#GarudaLinux

2026-02-02

#GarudaLinux works so well on my 10th-gen laptop, I thought surely it won’t be able to work on my old 2014 iMac, it’s probably too old.

Garuda Linux: Hold my beer. And don’t call me Shirley.

After the debacle that was Manjaro a few years ago, Garuda has restored my faith in Arch distros.

#GarudaLinux with KDE Plasma is still my daily driver on Fives, and the more I use it, the more I like it.

Still not as easy as #Fedora when it comes to app installation and management, but Garuda is faster, supports hibernation on my laptop, and the built-in “Rani” app for system management is great stuff. So far, the only issues I’ve had with it are ones of my own making, so no complaints.

Thinking about migrating this devices to #guix so I have a #garudalinux (#archlinux based) and I want to migrate to #guix, problem is I need a client called #seafile and right now it doesn't exist for #guix. Its what I use to sync almost everything.

Went from Garuda Cinnamon to Garuda Mokka (KDE) for a couple of days, but it was too buggy so I went back to Cinnamon. Not sure if it's KDE Plasma's fault or Garuda's, as I had never tried KDE before. The stability of Cinnamon seems hard to beat though, and I have tried it on 4 distros at this point. #Linux #GarudaLinux #Cinnamon #KDE_plasma

Been impressed with #GarudaLinux as a daily driver on my laptop compared to Fedora. Garuda boots faster, has a very nice update system & built-in tools, seems to make the fans spin less, and has hibernate support!

Downsides: it doesn’t like SAMBA, it doesn’t support KDE Discover nor `pamac` NOR Flatpak! Yes, I can install Flatpak support, but come on, Garuda! Octopi is for masochists who don’t care about app discoverability.

on an ? It's more likely than you think. I had a few minor gripes with so I went ahead and hopped to a different flavor. is the desktop environment of choice. One of these days I might just end up on base . :KEKW: :sickmeme:

@nixfreak Thanks. #GarudaLinux I've never heard of it.

I need to add an addendum to this post.

Uninstalling 'Caribou' will remove the Cinnamon Desktop Environment for some reason. So you may want a backup DE for your system to boot into before uninstalling it. Then reinstall the Cinnamon DE. Otherwise, you might just end up at a terminal screen. I had XFCE installed, so it defaulted to that DE.

Dear users,

If you are running into this dependence issue:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: installing pacman (7.1.0.r7.gb9f7d4a-1) breaks dependency 'libalpm.so=15' required by libpamac-aur

Open up Octopi and search for "pamac-aur & libpamac-aur" and uninstall them both.

If you run into another dependency error between Cinnamon and caribou, uninstall Caribou as well.

Updates are working as intended again on this end.

Heck it.

Installing Garuda Linux because it's Arch, uses KDE Plasma, and has a specialized gaming version that has A FUCKING RAWRY DRAGON as it's mascot, plus all the gaming stuff I'm gonna install pre-installed.

Fives is running #Arch, BTW, courtesy of #GarudaLinux KDE “Mokka.”

This distro is absolutely gorgeous, and FAST! Holy cow, this OS boots in ⅔ the time of Fedora! The built-in helper utilities are some of the best I’ve EVER seen.

But.

WHY can’t we have Discover?, Flatpak is DIY, but the red line for me is that it ABSOLUTELY REFUSES to connect to my LAN shares. Neither #samba nor NFS works despite fiddling with config files all day.

Guess I’m sliding that #Fedora SSD back in. Too bad. So FAST…

runs on btw. You can use the x86_64 binary packages from x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x or the AUR PKGBUILDs from aur.archlinux.org/packages/xli. We've tested both ways and they work just like on .

@benjamin_e @gamingonlinux en terme d'utilisation, mais peut-être moins connu on m'a parlé de #GarudaLinux aussi basé sur Arch et spécialisé dans le jeu vidéo.
