Hi. After installing Garuda Linux and being amazed by the distro I felt that my BSD desktop needed upgrading.
Do you have any plans on a Garuda BSD distro?
Here is Ghost BSD with simillar to Garuda look but not as great.
“If development was a race, Linux would be the rabbit and BSD the turtle. Even the slowest Linux distro releases a new version at least once a year (except Debian, of course). In the BSD world, major releases take longer. This means that there is more of a focus on getting things right then getting them pushed out to the user.”
In short, I think rather not.

Oh I think maybe I did phrase my question in a amibigious way.
I did of course not mean instead of a Linux distro but as an additional option.
In any case thanks for the great work.
No
Looks are not everything.
I was thinking about that when I had my first thoughts about Garuda Suckless, as BSD is closer to a KISS philosophy and uses ZFS (a pretty cool filesystem from what I read) as well as other cool tools. But still. BSD is more obscure and less suitable for a desktop than Linux. Although if somebody wants a cool-looking BSD he might still do that. We’re a community distro, after all.
I did some searxing, there is ArchBSD which looks sketchy af, and there are also a few efforts to port pacman to FreeBSD. So if someone really wanted to, they could probably find a way to get chaotic-aur going on a BSD-type kernel and make a "Garuda from scratch" of sorts.
pacman on BSD doesn't have a maintainer, and it still seems like a bad idea for me. BSD is BSD, why use Chaotic-AUR with an incompatible kernel? Why use binaries there at all? Isn't the point there in this sweet ports system?
