Hello, nice to meet everyone and great to be here.
I originally posted this as a reply to a post instead of properly HERE.
Bad Ass Distro. Many Thanks to the team!
My nick is self explanatory. 
@Bro 
I started with Unix in 1990. It was my first experience with computing. I'm a Central Office Technician. (telco-tech) The system was an AT&T 5ESS Digital Cellular Switching System running UNIX developed by Bell Labs. AT&T 3B20 was the main processor.

Long story short... I was spoiled right away as UNIX as my first computing experience. We used laptops to connect remotely for maintenance etc... (My first DOS experience). I used DOS and then windows on home computers eventually.
Then I discovered the power of Linux with my first distro at home... Slackware 3.1 in 1996. I used strictly Slackware on my personal machines from 1996 through 2016. I felt right at home on Linux. I've never looked back. Only in 2016 did I venture into other distros other than Slackware.
I went on a tear in 2016 when I bought my iMac-5k-27" and tried debian+variants. So then came rpm based distros (opensuse is a favorite still). I have only ventured into ARCH Linux and variants in the last month. What a blast! Only one month ago did I decide to try Arch.
Here I am. After dozens of Arch & Arch based distros I landed hard on Garuda KDE Dr460nized. My first experience with KDE, btw. I've been a fluxbox user forever until lately.
I pay honor to rpm-based debian-based and arch-based distros. All of which provide a very fine solid base IMHO. I think my least favorite are rpm-based... I'm not sure why, just preference I guess.
So... that is my history, condensed.
Today, I have small network here @home running: Main Daily Driver: Garuda KDE Dr460nized --- File Server: MX-Linux --- Backup Boxes: Debian
I must say I am just astounded at how well put together Garuda is. What I love about Garuda are the defaults. Basically, the Garuda Team has kicked some natural ass. I love the defaults and all the thought and care that has obviously gone into this project.
Appearance: Wicked! --- Features: Hell yeah! --- Included tools and defaults OOTB: Perfect.
Basically you have done most everything for us end users. AT least for me, that is. Now I don't have to "fiddle" and "tweak" much at all after installing Garuda! Yeah... right says the UNIX/Linux tinkerer! Garuda is running smooth as silk on my Daily Driver.
Thank you so much for the work/effort/professionalism that has been put into this OS.
Daily Driver:
iMac 5k 27" --- CPU: Intel i7-6700K (8) @ 4.2GHz --- GPU: AMD ATI Radeon R9 M395/ M395X Mac Edition --- OS: Garuda Linux Dr460nized
NOTE: All hardware detected and working perfectly here with Garuda on my iMac! If anyone needs any help with Linux on the newer iMac Retina machines I certainly can help them out.
Nice to virtually meet everyone. Peace.
