dollar sixty day credit it has been a while sixty day credit it has been a while sixty day credit it has been a while since we checked out Garuda Linux here since we checked out Garuda Linux here since we checked out Garuda Linux here on the channel uh last time I didn't on the channel uh last time I didn't on the channel uh last time I didn't have the nicest things to say about it have the nicest things to say about it have the nicest things to say about it but it's been been a while and there's but it's been been a while and there's but it's been been a while and there's been quite a few updates and changes so been quite a few updates and changes so been quite a few updates and changes so I figured now is a good time to take a I figured now is a good time to take a I figured now is a good time to take a look at the arch-based distribution look at the arch-based distribution look at the arch-based distribution right now I am in the operating system right now I am in the operating system right now I am in the operating system if you're familiar with this at all they if you're familiar with this at all they if you're familiar with this at all they are most known for their dare I say are most known for their dare I say are most known for their dare I say dramatic level of eye candy and dramatic level of eye candy and dramatic level of eye candy and customization on their dragonized customization on their dragonized customization on their dragonized version this is the latest release version this is the latest release version this is the latest release announcement you can see 230305 just announcement you can see 230305 just announcement you can see 230305 just over a week ago this was released this over a week ago this was released this over a week ago this was released this is running in a virtual machine so if is running in a virtual machine so if is running in a virtual machine so if you see any performance issues that is you see any performance issues that is you see any performance issues that is most likely the issue but one of the big most likely the issue but one of the big most likely the issue but one of the big changes is they actually moved the latte changes is they actually moved the latte changes is they actually moved the latte dock in the replacement with the actual dock in the replacement with the actual dock in the replacement with the actual like KDE widgets and system components like KDE widgets and system components like KDE widgets and system components which is nice it's a thing of less is which is nice it's a thing of less is which is nice it's a thing of less is better when it comes to installing an better when it comes to installing an better when it comes to installing an operating system like this we have operating system like this we have operating system like this we have information about the setup assistant information about the setup assistant information about the setup assistant which I did keep open grew to update 4.0 which I did keep open grew to update 4.0 which I did keep open grew to update 4.0 I'm not going to dive into every single I'm not going to dive into every single I'm not going to dive into every single little thing here but I will definitely little thing here but I will definitely little thing here but I will definitely link to this down below one thing that link to this down below one thing that link to this down below one thing that is nice though is they're a separate is nice though is they're a separate is nice though is they're a separate Garuda repository it has been argued Garuda repository it has been argued Garuda repository it has been argued that you're not a real Linux that you're not a real Linux that you're not a real Linux distribution unless if you have your distribution unless if you have your distribution unless if you have your very own repositories hot take by uh very own repositories hot take by uh very own repositories hot take by uh Brody there and if you do go to this Brody there and if you do go to this Brody there and if you do go to this page you can click this to see a full page you can click this to see a full page you can click this to see a full change log of everything that is going change log of everything that is going change log of everything that is going on and I will note that out of all the on and I will note that out of all the on and I will note that out of all the distributions this is one of them that distributions this is one of them that distributions this is one of them that definitely does a really good job at definitely does a really good job at definitely does a really good job at maintaining a variety of different maintaining a variety of different maintaining a variety of different desktop environments obviously the KDE

desktop environments obviously the KDE desktop environments obviously the KDE dragonized version being the most dragonized version being the most dragonized version being the most popular and they do have git and light popular and they do have git and light popular and they do have git and light versions if you just want a vanilla KDE versions if you just want a vanilla KDE versions if you just want a vanilla KDE experience with Garuda as the backing experience with Garuda as the backing experience with Garuda as the backing distribution so let's minimize this for distribution so let's minimize this for distribution so let's minimize this for now and I'm going to start by kind of now and I'm going to start by kind of now and I'm going to start by kind of going over some of my initial little going over some of my initial little going over some of my initial little complaints here and all my complaints complaints here and all my complaints complaints here and all my complaints seem to be generally based on appearance seem to be generally based on appearance seem to be generally based on appearance preferences I think these icons are preferences I think these icons are preferences I think these icons are silly as well as some of the theming but silly as well as some of the theming but silly as well as some of the theming but it's their brand you gotta respect it in it's their brand you gotta respect it in it's their brand you gotta respect it in them most circumstances here the overall them most circumstances here the overall them most circumstances here the overall look is something I'd probably set up on look is something I'd probably set up on look is something I'd probably set up on like a really janky like Windows and 7 like a really janky like Windows and 7 like a really janky like Windows and 7 installed when I was 12 years old but installed when I was 12 years old but installed when I was 12 years old but for many people it's absolutely for many people it's absolutely for many people it's absolutely beautiful and of course you could always beautiful and of course you could always beautiful and of course you could always just change the icons it's KD plasma so just change the icons it's KD plasma so just change the icons it's KD plasma so you could really just do a lot getting you could really just do a lot getting you could really just do a lot getting into some of the actual system into some of the actual system into some of the actual system components this is the Garuda setup components this is the Garuda setup components this is the Garuda setup which this will allow you and make it a which this will allow you and make it a which this will allow you and make it a lot easier to grab certain system lot easier to grab certain system lot easier to grab certain system components OS preferences we have things components OS preferences we have things components OS preferences we have things like a Samba scanner printer support like a Samba scanner printer support like a Samba scanner printer support additional wallpapers things like that additional wallpapers things like that additional wallpapers things like that if I go over to input we have a bunch of if I go over to input we have a bunch of if I go over to input we have a bunch of fonts we can choose from you could add fonts we can choose from you could add fonts we can choose from you could add additional software centers and they do additional software centers and they do additional software centers and they do have their own right here if I click on have their own right here if I click on have their own right here if I click on that this says octopi watch this it's that this says octopi watch this it's that this says octopi watch this it's not the most like user well it's pretty not the most like user well it's pretty not the most like user well it's pretty user friendly but it's not like a noob user friendly but it's not like a noob user friendly but it's not like a noob friendly you have all your different friendly you have all your different friendly you have all your different packages here for the specific package packages here for the specific package packages here for the specific package we have 080 selected it gives you the we have 080 selected it gives you the we have 080 selected it gives you the description some links you have your description some links you have your description some links you have your files actions you can open up the files actions you can open up the files actions you can open up the terminal and watch it actually do some terminal and watch it actually do some terminal and watch it actually do some things overall a fairly decent package things overall a fairly decent package things overall a fairly decent package manager especially if you have manager especially if you have manager especially if you have experience kind of working with Linux experience kind of working with Linux experience kind of working with Linux packages or of course you just use this packages or of course you just use this packages or of course you just use this to grab like the Discover Center for to grab like the Discover Center for to grab like the Discover Center for example you have additional kernels here example you have additional kernels here example you have additional kernels here that you could select I believe that

that you could select I believe that that you could select I believe that this ships with the Zen kernel we have this ships with the Zen kernel we have this ships with the Zen kernel we have office applications so if I wanted to office applications so if I wanted to office applications so if I wanted to grab only office right here I could and grab only office right here I could and grab only office right here I could and there are a lot more to choose from and there are a lot more to choose from and there are a lot more to choose from and a lot more other office type programs a lot more other office type programs a lot more other office type programs such as gnu cash browsers they are using such as gnu cash browsers they are using such as gnu cash browsers they are using this one that we just had open this is a this one that we just had open this is a this one that we just had open this is a fire dragon which I believe is just a fire dragon which I believe is just a fire dragon which I believe is just a kind of a fork of Firefox I do believe kind of a fork of Firefox I do believe kind of a fork of Firefox I do believe so you can grab your preferred stuff so you can grab your preferred stuff so you can grab your preferred stuff there I do like it when uh operating there I do like it when uh operating there I do like it when uh operating systems do this they didn't do this systems do this they didn't do this systems do this they didn't do this during the install but it is nice that during the install but it is nice that during the install but it is nice that it's here you could grab popular it's here you could grab popular it's here you could grab popular communication things such as Discord communication things such as Discord communication things such as Discord Microsoft teams and if I go over there's Microsoft teams and if I go over there's Microsoft teams and if I go over there's really a lot of categories allowing you really a lot of categories allowing you really a lot of categories allowing you to grab various popular packages so if I to grab various popular packages so if I to grab various popular packages so if I go into multimedia for example I'm not go into multimedia for example I'm not go into multimedia for example I'm not seeing MPV is it the default it is the seeing MPV is it the default it is the seeing MPV is it the default it is the default so that's good that's my default so that's good that's my default so that's good that's my preferred default which is cool preferred default which is cool preferred default which is cool virtualization other things like Conkey virtualization other things like Conkey virtualization other things like Conkey Etc now I don't see any gaming Etc now I don't see any gaming Etc now I don't see any gaming categories so I'm gonna hit cancel just categories so I'm gonna hit cancel just categories so I'm gonna hit cancel just so I don't actually install anything and so I don't actually install anything and so I don't actually install anything and hit OK and here is grew to Linux Raptor hit OK and here is grew to Linux Raptor hit OK and here is grew to Linux Raptor again this is an arch distribution again this is an arch distribution again this is an arch distribution rolling release Here I know I just said rolling release Here I know I just said rolling release Here I know I just said that little thing didn't have a gaming that little thing didn't have a gaming that little thing didn't have a gaming categories right here grew to gamer this categories right here grew to gamer this categories right here grew to gamer this is where you'd go ahead and get all that is where you'd go ahead and get all that is where you'd go ahead and get all that so a lot of good tools here we have so a lot of good tools here we have so a lot of good tools here we have steam bottles which is really nice for steam bottles which is really nice for steam bottles which is really nice for installing one of my favorite games installing one of my favorite games installing one of my favorite games which is a Empire Earth 2. I have a which is a Empire Earth 2. I have a which is a Empire Earth 2. I have a whole separate video covering a lot of whole separate video covering a lot of whole separate video covering a lot of these tools and bottles it's definitely these tools and bottles it's definitely these tools and bottles it's definitely worth checking out if you're trying to worth checking out if you're trying to worth checking out if you're trying to game on Linux but here we have some game on Linux but here we have some game on Linux but here we have some games which are just some games that are games which are just some games that are games which are just some games that are available in the repositories and then available in the repositories and then available in the repositories and then we have emulators once again a lot of

we have emulators once again a lot of we have emulators once again a lot of these are absolutely fantastic wonderful these are absolutely fantastic wonderful these are absolutely fantastic wonderful experience of things like a duckstation experience of things like a duckstation experience of things like a duckstation PCS X2 wonderful software so I'm just PCS X2 wonderful software so I'm just PCS X2 wonderful software so I'm just gonna discard so I didn't select gonna discard so I didn't select gonna discard so I didn't select anything I'm going to hit apply so let's anything I'm going to hit apply so let's anything I'm going to hit apply so let's go ahead and close this out and it will go ahead and close this out and it will go ahead and close this out and it will take us back into grew to welcome we take us back into grew to welcome we take us back into grew to welcome we have settings manager and Network have settings manager and Network have settings manager and Network assistant a lot of tools here there was assistant a lot of tools here there was assistant a lot of tools here there was definitely some of these last time I definitely some of these last time I definitely some of these last time I took a look but I was just gonna open took a look but I was just gonna open took a look but I was just gonna open that up definitely not as much and it that up definitely not as much and it that up definitely not as much and it wasn't this uh kind of user-friendly wasn't this uh kind of user-friendly wasn't this uh kind of user-friendly system cleaner let's see what we got system cleaner let's see what we got system cleaner let's see what we got going on here okay so this just going on here okay so this just going on here okay so this just basically added stacer which is a basically added stacer which is a basically added stacer which is a separate utility oh there it goes so separate utility oh there it goes so separate utility oh there it goes so there's the option for it but it didn't there's the option for it but it didn't there's the option for it but it didn't come pre-installed this is like a kind come pre-installed this is like a kind come pre-installed this is like a kind of a c cleaner for Linux type situation of a c cleaner for Linux type situation of a c cleaner for Linux type situation you're probably familiar with it you you're probably familiar with it you you're probably familiar with it you have your startup applications here you have your startup applications here you have your startup applications here you have your actual cleaner for like have your actual cleaner for like have your actual cleaner for like package cash crash reports things like package cash crash reports things like package cash crash reports things like that and really a lot of other tools that and really a lot of other tools that and really a lot of other tools that you could use in this and I do have that you could use in this and I do have that you could use in this and I do have to warn you right here do uh be careful to warn you right here do uh be careful to warn you right here do uh be careful disabling Services if you jump into that disabling Services if you jump into that disabling Services if you jump into that you could have a real bad time it you could have a real bad time it you could have a real bad time it doesn't look like welcome opened again doesn't look like welcome opened again doesn't look like welcome opened again so I'm gonna open it through here so I'm gonna open it through here so I'm gonna open it through here partition manager so this is probably partition manager so this is probably partition manager so this is probably going to open up KDE partition manager going to open up KDE partition manager going to open up KDE partition manager yes it did so in comparison to a lot of yes it did so in comparison to a lot of yes it did so in comparison to a lot of distros it is a very nice welcome center distros it is a very nice welcome center distros it is a very nice welcome center and it looks like they're trying to kind and it looks like they're trying to kind and it looks like they're trying to kind of integrate the Mac OS style menu of integrate the Mac OS style menu of integrate the Mac OS style menu system up here so if I open up I believe system up here so if I open up I believe system up here so if I open up I believe this is Dolphin you could see up here this is Dolphin you could see up here this is Dolphin you could see up here the menu is integrated within the the menu is integrated within the the menu is integrated within the taskbar which I believe is just done taskbar which I believe is just done taskbar which I believe is just done with a KDE widget so if I go enter edit with a KDE widget so if I go enter edit with a KDE widget so if I go enter edit mode you can see right here Window app mode you can see right here Window app mode you can see right here Window app menu that is one thing a lot of menu that is one thing a lot of menu that is one thing a lot of different Linux distributions try to do different Linux distributions try to do different Linux distributions try to do is integrate the menu into the taskbar is integrate the menu into the taskbar is integrate the menu into the taskbar doing it with like just QT applications doing it with like just QT applications doing it with like just QT applications or just the KD plasma applications

or just the KD plasma applications or just the KD plasma applications usually is not a problem at all but then usually is not a problem at all but then usually is not a problem at all but then you have issues when you're running a you have issues when you're running a you have issues when you're running a non-kde application or applications that non-kde application or applications that non-kde application or applications that don't support that integration so let's don't support that integration so let's don't support that integration so let's try to find an example here so let's try to find an example here so let's try to find an example here so let's grab an application I know uses that gtk grab an application I know uses that gtk grab an application I know uses that gtk let's grab here oh this code opens let's grab here oh this code opens let's grab here oh this code opens up the little terminal for us to type in up the little terminal for us to type in up the little terminal for us to type in our password continue I really do like our password continue I really do like our password continue I really do like the octopi thing this is super cool and the octopi thing this is super cool and the octopi thing this is super cool and there we go there's my example the menus there we go there's my example the menus there we go there's my example the menus down here are not up here I do hope down here are not up here I do hope down here are not up here I do hope someday that they can integrate gtk and someday that they can integrate gtk and someday that they can integrate gtk and QT applications like that that'd be QT applications like that that'd be QT applications like that that'd be super cool there's a lot of super cool there's a lot of super cool there's a lot of distributions that try to be like Mac OS distributions that try to be like Mac OS distributions that try to be like Mac OS clones that just use that widget and clones that just use that widget and clones that just use that widget and it's a half successful as you can see it's a half successful as you can see it's a half successful as you can see but that's not at all what this but that's not at all what this but that's not at all what this operating system is trying to be so they operating system is trying to be so they operating system is trying to be so they get a pass and I do believe that if I get a pass and I do believe that if I get a pass and I do believe that if I maximize something such as the welcome maximize something such as the welcome maximize something such as the welcome you could see that the taskbar becomes you could see that the taskbar becomes you could see that the taskbar becomes integrated within the top menu here integrated within the top menu here integrated within the top menu here which is also a nice little clean which is also a nice little clean which is also a nice little clean feature and then Additionally you can feature and then Additionally you can feature and then Additionally you can open up the setup assistant again you open up the setup assistant again you open up the setup assistant again you can access some things such as the can access some things such as the can access some things such as the chaotic Aur and then we could go ahead chaotic Aur and then we could go ahead chaotic Aur and then we could go ahead and close this out now I am getting a and close this out now I am getting a and close this out now I am getting a little bit of uh something going on here little bit of uh something going on here little bit of uh something going on here which doesn't look necessarily the which doesn't look necessarily the which doesn't look necessarily the cleanest but if I jump into edit mode cleanest but if I jump into edit mode cleanest but if I jump into edit mode here still kind of popping up here and here still kind of popping up here and here still kind of popping up here and there but we can see that this is the there but we can see that this is the there but we can see that this is the task manager and right here we have task manager and right here we have task manager and right here we have options to configure this panel so again options to configure this panel so again options to configure this panel so again like I said in the beginning it is nice like I said in the beginning it is nice like I said in the beginning it is nice that they're using more of just the KDE that they're using more of just the KDE that they're using more of just the KDE plasma integrated features to kind of plasma integrated features to kind of plasma integrated features to kind of get the overall look that they are going get the overall look that they are going get the overall look that they are going for now like I said I think it looks a for now like I said I think it looks a for now like I said I think it looks a little cheesy so if it was me I am going

little cheesy so if it was me I am going little cheesy so if it was me I am going to go over here system settings under to go over here system settings under to go over here system settings under appearance you can change just about appearance you can change just about appearance you can change just about everything so it looks like they have everything so it looks like they have everything so it looks like they have two of their own they have the default two of their own they have the default two of their own they have the default dragonized and then they have a suite dragonized and then they have a suite dragonized and then they have a suite here so let's go ahead and apply that here so let's go ahead and apply that here so let's go ahead and apply that there's not too much of a difference there's not too much of a difference there's not too much of a difference this does already look a little bit this does already look a little bit this does already look a little bit better still has those icons though so better still has those icons though so better still has those icons though so if I had it my way I'd go over to icons if I had it my way I'd go over to icons if I had it my way I'd go over to icons and KDE plasma is really nice that the and KDE plasma is really nice that the and KDE plasma is really nice that the customization stuff so I could just go customization stuff so I could just go customization stuff so I could just go ahead and grab more search up something ahead and grab more search up something ahead and grab more search up something like vimix I believe there it is install like vimix I believe there it is install like vimix I believe there it is install that kind of sticking with the theme that kind of sticking with the theme that kind of sticking with the theme let's go Ruby here let's use them and let's go Ruby here let's use them and let's go Ruby here let's use them and there we go so now that's looking a there we go so now that's looking a there we go so now that's looking a little bit better in my opinion but little bit better in my opinion but little bit better in my opinion but overall it is a really clean distro and overall it is a really clean distro and overall it is a really clean distro and they have made a substantial they have made a substantial they have made a substantial improvements to the point where it is improvements to the point where it is improvements to the point where it is the recommendable as a distribution I do the recommendable as a distribution I do the recommendable as a distribution I do have to kind of put it on a list above have to kind of put it on a list above have to kind of put it on a list above some other Arch based distros definitely some other Arch based distros definitely some other Arch based distros definitely not number one I'd have to give that to not number one I'd have to give that to not number one I'd have to give that to Endeavor OS but this is a fantastic way Endeavor OS but this is a fantastic way Endeavor OS but this is a fantastic way to get into some of these uh tiling to get into some of these uh tiling to get into some of these uh tiling window managers I've tried the I3 window managers I've tried the I3 window managers I've tried the I3 version in the past and it was a really version in the past and it was a really version in the past and it was a really good time as well as sway sways good time as well as sway sways good time as well as sway sways basically I3 and Wayland definitely not basically I3 and Wayland definitely not basically I3 and Wayland definitely not going to be switching to this I'm kind going to be switching to this I'm kind going to be switching to this I'm kind of a norbara fanboy at the moment but I of a norbara fanboy at the moment but I of a norbara fanboy at the moment but I do like what they've done here and it's do like what they've done here and it's do like what they've done here and it's a little sluggish in this I've virtual a little sluggish in this I've virtual a little sluggish in this I've virtual machine but I can tell that on some good machine but I can tell that on some good machine but I can tell that on some good Hardware this will this is a clean Hardware this will this is a clean Hardware this will this is a clean Snappy Linux distribution especially Snappy Linux distribution especially Snappy Linux distribution especially with the optimizations and so just the with the optimizations and so just the with the optimizations and so just the stuff it ships with that Zen kernel like stuff it ships with that Zen kernel like stuff it ships with that Zen kernel like we mentioned I believe the default file we mentioned I believe the default file we mentioned I believe the default file system actually we could check that if system actually we could check that if system actually we could check that if we open up welcome and go to the we open up welcome and go to the we open up welcome and go to the partition manager I'm pretty sure it's partition manager I'm pretty sure it's partition manager I'm pretty sure it's butterfs which we can see right here is butterfs which we can see right here is butterfs which we can see right here is indeed we have that we have the chaotic

indeed we have that we have the chaotic indeed we have that we have the chaotic Aur which is a bunch of pre-compiled Aur which is a bunch of pre-compiled Aur which is a bunch of pre-compiled binaries from the Aur well it's just it binaries from the Aur well it's just it binaries from the Aur well it's just it really increases that package really increases that package really increases that package availability we have fire dragon which I availability we have fire dragon which I availability we have fire dragon which I said earlier that it's Firefox which is said earlier that it's Firefox which is said earlier that it's Firefox which is true but I believe it's a fork of a fork true but I believe it's a fork of a fork true but I believe it's a fork of a fork because I'm pretty sure it's uh based because I'm pretty sure it's uh based because I'm pretty sure it's uh based off Libre wolf and of course they have off Libre wolf and of course they have off Libre wolf and of course they have their settings manager which I don't their settings manager which I don't their settings manager which I don't think I opened so if I go over here we think I opened so if I go over here we think I opened so if I go over here we have Guru assistant agruda gamer the have Guru assistant agruda gamer the have Guru assistant agruda gamer the settings manager so if I open this up settings manager so if I open this up settings manager so if I open this up this is uh I think just a customized this is uh I think just a customized this is uh I think just a customized version of the Manjaro settings manager version of the Manjaro settings manager version of the Manjaro settings manager which gives us some Hardware which gives us some Hardware which gives us some Hardware configuration we can change our kernel configuration we can change our kernel configuration we can change our kernel yeah this is from ninjara we could yeah this is from ninjara we could yeah this is from ninjara we could change our kernel here so running Linux change our kernel here so running Linux change our kernel here so running Linux Zen so for some reason it's some Zen so for some reason it's some Zen so for some reason it's some Hardware incompatibility with that you Hardware incompatibility with that you Hardware incompatibility with that you could easily switch that and then we could easily switch that and then we could easily switch that and then we have some Locale settings and stuff like have some Locale settings and stuff like have some Locale settings and stuff like that so again awesome distro almost that so again awesome distro almost that so again awesome distro almost as awesome as the sponsor of today's as awesome as the sponsor of today's as awesome as the sponsor of today's video the node you might not be able to video the node you might not be able to video the node you might not be able to run Garuda Linux but you can definitely run Garuda Linux but you can definitely run Garuda Linux but you can definitely run Arch Linux which is cool to say that run Arch Linux which is cool to say that run Arch Linux which is cool to say that your server is running Arch by the way your server is running Arch by the way your server is running Arch by the way it's been up oratory wide variety of it's been up oratory wide variety of it's been up oratory wide variety of distros using lanode or you can use one distros using lanode or you can use one distros using lanode or you can use one of their one-click installers to get a of their one-click installers to get a of their one-click installers to get a service such as nexcloud Plex focal service such as nexcloud Plex focal service such as nexcloud Plex focal board there's a whole bunch of stuff on board there's a whole bunch of stuff on board there's a whole bunch of stuff on there spun up with easel again use the there spun up with easel again use the there spun up with easel again use the link down below for 100.68 credit and I link down below for 100.68 credit and I link down below for 100.68 credit and I do hope you have a very good day again do hope you have a very good day again do hope you have a very good day again links to the geruda website as well as links to the geruda website as well as links to the geruda website as well as the release announcement will be down the release announcement will be down the release announcement will be down below also this is a new below also this is a new below also this is a new wide angle lens so let me know if the wide angle lens so let me know if the wide angle lens so let me know if the video looks okay as well as the audio video looks okay as well as the audio video looks okay as well as the audio I'm testing out a really small shotgun

I'm testing out a really small shotgun I'm testing out a really small shotgun thing so if it sounds horrible let me thing so if it sounds horrible let me thing so if it sounds horrible let me know down below with all that I do hope know down below with all that I do hope know down below with all that I do hope you have a good day and good bye
