Garuda Linux is an appealing Arch Linux based Distro with BTRFS (modern filesystem), Linux-zen kernel, auto snapshots, gaming edition and a lot more bleeding-edge features.
I’ve been using Garuda Dragonized for over a year. It’s been no problem at all, runs well and is obviously Arch behind the Garuda additions (which are few and pretty much optional to use). It’s a simple way to start using Arch.
They do provide some useful stuff - garuda-update is helpful enough and the maintainers are active, typically getting package fixes out on the day issues are identified.
But yeah, it’s basically Arch. If you like Arch you’d like this, if you don’t like Arch you won’t. If you don’t want stuff pre-installed you won’t like the dragonized edition.
