked using Garuda for the last few days. It's very strange how many things it does in the GUI that most distros practically force you to do at the command line. In general, I'm more of a fan of the debian style distros but I'm really considering moving to Garuda as my daily driver because it's so much snappier and low maintenance than my Linux Mint with KDE that I'm currently using.
I don't think it's low maintenance in a long run. I am sure things will break and you would need to type commands to fix them. I have seem enough errors already after a little over one week of use.
I have been using it for months nothing brakes I have updated the kernel too to latest u also have timeshift to go back to previous version if u don't like it don't listen to random ppl on internet telling u anything. This guy thinks it has bad performance coz his windows can't slide at 1000fps or something meanwhile when u run tons of apps it's really smooth and uses the wasted ram to give u performance
Also use Wayland due to alot of theming and x11 being a mess of decades the load times are huge with Wayland it's as fast as windows 10 on SSD
Same. I installed KDE Gaming edition today. Everything updated fine. No issues whatsoever. All the assistant utilities saved a ton of time setting things up.
All the naysayers are moronic crybabies that fap over how little ram a Arch distro should use, without actually using Linux for anything.
Ran Dragonized on three different computers that have different processors and graphics cards. Each system had a few minor issues. All were usable for a while. But eventually, something would crash it. It uses a lot of resources. Trying to recover it from the backup doesn't little but allow you to get back into the system to save stuff before it crashes again. The crashes always seem to happen after updates. It is pretty, but what I have ended up doing is confirming Manjaro to resemble it with the Sweet theme and Candy icons. Also, replace the default panel with Latte and activate Panel and Dock. Manjaro at that point will closely resemble Garuda Dragonized but it will use way fewer resources and be much more stable. Latte does introduce some stability issues, though, and that is perhaps part of the problem Dragonized has.
Manjaro breaks more frequently because it uses its own repos. Garuda uses Arch repos.
Also, Manjaro doesn't have Timeshift integration, doesn't have WINE and DXVK preconfigured, doesn't have assistant utilities that make installing and configuring services a matter of 1 click.
Unused ram is wasted ram.
Did you use virtual box?? Out real hardware??
Real hardware for testing and VirtualBox only for some recording.
On which distro it is based
Arch Linux
seems like you use garuda on virtual machines. But garuda actually does not supported on virtual machines. It's website already said that. That's wyh you live some problems with it.
Who would use an OS not supported on VMs? That makes it worthless.
@@crhu319 well, actually there is same problem in Mac OS X too
What's the difference VS Manjaro?
manjaro is actually good.
Nothing Much Just The File system and Desktop interface
Garuda comes with a lot of softwares for everything... Manjaro comes with generic kernal ... Garuda comes xanmod (good for gaming)
@@MrPinkK Because, manjaro gives little more attention to the small details. They keep regular Arch updates for some 2 to 4 weeks before they send them to the users to sort out the bugs. They make better optimizations...
Obviously Garuda falls apart by going out of the current graphical minimalism trend by offering this far Eastern inspired exuberant alternative!... Yeah!... That might appeal for many, notably gamers and the likes!... Garuda will end up 2021 on Distrowatch #1 or very near it for sure!... And among the most installed ones as well!... To each, its own, really, but, let us not to be fooled on that: Manjaro has far more sane defaults, even though with some duplications or lack of attention to the detail here or there... Oh!... And they have such a wonderfully nice community ready to help you, wherever you are on your Linux journey. And on that they're perhaps sort of innovative ones!... Actually they're pushing the community towards the nice behavior and trying to avoid the toxicity we see upstream on so many other communities; ironically, even the Arch one as well... They are a far more mature project. And one with longer legs to run on the long term... I would be courageous enough to say that Manjaro is now sort of like something for Linux Mint than one day what Linux Mint was for Ubuntu... And what back in the day Ubuntu was for Debian!...
Meanwhile congrats for the video, ALU!...
Manjaro has its own mismanaged repos. Garuda uses Arch repos.
Manjaro has become as corporate and out-of-touch as Ubuntu. Last year, their treasurer resigned when a Manjaro dev used community funds to buy a gaming laptop.
Garuda has a customized Librewolf fork, assistant utilities, btrfs snapshots, hardened linux kernel, zram, nohang, ananicy, self-hosts Nextcloud/Bitwarden/Cryptpad/Whoogle etc.
The shitty part is no matter what you do it can't be installed from USB. I have tried ventoy, balena etcher, Rufus, dd, woeusb, and so many more ways even manually. It won't boot at all. Shitty OS. Old version used to boot fine with etcher.
Just today I installed the KDE Gaming edition from USB just fine.
@@ErebosGR the newer one works. The comment is old.
Garuda Linux is good, but it need to be more stable
Fedora 34 please
I will try. Thanks for the request.
Finally someone spoke the truth! I got tired of the constant propaganda over Garuda. Its overadvertised and tottally overrated. I tried wayfire and lxqt and had the same problems. Everything felt shiny but broken. What about telemetry? Are there any trust issues with that distro?
😋😋😋
It looks nice but with all these issues, I'll pass.
Wow, this sounds like a terrible distro, even the Dr460nized with all the duplicate programs - it just sounds like there was total disregard to duplicating KDE and Gnome apps and environment
proud of my India🇮🇳
@Arka Mandal lol you just contradicted yourself...
It is the most polished and thought-out Arch-based distro at this moment.
Every choice they've made to differentiate it from all the other ones was purposeful and based on performance, from the choice of kernel to the configuration of nohang, ananicy etc.
wtf why do all the comments look paid. SUS
I like your videos, but this title is clickbait
Most unstable Linux distro that I have ever seen.
That theme is way too much for me.
finally an honest review of garuda linux but every other linux youtuber is just selling cow dung in their garuda videos! but i like this honest guy! GARUDA IS PROBLEMATIC DONT INSTALL !
Thanks for your appreciation
Just installed the KDE Gaming edition today. No problems at all. Everything updated fine and I uninstall what I didn't want.
Garuda is from India by the way
That's not the Real Problem.
The Real Problem is This Software is Too New in Market and It's in Fully Test Phase.
I had the same experience with the multimedia edition, it's buggy, bloated and ugly. not worth the hype
not a good distro overall. tested it a while ago and didnt like any of the versions. So many effects and bloatware is in users face to do something (it gets boring after a while and you have to do so much to just disable theme). performance-wise it did not do any better at all and worth like you said in some cases.
If you wanna game, there are so many other distros to try that work good both as desktop/gaming box. (Manjaro, PopOS, ...)
I totally agree with you 👍
I've been considering moving from consoles to pc for gaming and I was wondering why certain distros would be considered better for gaming. Is it just a matter of certain items being preinstalled? If you were able to share some knowledge about this I would be appreciative.
@@cortecz you can always install what you need if the distro supports it and you now what you are doing (distro supporting drivers and apps you need is important), but yes if a distro comes with Nvidia's proprietary drivers installed and configured by default (if you got a navid card) and aslo works better and more optimized with it, it is an advantage. You can not even boot to some distros easily with an nvidia card. My recommendation would be to start with PopOs (which even has a separate Nvidia version) and then explore some arch base distro like Manjaro.
@@AmidMajd I see. Thank you. I do have nvidia geoforce. I can boot into Mint 18 sylvia or MX 19 continuum and have never had any issue with it.
If you don't know how to disable Plasma effects, switch themes and uninstall preinstalled programs, you should stick to Windows.
At this moment, Garuda is better thought-out and performant than Manjaro or Pop_OS.
Garuda is very awesome. Shud be the standard for linux
Yes!!! Exactly!
What a disappointment and rounded corners, yuck.
I dislike them too :D
Garuda Linux made in Indonesia
The First =)
