I just discovered Garuda Linux and would like to install the Garuda Wayfire version.
I am currently running Arco Linux and would like to install Garuda Wayfire on the second NVME in my laptop.
How does it work with GRUB when I have installed Garuda, will the GRUB from Arco Linux become obsolete when having installed Garuda Linux?
And will the GRUB from Garuda Linux have also an entry from Arco Linux automatically or do I have to configure that manually?
Thanks
Regards
G.
When installing the grub, Garuda installer will set with efibootmgr the new entry as first (so you’ll use Garuda’s grub).
But if necessary you can set back Arco grub as first.
Yes, this is done automatically in grub with the os-prober.
Probably the contrary could not be valid, i.e. the Arco grub might not be able to probe Garuda, I think due to btrfs aspects.
Edit: I see now Arco is also with btrfs, so it will probably work also the other way round.
Thanks for that professional and fast reply. Arco Linux also uses BTRFS with snapper, but that does not have anything to do how Garuda will be installed. Again thanks most appreciated. I will give it a try.
