Question regarding Garuda Dragonized regular and Gamer

Hello, I hope I am not doing anything wrong with posting this under this category so forgive me in advance if this isn’t used for questions like this.

I just have a simple question, I installed the regular Garuda Dragonized distro and have it set up, the thing is, I also would like it to have the same tweaks, configs and other things as the Gamer version I used before but without stuff like the emulators or Garuda-Games, or some other pre-installed apps like Discord. I am aware the Garuda Gamer section exists in Garuda Rani as of now but my question is that, would that be the only thing I need to turn the regular dragonized version into the gamer version or would I need other tweaks or optimization to have it as the same level as the Garuda gamer version?

Thanks in advance and again, sorry if I am wasting anyone’s time with this/not doing it correctly.

Hello,

as far as I know the only difference is the packages that come installed with the image.

Given that, you can get to your target state both ways. Either install the Gaming Edition and then uninstall anything you don’t want through RANI, or install the regular version and then add anything you need.

I started with the regular edition and add things to it as need arises.

PS: For some reason, in this forum it is customary to post your garuda-inxi regardless of whether that seems relevant or not. You’ll probably get called on it by someone from the Garuda team if you dont. :wink:

Performance/settings-wise there is no difference between both versions.
The differences are in the Gaming packages pre-installed in the Gaming edition.

I think you could give a look at the differences between

Oh okay, thank you a lot, the reason I asked was because from what I remember in the old website design (When it listed out what Garuda Dragonized gaming had), I remember it saying about some sort of tweaks/performances config to enhance your gaming experience, which gave me the impression that it has some sort of pre-installed config specifically to make games run better, if it’s just pre-installed packages and there is no other difference then that solves it, I don’t mind installing things from the Garuda-Gamer version as I see fit, I was just concerned if because of the tweaks I assumed it had, it would have been a better option for me as a gamer to get the gamer version and then try to de-bloat it from the things I don’t need.

Edit: Oh and noted for the garuda-inxi, I will make sure to include it in any of my posts from now on, thanks for the heads up!
