Just open a new thread in the appropriate section (GNOME, LXqt, …) write that you encountered the following while testing …
Also include the garuda-inxi so we have the system specs and the full ISO name.
Besides, write that it is running in a VM, as there can be problems here too.
Did the live ISO boot.
Install with calamares work too. Metal/VM
Just open some apps, from garuda and others.
Check for missing icons.
Those are the most important things for now.
