Been using Garuda for the past 3 months and I believe that now is a good time to introduce myself.
I am an academic and writer who focuses on security/defense issues - particularly those relating to the Middle East.
My foray into the world of Linux began some years back when I had to work on my dissertation. My Windows operating system was getting in the way of doing a lot of things. Most of all, it lagged and felt bloated. Then a friend introduced me to Mint - which worked flawlessly.
I started reading about Linux in my free time and also learnt to use the terminal. I heard about Garuda some months back and decided to give it a try. Haven’t looked back since. It runs smoothly and everything just works out of the box. I recommend this to my students and colleagues now too.
Thank you to the team. I am not a computer programmer but I know all this must be very hard work.
